Okay, so things have been a little bit hectic. Jason started his classes last week & the first day was quite an experience for me. He went to work all morning & then to class all afternoon. After his first class, he came waltzing down the hill for his dinner break, completely forgetting that he needed to be in the library for his Seminary Research class. The girls caught sight of him, only to have him turn around & head right back up the hill. And so ensued about 45 minutes of crying! Later that evening, (after Mommy was in charge of tubbies & bedtime) I had to navigate my way around the emotional trauma of having my 3-year-old saying, "I don't want Daddy to go to school. I don't want to live here. I want to move back to my old house. And I want my dog back!" But we made it through & are developing a new version of normal for all of us.
Jason's classes are good. There's only one that he feels is going to be the "I'm-ready-to-go-right-over-the-edge" class. He has to write six 6-8 page papers for this class, but is only given the topic the week before. That has him a bit frazzled. All in all, his classes are great. He really enjoys the subject matter & his professors.
Meanwhile, the girls & I are enjoying our "new" life. Peyton is walking all the time now & loves to explore (read "get into trouble"). I'm homeschooling Caleigh for preschool & we LOVE the time we get to spend together. I am also learning to take pleasure in the little things. Like this picture of the girls . . . what you can't see is that they're both sporting their new rainboots. 
Our family still needs your prayers. The house is still for sale, & although there's been lots of activity on it lately, nothing has materialized.
But life is still good. God's still on the throne. And He knows the plans He has for us.
