Today has been a lovely day. We went out side in t-shirts and pants and were so comfortable. D even said he was Hot at one point...oh dear.
Yes we are still jobless, but we just keep pluggin' away, hoping we will hear from something, soon. In the meantime, we have enjoyed B being home. We had a free one week pass to the new community center, so we signed up to use it on monday. We took the kids swimming on monday and tuesday and they have just loved it. We hope to go again on friday and saturday. B n I want to go and try the rock climing wall maybe on friday too.
B has also finished up a lot of "honey-do" list items, on his own free will. I think he is just so stir crazy that he has to feel like he is doing something! And I don't mind at all. ;)
We got baby chicks almost four weeks ago and just moved them outside to their coop that B has so diligently been working on. He also built a compost thing-a-ma-jig. He did a good job i think. The kids names the chicks: Batman, scratch, racer, pecker and di-egg-o.
Sorry I haven't posted pics lately about all of these things. sheesh, i haven't even posted valentines day. SORRY! I will upload load those soon and get them on here.
We are doing well. I started being serious about running this week. I did 2.8 miles on M, W and plan to on friday too. I am going to do that 5K on the 28th of march. I was stoked on monday, cause i thought i had only done 1.5 miles but was confused on my calculations, so i got in my car and clocked it... 2.8 MILES!!! I was so excited. That is the most i've done ever!
Well, brad will be working with our brother in law for the next two weeks on a house, so that will bring in a little money, but nothing permanant yet. We've had many people concerned about us, bringing us food many times, offering to take the kids, etc. We've appreciated every bit of it and realized we needed to humble ourselves and except these acts of service graciously and with a smile. Thanks again to everyone for their concerns and prayers. We love you and know we will make it through this, right now we are just enjoying B home for the most part and I am really trying to hit the running again, since he's home to watch the kids...besides, if anything, it is a great stress reliever for me, so even more motivation!
WE love you all. We are doing well and taking it day by day. I will get those pics up soon.

I can't wait until the weather starts warming up here. I am so anxious to get out and start walking with my baby. I'm proud of you for running. I used to love running and now that I haven't done it for so long I hate the thought of even trying to start again. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Hang in there...things will work out.
No worries! I understand... and I did have plenty of people to earn my FREE shoes... you only have to have 10. I was worried there wouldn't be that many but I invited my whole nieghborhood and like half the people that came I didn't even know so it worked! :) Yes, I want to learn more about the filing:)
