Life

The Phelps have been living life and my poor blog has suffered from it. However we are all happy, busy, and thankful so life is good.
Bryan has been busy with school. He is now at the hospital doing his clinical stuff. It is interesting to hear his stories each night when he gets home. His free time has been used bird hunting. Not a great season so far. The birds are hard to find :(
Parker is surviving junior high. Some days seem to bring all the emotional crap that junior high brings. Man I hated junior high! He is liking his teachers, can open his locker, and thinks he eats the greatest food for lunch.
Lilah is hating piano! What! We are making her finish out her books. Then she can quit because I hate making her practice. She is doing awesome in school. Her hair is finally long enough for me to put up and I love piling it all on top of her head in a messy bun!
Collin has a count for how many days he has been in school. Every time he grabs his backpack and jumps out the car I think he is too little to be going to school. I love his teacher and he doesnt get much homework which is even better :)
My Mon-Fri 8-230 schedule has been great. It is nice to be home with the kids each night as a family. My house is suffering because I can never seem to find time to clean but I have decided I dont really care.
We have new friends that we cant seem to get enough of. Friends that have already become family. It is hard to find another family were everyone gets along and enjoys each other. God has blessed us many times with amazing friends and Im so happy to say He has done it again. They taught us how to play pinochle and Im hooked.
Our weather has been gorgeous and I hope it stays for a while longer. Im not ready for winter yet.
I thank God for all He has done and is doing in our family. We are truly blessed.
