Life has changed a lot for this family since my last post in March. I've tried to post with no success several times, but for some reason blogger doesn't like my posts from my phone. And... as much as I'd like to have time now to upload a bunch of photos, I have about 15 minutes before we are out the door for yet another football practice.
In some ways, life looks the same as it did a year ago at this time. We spend our free time at the football fields, and both Avery and Silas are playing all-star football, which means we are out at the fields every day but Friday. And we are still attending the same church and associating with mostly the same friends.
But there are so many things that are very different. Steve is on shift, which I guess was true last time I blogged, but that is a big change from last summer. And I'm in a totally different school teaching a totally different subject. I'm teaching junior high FACS here in Greenfield. I love the new commute. And teaching is still "just okay." I don't think it is my calling to be a teacher. Here in the near future I'll be moving on. But for now, this is where God wants me, and this is where I will find my contentment for the time being. I'm looking ahead some, and I'll share more about that when I'm ready.
The kids are attending school here in town now too. They absolutely love it. They are home by 2:30 and actually have a life aside from school and sports. They get to do homework and play before dinner! And Chaille has started ballet, which is simply adorable. She loves it, and I love how she looks forward to it on Tuesdays. When I come home she is fully outfitted and ready to head out the door.
Life is really good for us. Everyone is enjoying life in one town, with much less driving and much less hustle and bustle. And I'm looking forward to where God is taking our little family. For now, however, He's taking us off to football practice. I promise to blog soon with pictures (as soon as I can find where exactly the file is stored on this silly phone... Android is much more tricky than Apple.)
