Posting from my phone! I love technology!

So I'm posting from my phone...how awesome is that? I love having an iPhone! So I don't know what it will look like on the web but maybe this will help me post short quick updates on our crazy daily lives.

This year has been so BUSY. I can't believe we are in March. Here's a little update on all of us.

Brent officially stepped in to his new position at work - even though he had taken on most of the duties in the summer. It means more travel, more headaches and a lot more responsibility! He is growing and stretching in all new ways professionally. I'm really proud of all he does to provide for us. He has also taken on the responsibility as one of the main organizers for our Student Summer Camp. You know he likes spreadsheets, you should see the monstrosity he has for this. I think several people fainted when he opened it up for the first time.

As for me, the end of last year my scoping side job had become almost nonexistent.- which I was kind of okay with. So at the beginning of this year I prayed, Lord, if you want me to be done with this, I'm good to let it go now. As background, the thought of just being a SAHM still wasn't "enough" for me. I was still too career focused even after leaving the corporate world 2 years ago. Well, God answered immediately. I have been SWAMPED! Like no time to rest busy. So I'm trucking along editing depositions on home construction, car accidents, bankruptcy, etc.

And finally Eli. He is still ah-mazing, as always. He is so sweet, smart, funny and compassionate. He is having a great time at school and even has a best friend, Abram. He and Abram play "watch this" during nap time. "Watch this" consists of silly faces, looking like a fish out of water and animal noises. Boys!!
We also play the "What am I" game on our drives around town. I love to hear his imagination and the knowledge he has. What am I can be anything - animals, people, cars.
He has also taken control of our dinner table. He asks, "What did you do today," "How was your day," "Tell me about what you ate for lunch." We usually get about 4 words in before he interrupts us with what he did and other tangents. We're working on the whole taking turns while speaking.

So this is all done from my phone. I hope the ease of access to Blogger will help me to update everyone with crazy little stories or fun things we have done. We shall see...

I also attached a few recent pics. I'm not sure how they really play into the format, but everyone likes pictures!!
