Hello To You...

I know you thought I was M.I.A and well, I sort of have been..

So much has been happening so quickly, it's taken a little time to process it all.

Sept. 22 was my eldest daughter's birthday....

She turned "7"! She lost both her front teeth in a matter of two days. (one she actually pulled out herself. It came loose during her skating party and she pulled it out!)
I am simply in awe of her innocence. She has the sweets smile and the biggest heart EVER! She is loving and kind....smart too! How fantastic to see God's fingerprints all over her!

Sept. 30 my husband was laid off from his job and we decided that I would go full time on mine! What a significant difference it has made in our household! He now takes on most of the domestic roles around the house..(including schooling our kids). I go to work each morning and he takes care of the kids, the house, the dog....OH YEAH....we also adopted a dog!

Her name is Maisie. She is 11 weeks old..now - she was 9 weeks old when we got her! She is part Beagle & part Lab. She is the sweetest dog ever! She is already 80% housebroken! She is simply AMAZING...which by the way is how she got her name. We decided to wait a few days after first picking her out to name her. On the third day, we came to the decision that we would call her Trixie. We liked the name and it seemed to fit her. Later that same night while I was at work, our birthday child said to her dad, "Maisie would be a good name for a dog, Daddy." To which her brother replied, "Maisie is not a good name for a dog, Bailie." Promptly Bailie replied to her brother, "Well, She IS quite amazing Ryan!" So....the name stuck and it truly suits her...She is amazing as far as dogs go! We have already fallen deeply in love with her and she has brought a new dimension to the Melton household!

On Oct 1, I turned a very pleasant 37! On Oct. 5, my husband followed suite and turned 37 as well. We are not exactly sure how we arrived at this age, but we are content to be here! Neither of us would go "back" for anything! Well, maybe if we truly believed we could've found each other in the LORD earlier in our live, but only for that reason!

So that is what's been happening around here. God is moving. Rather, he is moving us.

I'll keep you posted as I can...time is precious right now as we settle into our new routine!

I love you all and hope to write again soon!
