A few things have happened since I last blogged... I will get to that, eventually!
Yesterday, Chris and Jake went with their school to the beach for the SOLV Beach Clean-up! It was supposed to be several weeks ago, but that weekend had crazy windy and rainy weather, so they rescheduled.
I dropped them off at the school, (8:15 AM on a SATURDAY MORNING, mind you) and as I was walking away from the bus, both boys - at separate times - ran off the bus and gave me a hug and kiss. I was shocked, stunned and blissfully happy!!! It was so unexpected, it brought tears to my eyes.
Chris and Jake were gone all day - they did the beach clean for a few hours and then went to the Outlet Mall for some window shopping... I gave them each $5 to spend on snacks or whatever they chose. Of course, they both bought candy. Jake came home with a Jawbreaker bigger than a golf ball that he had been licking on for an hour... Joy. They did think of Isaac and brought a smaller Jawbreaker home for him.
For some reason, Chris did some 'dumpster diving' while he was there... and came home with 2 exit signs, bubble wrap, small cardboard box, wire, rope. Seriously? I mean, really...? Why.
It was a good day!
(sorry there is no picture... My computer crashed and had to be reloaded, I haven't put the pics back on it yet!)
A family of 5, with 3 big little monsters... trying to keep it together, making it one day at a time, all by the Grace of God!

Well, Hello there!
Glad to have you back, Jill.
So glad to see you back! I think it's good to post once a year. Yeah, that's a good goal. hehe... :) (says me who tries not to think of blogging as a task not a should). Tell Chris no more dumpster diving. It's in the dumpster for a reason. :)
