Much needed update!

So sorry it has been so long since my last post. We lost the charger for our camera battery when we moved, so we have not been taking as many pictures. The pictures we have been taking have been on the 35 mm camera which means I need to get film developed.

I am 17 weeks pregnant now. We have our ultrasound to find out the sex of our baby on October 23. Things with the baby are going fine.

God has blessed us, making it possible for me to be a stay at home Mommy for the first time ever. I will continue to work up to Christmas at least, but after that I will be home. We are purchasing a T-Shirt screen printing business in Grant and moving it to our garage, so I will still be working, but I will be able to have the kids with me.

Josh is still working for the rail road and still really likes it. He works a day shift that is Sunday through Thursday. This means that he rarely gets to go to church with us, but we do get to have him home with us in the evening. He also is a Seed Advisor for Garst now. He is just getting started with that, but basically he is a seed sales person. His other new venture is the Volunteer Fire Department in Grant. He hasn't gotten to go on a call yet, and as busy as he is with everything else, it may not work out, but he is excited about it and gets to hang out with a great group of guys. He and my dad are also remodeling our kitchen so that we can get the kitchen cabinets out of the garage to get the screen printing equipment in. They took out our chimney last weekend. That will give me an extra 24 inches of counter top and cabinet space. Josh also took a 30 leave of absence to help my dad with corn harvest. He will be gone from October 15 to November 15.

Nate and Cliff are in 4th grade. They had a rocky start, but are settling in pretty good. It is fall soccer season, which means our Saturdays morning are busy with games. Our Scouting activities have also started for the year. Cliff has a lizard in an aquarium in his room and Nate has a Chinchilla named "Scott" living in his room.

Ryan is 20 months old he is starting to actually say things that we can understand. "Hi, Bye, and Ok" are the clearest with Ma, Da, and some other words for Nate and Cliff. He is also starting slowly at Potty Training. He will go in the toilet if you ask him to. He doesn't usually tell us when he needs to go yet, but he is still pretty little, so we are taking this very slow. He loves his new babysitter and tells me bye before we ever get to the door in the mornings. Ryan also has grown quite attached to his Grandma Ferguson recently. If she is around, no one else will do.

Well, that is all I have for now. Hopefully I will get more pictures up soon!
