Moving along.

We are still here and moving along! The boys all finally recovered from their illnesses and we are thankful for health again!

Preschool starts this coming week and I am excited to get back into the routine of the school year. We will be busy--I am leading a table at MOPS, the big boys are doing AWANA, we're participating in our small group, rehearsals for various things, and preschool three days a week. I am also getting Joel's therapy schedule worked out to fit in the "holes" and am feeling very good about the direction he is going in. It's all great stuff and I feel as though our schedule is still very manageable. We are looking forward to a fun fall!

The boys have been bickering a lot these past few days. It makes me go bonkers after too long so maybe they are ready for some more activities of their own too :). Brody won't know what to do with all of the peace and quiet around here when they are gone!

But speaking of peace and quiet, that little baby also enjoys himself some loud, live music! We've had several occasions in the past few weeks to see live bands and he just goes crazy. He shakes his arms, bobs his head and moves his chubby little legs all around! He does it while we are holding him, while pulling up on something, or while sitting in the stroller. I've got to try to get it on video because it's just so funny. I've never seen such a young baby react so pleasurably to bands :). Maybe he's following in his daddy's footsteps.

And speaking of his daddy, Zac's album is done and will be released in two weeks!! We've sold a few pre-release copies at some special events and the feedback has been awesome and I know that he is so encouraged. After working on this for so long, and hearing the songs so many times, I think he was beginning to question if they were even any good--but they are, and we are excited for other to catch a vision for the new hymns movement!

So, we are moving along....
