Blob 'o meat...redefined!

You have no idea what an accomplishment this is for me! I CAN make a meatloaf that keeps it shape....and tastes good to boot. So, on this momentous occasion, I have photographed (i.e. documented for all mankind) my most prized meatloaf to date. [Also, for any of you that don't know...I have had prior meatloafs that come out of the oven looking just like "a blob of meat"--hence the loving term "blob 'o meat" above ;)]

The look on her face says it all. (She has had this attitude all week....definite mixed emotions.)
Becca's the old pro, don't ya know. Fourth Grade...so old.

Camping

Here are pictures from our two camping trips this summer.

After 3 1/2 weeks.....

Well, I am getting used to working, but that doesn't mean that I like it. It is not the real estate that I am comfortable with and used to. Oh well, I don't have much of a choice, suck it up!

The girls are adjusting well to being at "school" again. I really will feel much better once real school starts. Then I won't feel the guilt, because they would have to be there anyway.

This weekend we are going to Jim's nephew's house in Newport News, VA. I have never been there, so I am looking forward to seeing some beaches there :).

I will be uploading some camping pictures soon. The girls had a blast and we are planning a trip again next weekend. We are taking Becca's friend with us again because she had so much fun. She wouldn't schedule anything else in her busy adolescent schedule for that weekend (seriously!).

Till I blog later..........

So, about this job thing....

I have worked for two weeks now, and it is at times boring and brainless work. (I am actually here right now, and have nothing to do at the moment.) I have to keep in mind though that I have a job. I was formerly at home whining about the fact that I didn't have a job, and now I am doing the opposite. The hardest part is putting the girls in "summer camp" and not being home with them. They are both doing well, and had a really good week last week. I hope that this week will be good as well. (Last week was a fun week for everyone--Vacation Bible School as well as camp.) Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well for my girls, they are what matter most!

Ok, I'm going back to work

Well, I got a job. I'm nervous about it, but here goes nothing. I start on Monday working for the firm that I worked for before I had Rebecca. I will not be doing real estate though, which worries me, because that is what I feel most comfortable with. Now I will be doing litigation work (which I know nothing about...eek). Wish me luck!

More pictures from our visit to PA

Fun at the parade.

This kid is always passing out on the couch it seems. LOL
