Today Thomas and I played with GAK! What is Gak! you ask? Its blubbery goodness and is SUPER easy to make.

Here is the blog I found the recipe.

It's the easiest and cheapest thing to make and will last for several weeks stored in a food storage container.

First Day of School

Changes

Its been SEVERAL months since I have blogged and our family has had LOTS of changes in the past months. Its amazing to see how our life and our little family is so different since just April.

The first change is we're having another baby. Surprise, Melissa and Kris! I was at the place where content with our perfect "nuclear" family but apparently God has other plans. After several days of disbelief and shock we are very excited about this new addition and we are all looking forward to the spring!

Tootie has started first grade. This has been met with many milestones already. She is in public school for the first time, has been able to ride the school bus for the first time, and even ate in the cafeteria. She has had a little adjustment but yesterday she came home saying school was"good". This is definitely an improvement from the first day of school when she got into the car at the end of the day and burst into tears.

Thomas IS POTTY TRAINED!!!!!!!!! Praise the LORD and THANKS DARCIE!!!!!! He and I have been enjoying some alone time while Sissy is at school. Other than his daily meltdown when Sissy gets on the school bus and he can't he is doing great! Love that little man!

And Kris has started a professional iDevice and computer repair business: iMonkeyBR.com He has had a great start and we are praying he continues to stay busy. He has also decided to use his GI Bill and will be going back to school in the fall to get a Masters in Computer Science. I'm super proud of him and thankful for him!
