UGH!!!

The universal sound made collectively by the working class on Monday morning. Especially a Monday morning after a 3 day weekend.

{{SIGH}}

I neglected to let my bloggie neighbors know about something monumental that happened in our life last week. My husband lost his job. Total yuckiness on some levels but not on others. Of course I bawled at first at the shock & stress of it but I’m glad he’s not with that company anymore . . .stupidheads (she says resorting to elementary name-calling).

Making lemonade out of lemons, Spencer was able to be a HUGE help to his parents as they scrambled to move out of their house last week after the closing. Also, gladly, we have been busy around here recently to the point that we could use an extra draftsman. YAY! This allowed us to fully enjoy the District Convention with no stress of the Monday to come of not making any money.

My husband is really the greatest person for me. We are so much alike but compliment each other at the same time. I am so proud of him for throwing this recent burden on Jehovah and not letting it overtake him as he has been known to do.

The beginning pictures were taken in Charleston when Spencer and I were chilling on the grass taking random pictures of schtuff and each other. Ah, good times.

snakes and snails and puppy dog tails. . .

. . .that's what little boys are made of.

For those of you that keep up with my blog, I deleted the previous post by this name and am reposting it for the simple fact that it took me so long to load the pictures mentioned. I have SO much to catch up on here. . .{{sigh}}

No grasshoppers were harmed in the shooting of these photographs. . .we hope

A few posts back I mentioned Liam and his adventure with a grasshopper. I am finally getting around to posting the pictures of this encounter. For a little boy who is not fond of getting dirty, he flies his little boy flag when it comes to bugs and worms and all things squirmy. Just the other day, while pulling up these massive weeds inhabiting our backyard Spencer found an earthworm and 2 slugs. Liam was thrilled and wanted so badly to hold the earthworm but it did not so desire to be held by him (those things are fast). The worm and slugs are now enjoying their new home in our compost pile.
