why do I do this....

...to myself and not post anything for ages and then I feel like I am playing catch up!!! I used to be great about keeping up with this blog, now not so much!! It has been over a month since I posted anything and my last post wasn't even that exciting!! SO.... I guess I will go through the month in a short synopsis. At the end of July Rick graduated from the Houston Police Academy. It was 6 months of classroom and training combined. I am so glad that Rick finally feels like he has listened to what God has intended for his life. He graduated on a Wed. night and started work right away at his new station. Rick's parents were here for the week before graduation through graduation. Then my dad and sister came in town. My dad only for a few days but my little sister, who is 9 and Jackson admires her so, stayed for the next week with us. Then we flew out to California with her for a week. While in California we went to Disneyland for 3 days, which Jackson enjoyed every minute of!! So, to say the least we have had a very very busy last few weeks. Also, in those three weeks we told all who didn't know that we are expanding our family...that's right Jackson is going to be a big brother!! We are very excited and nervous at the thought of our family expanding. Just when Jackson is such an easy place in life we are going to add another to the mix!! We will find out soon what it is and I will be sure to sing from the roof tops to let everyone know. Right now though, I am glad to be home and get back to a normal routine with our little family. Maybe getting back into a routine means I will blog more?!?!? We shall see!!! My God's blessing flow to those who read this, and know God is good!!
