Today were J & E's first soccer games of the fall season. J had the opportunity to play goalie for his team and E made a goal for his. Uncle T showed up to watch the second half of J's game- a great surprise.
My brother's second son, baby j, was born on wednesday (Aug 19 at 5: 50 pm). I had the awesome blessing to witness the birth alongside Twink (my sister). j was born six weeks early and is still in the NICU but thriving. We expect him to be home very soon.
I have been filling in as apartment manager until the complex owner (where I live) finds a replacement manager. I only plan to keep the position until September 1st and then return to substitute teaching. While the rent reduction incentive plus income is appealing, I do not like being on-call 24/7. Also, if I intend to be hired as a teacher, substitute teaching might help me get my foot in the door.
Not finding a full-time teaching position for this school year has been discouraging. I know that in hindsight I am always able to see God weaving His will through my life, even in the small things-- like my job, so I'm learning to be humble, to wait, and sit-back to see how He makes everything in my life work out for good.
J and E begin school this thursday. E begins kindergarten. My babies are growing up. I anticipate it will be tough for me to see them go.
They will wear uniforms at the school I transfered them to. I can't wait to see them wearing them on their first day. Uniforms may be cuter on a kinder and second grader than they will be when they are in 5th grade -- but, it sure made back-to-school shopping a lot easier.
What else is new?
I am tweeting! with approximately 0 followers ... when you round down :o)
It has been a great way to stay in touch with my sister and know what she is doing.
