Update on EVERYONE~

~I will survive by Gloria Gaynor is the song that keeps going over and over in my head....something like this:
Oh, no not I, I will survive,
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
And I, l will survive, I will survive....Hey, hey......

I am such a goofy ball when it comes to getting a song stuck in my head that will replay it over and over again!
We are all still alive and kicking....Praise God!

Eric has started working out of town again, so I have to say I MISS HIM!!! Probably more than ever. We had a really long stretch where he was home every night and around 5:00 you could get really excited that Daddy was almost home to help with the craziness of the 2 most horrible hours of the day. (4:30 to 6:30) He will continue to be out of town through the end of the summer just coming home on Thursday evenings and leaving out again on Sunday. He is such a wonderful father, so I know that being away from all of us is terribly hard on him as well.

Ty is well and doing really good. He used his money that he received for his birthday to purchase a PlayStation 2. I am really proud of him and the fact that he is such an awesome Child of God. All of his teachers adore him and praise him in the fact that he is just a really good kid....even if he talks too much. And clearly, I don't know where on earth he gets that from.

Keely girl is just "Keely" right now. She is on a new medication that I am praying will be the key to allowing her to focus more in class, so that she is able to retain more information. The only thing that I have really noticed is the tearfulness. She will cry at the drop of a hat, which may also be related to her age. She along with Ty have had the opportunity to ride the bus home over the past couple of weeks and truly love every second of it. It is a big leap out there for me to trust the school with my babies...it sounds crazy I know, but I'm a nut.

Marlee is so stinkin' funny these days. She can carry on a complete conversation with you. She refers to Maggie as "Baby"...we have played this game forever where I play like each of them are "MY BABY". And when you are "my baby" everyone has to come and say "Hi Baby" "what a pretty baby" and so forth. Anyway Marlee thinks that Maggie's name is baby now, which, she is the baby of the family, so it's kinda of appropriate.

Maggie May is starting to really come out of her shell more and more daily. We are trying to teach her how to share and be a bit more loving towards Marlee. She tends to be very shy and head strong. She is learning "Jesus Loves Me" and wants to sing it all of the time. And with in the past few days she has really grasped the concept of bowing her head, closing her eyes and holding her hands very tight to pray. What an awesome blessing to see all of these things.

And for me all I can say is that I am super busy, but truly blessed beyond measure. Praise God for all of His wonderful blessings He has given us daily!!
