Paul

I'll start with Paul... The man of the house has been quite busy for the past few months! His client load at work has been a bit bigger lately. At times in the past, he had a lot of down time at work. He is happy to have more clients to work with. No travel lately, but plenty of "billable hours" which make the head hanchos happy!

He is also pursuing his PMP (Project Management) Certification. This required committing 5 full Saturdays in a row to class, submitting an application, and finally a test that he is studying to take hopefully before the end of the year. It has been time consuming, but it is a good investment in his career.

When our summer began, one of our few scheduled events was Paul's 20th HS reunion in College Station in July. Instead, he checked into the ER 2 hours after we arrived in town and had his appendix removed the next morning! Thankfully Grandma and Grandpa R. were already planning to babysit the girls and took care of them while I hung out at the hospital. Plus, Aunt Rebecca took the early morning shift with Paul at the hospital since I was with him in the ER late the night before! Another reminder of how blessed we are to have family around! He recovered quickly, and the girls were happy when he could scoop them up in his arms once again!

Paul is still serving on the board for our church and leading our Home Group. Our church is very tiny and facing a lot of transitions, so we spend a lot of time thinking and praying about what God has in store.

So, that is a summary of what Paul has been up to lately, from my perspective. Maybe one day soon we'll get him to post and get his perspective on life!

Oh yeah, we have a blog!

What can I say, blogging just has been low on the priority list lately. We had a great summer - busier and hotter than expected. Seems silly too even mention the summer now that it's almost November! But I noticed that the last time I posted was in May.

I've decided to re-vamp the blog for motivation. We've got a new layout and colors. And I think I will do one post for each family member to catch you up on what we've been up to. Maybe I'll even start adding pictures again...! But for now, it's off to bed. You didn't really think I was going to do any of that now, did you?
