This is how we've spent the week....

Actually, this is how we've spent the past two weeks....we have been Lumberyard workers! Josh's brother (our one employee) took another job, so we were forced to either hire or put the co-owner to work! In Josh's wise eyes, it is a cost savings AND valuable family time to put the co-owner to work and the 4 ducklings to work too!

Our days consist of climbing boards, counting money, using tape measures, having lunch as a family, sweeping, sorting nails, lots of snacks, computer games and reading books, deliveries with Dad at naptime, bike riding....as for me....I can now find you any size or length of board AND load it into your truck!! I am practicing using the forklift and memorizing prices AND really enjoying time at my husband's side!! He is just so cute and full of knowledge, people love him!

This has been a big change for the stay-at-home mom of 8 years, but it is good. I think we've crossed the bridge of making adjustments at home (no more gourmet meals!) and the kids are getting used to what is expected of them. Josh is thrilled to hangout with his kids during the day. We'll just keep trusting God and live each day to its fullest!

You'd think they would've had enough of each other, but one day when we got home in the hot afternoon this is how I found them!

Hi Em! How are you? It has been so long since we talked. When will you be in Grundy Center again? I hope you can come to my 30th b-day party. It will be on August 14th. Plus, you can see our new house. Miss you on Facebook...
