Time is flying!

Fall is whirling past me! Kids are all settled into school and different sports/activities. We just had parent/teacher conferences yesterday. Caleb is doing great, all A's, one B and a C in math. The goal is a C+ or B in Math next quarter! He has his playoff game this weekend, and WHEN they win, Championship the next week! He's such a great kid, I love just talking with him and hearing his thoughts and feelings~those of you who know Caleb know it's a privilege for him to actually really open up. His teacher even said she feels he has a wall up towards people. Can't really blame him, we have been though a lot in the last 10 years.
Joshua's teacher said that he is doing very well, scoring above where he needs to be in every area, but one. He thrives off encouragement (no news there!), and gets very down on himself when he isn't able to complete his work the way he wants to. He's making friends and loves to tell everyone stories from Hawaii on their breaks.

I am still looking for a job, had a phone interview with Jetblue and really believing I will hear something back from them. I LOVED working for the airlines before, not to mention the free flights!

I'm still getting really overwhelmed most days, but am trying to remember that it's one day at a time, one choice at a time. I really have no idea what next year, or month, or even week, will bring.
"But above all pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own."
I was doing what I do best last night, worrying! I start with something small, like one of the negative comments from the teachers and then I worry about how I am as a mom, or how the kids treat each other and what issues they will have when they grow up, and what should my main focus be, what is the most important thing I want to instill in them, what should each days focus be....Then I remembered the verse in Matthew. So for today, I'm pursing God. I might fail tomorrow, but Today, I'm making this choice.

My prayer is that God would open doors for my family. Doors that are so obviously opened by Him, that I will have no doubt about where to place my next step!

Oh My Gosh Josh is just SOOOOO adorable!! I can picture him sitting around telling everyone stories about the catamaran and how he was on the payroll. I miss those stories SO much!! I want to adopt that kid! I miss Joelle too!
I like your concept of living one day at a time, and making one good decision at a time. I will have to remember that. Good luck with that job! Then you guys could fly to Hawaii for free: your REAL home!!
