The latest & greatest from the Hansons

Sooooo..we are overdue for a update here!

Anyhow - I just started working full-time recently at the local Camp Fire USA office. It's the first salary job I have ever had & the first job I have run across that I could actucally justify working & having to pay for childcare. I am their Club /Teen Volunteer Program Manager. It's a ton of stuff on my plate & while it is crazy & demanding - I truly love it! The are also great perks like the flexiblity with hours and working with my friend, Jana, who I know from church.

Meanwhile the kids are at my mom's during the hours I am at work & seem to be adjusting to thes new arrangement just fine. I expected to be somewhat not so much in the mood to switch back to "mom" role when I got home from work but I find I am appreciating the kids & the time I have with them even more.

Brian is back at school again & has 17 credit hours he is working on this semester. It seems, by far, that his biggest challenge /thorn in his side will be his English class. This week he should get back his first writing assignment so we shall see how that went. The great new is that since I have started working he has the freedom to quit working at Pizza Hut so by the beginning of October he should quit working there! We ALL are thrilled about that!

Nate is continuing to dazzle us with his smarts. His newest word is airplane, he just said his first prayer last night - he always folds his arms & such but I could never get him to repeat any words - last night he did! I was soooo excited!

Rachel is growing like a weed, dazzles us with her smile, & has pretty much mastered the art of holding her own bottle! Yipee! Hard to believe she will be one soon!

More later,
Sally
