I couldn't get the video to load of him reading his letter but I'll keep trying.
We're very excited, proud and nervous. Vance is going to be an awesome missionary!

So, I've started a new undertaking. I'm designing and writing a website, <a href="http://www.crochet-basics.com/" target="_blank">crochet-basics.com </a><br />
<br />
I'm just getting it going and I have lots and lots of work to do on it. But, that because I have lots and lots of great plans for it down the road.<br />
<br />
It's my new job and I really am loving it. It's stressful at times, fun and exciting at times, and overwhelming at other times. But, I'm digging it. I really enjoy (most of the time) writing the pages and working on new ideas. It's been good to have a new outlet. I didn't realize how much I needed to just step out of my everyday life and do something new.<br />
<br />
I'm still working out how to balance everything, being a mom, being a wife, being primary president, and now a web designer. But, I think in the end I'll get it and it will all turn out to be great.<br />
<br />
I'm grateful for the opportunity that I have to do this, right now. I wish that I had done it sooner, but really, I don't think that I was ready to do this earlier. I think that I'm at the right time in my life to start this new adventure.<br />
<br />
So come check it out and see my progress -- however slow it may be at times. And, share it with your friends! <a href="http://crochet-basics.com/">crochet-basics.com</a>Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01605326149012272957noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23942858.post-47458215315440215162013-09-11T08:44:00.001-04:002013-09-11T17:47:12.469-04:00Wordless Wednesday<br />

We're starting a new adventure at our house . . . as parakeet owners.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids have been working for several weeks to get their new pets. They've also been researching parakeets like crazy online. They probably know more about parakeets now than I'd ever want to learn. When the day finally came to go get the birds they were beyond excited . . . so excited that they were hard to be around . . . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They picked out 2 little girl birdies. The one that's grey and white is Noah's and it's name is Stormy. McKaylie's is blue and white and it's name is Sky. Their personalities seem to fit their names, too. Sky is quite calm and relaxed, while Stormy tends to be more jittery and not want to stand still.</div>

They seem very sweet and so far don't make a whole lot of noise. Every one tells me that won't last, but we're hoping that it does. I'm sure there's some birds out there somewhere that aren't super noisy, right?</div>

These guys are pretty big, but most were tiny little things running around. At times it looked the the sand was moving because the little ones are spotted and look just like the sand. The kids love it.<br />

Chad and I couldn't help but feel a little sad that this might be our last summer here in Virginia. It's never been our favorite place to live, but there are things about it that we love and the beach is one of them . . . walks on the beach, watching/listening to the waves, the breeze off the water, enjoying the kids while they play and the amazing sunsets. If we do leave the East Coast, we will so miss the beach!</div>

Here's my little buddy. Even though he's 8 months old now, it still seems surreal that I'm a grandma. I mean we see him quite a bit. He's totally captured my heart, everybody's really, and he gives me sloppy, wet baby kisses, that I love . . . but when I think that I'm his grandmother, that just seems so so strange. I don't know at what point that it starts to feel "normal". I'm guessing not for a long time. I guess in meantime, I'll just keep loving this little guy and appreciate the blessing that he is to our family.</div>

It didn't fly away even when Noah reached out to touch it. It was really very beautiful and we stopped to admire it and take some pictures :) 45 minutes later when we were done with the appointment, all the kids wanted to do was go see if the butterfly was still there. Sadly it was already gone, but McKaylie and Noah talked about it on the way back to the car and on the way home. It made me think ~ there are so many "things" in the world today to grab our children's attention, many of which I wish I could hide them from. But the things that seem to have the most positive, lasting effects on them are the simple honest beauties around us . . . like a butterfly on the wall that isn't in a hurry to fly away . . .<br />
<br />
I feel very fortunate to have children that want, even crave, simple, honest, and virtuous influences in their lives and that they can see and appreciate the truly beautiful things around them.<br />

We had a great time on the 4th. It was all family time, laid back and easy going. Love those kind of days! We spent most of our time at Myshel's house . . . swam for about 5 hours, ate yummy hamburgers and hotdogs . . . chilled with some popsicles and roasted a few mellows and made s'mores.</div>

Later that night we headed back over the bridge to Virginia Beach and went to the Dam Neck Navy Base to watch fireworks. It was nice and relaxing with a cool breeze coming off the water and really no crowds to speak of.<br />

Noah was especially excited to see that the sand crabs had come out and spent most of his night chasing them around. He actually got brave enough to catch one. They were fun to watch, but when it started getting dark, the bigger ones came out and ventured pretty close to us . . . I was a little worried they'd come pinch at my toes. :) Just a great day, appreciating the freedoms and rights we have here in the country and feeling very blessed!<br />
