Life is Crazy!!!! Just when you think you have a plan, everything is thrown back up in the air and could fall anywhere. I suppose this is what keeps life interesting but sometimes just sitting back and enjoying the view, could be a fresh change.
So many things have happened in our family this last week or so. Timery started her job at the university, which she loves! She has met so many people and just loves the atmosphere up there. Michael starts his new job on monday and he is very optimistic about that. He will be a salesman of sorts and account manager, which will be very different from what he has been doing. He will still take jobs with his graphic design business, so he will stay plenty busy. We have been able to enjoy Miette and Elliott here while Timery is working. It has been so much fun hanging out with them and so busy! Miette is starting to potty train and that has been kindof crazy but she is getting it! We all do eventually, don't we? Elliott is pulling herself up to the couch and anything else that is stationary. She is a crazy woman!!!
Mason bought a car that will start every morning and the windows even roll all the way up in this one. He got a cute little Ford Focus of the hatchback, standard variety. This is his first experience with a standard and he has had a great time buzzing around, showing off his "ride"! We are so happy for him and we think he made a great choice.
Collin is still working very hard to get himself in school. He has an appt. on monday at Stevens Heneger to see about getting his nursing degree from there. I really hope that goes well for him so he can follow his dream.
Kyler loves his new area and is doing so well. There has only been one area that he really didn't like too much but he always makes the best of it and we are so proud of him!
Mike and Wendy are doing great! Mike's new job is much better than they thought it would be. The only downside is that Mike works graveyard, which is really only a half-life at best. The kids are going stir crazy and are so ready for green grass!!! They are happy and healthy and all is well at the Baldwin residence.
Bruce and I have been milking and taking care of baby goats. It is really hard to pull myself out of bed at 5am, which will turn to 4:30 when more does freshen, but it comes with the territory. I have realized though that we are very over-extended and even though the dogs have been great for us and have seen us through Mason's high school years, a couple of weddings and a couple of missions, it is time that we cut back and find good homes for most of them. I love them all but there really isn't enough time in a day for us to give them all the attention they deserve. Also, Bruce and I are working on the "change your stars" plan. I believe we have found a valid and productive idea, and we are going to go for it!
