Rolling with the punches........

Well.....so much for a stress free summer. We found out this week that Stephen will no longer have a job as of August 3rd. They are "dissolving" the property tax group for Pricewaterhouse so basically his whole group will be out of a job. He is really down about it and it's been hard for him to get up and go to work these remaining days knowing it's basically all going down the tube. I've been up to my eyeballs looking up potential jobs and filling out applications for him online - it is such a lengthy process! Although this was definitely unexpected, we both truly believe that God is control and that there is indeed something better out there for him. Something that will allow him to work closer to home and something that will allow him to be here with us more! I won't know what to do with myself to have him here in the month of August - which is the craziest month for any educator out there. So, we are trying to look at it as a blessing in disguise. There are ALOT of jobs out there that he is totally qualified for so I'm sure the right one will come along at the right time. We lived off of one salary when I stayed home with the girls for 16 months so we may end up having to do that for awhile until he finds something. It's not easy, but it can be done!

Anyway, the girls are spending the weekend at MawMaw and Papaw's house in Huntsville and having a blast! Logan has had two ear infections and a slight case of bronchiolitis so he didn't go. He goes back to the doctor on Monday to make sure he is all clear - I pray that he is because doing breathing treatments four times a day is definitely for the birds! Leah also goes back to the doctor on Monday to get her cast off (hopefully)! Then, maybe we can actually enjoy some summer and go to the pool!

The girls went to a cheer camp this week at The Little Gym over in the Sam Moon Shopping Center. It was at the same place they had their 6th birthday party. They absolutely LOVED it and took a real liking to it. The Woodlands Elite Cheer Company came and did cheers and stunts for them yesterday and gave them a coupon to come and try a class for free at their gym. The girls really want to do it so I'm going to call and get it set up for them. This is the first time they have really ever expressed so much interest in anything so I want to pursue it for them. They've tried gymnastics and dance and liked it okay, but never begged to continue to do it. They did a little performance yesterday for all the moms to show what they learned this week at camp. They had the girls on the front row of the cheer squad and they were really good - Leah especially. I think she is going to be my athletic one......despite the fact that she can't stay out of a cast! HA! I have a video of them from earlier in the week at cheer camp that I will post later today.

Stephen's birthday is this coming Monday so we're going to try and do something fun to celebrate this weekend - we're rolling with the punches!
