Random catching up in the blog world...

So it's been a while since I have made any updates. We have been up to a lot of stuff over the past few months, new jobs, new activities, and new additions to name a few.
It's hard to believe that my "little" Andrew will be starting kindergarten this Fall. Here are a couple pictures that we took when Andrew went to Kindergarten round-up this spring. He wasn't to sure what to think of the whole school scene at first, but he was very excited to get to take a ride on the school bus. "And mom, we didn't even have to wear seat belts!" It's the small things in life that excite Andrew. We met the three teachers, to which I have already picked my favorite, then took a tour of the school while the kids enjoyed classroom activities with the teachers. I wish we could request teachers, but the new principal is not a fan of that process so we'll have to wait and see who Andrew has.



In April, Andrew started baseball practice in Auburn. I thought he would be at a great disadvantage from the other boys because he had never played before and most of the kids had played t-ball the year before. Luckily, he picked up very quickly and is doing well. His league is coach pitched, over hand, with five chances to hit before being out. Andrew has only struck out once that I can recall ... and it was really the coaches fault because the pitches were really high. So now that he has games once to twice a week, we are traveling all over the area and seeing some new scenery on our way to the games. I think the record is 3-2, but I'm not positive. I tend to not get so caught up in the score at this age, just that Andrew is having a blast :)

In other news, I am now a Great Aunt. Wow that makes me feel even older than I did before! My niece Kellie had a little girl the middle of April. They named her Keagan. It sounds like I will be watching Keagan this Fall while Kellie and Korey are taking classes and working. Hence the new job as mentioned earlier.
I will still be working at the church as the Children's Ministry Director, I just get to take the kids with me! While we're on the subject, I have also started doing the accounts payable for our church. Our Financial Secretary decide she would like to move on to other things, so I was asked, given my background, if I could take that over. Now I get the best of both worlds ... doing something that I really enjoy and get to use my creative side - Children's Ministry, and doing something that I went to school for - Financial Secretary.
