Erin & Brad

Last but not least: Mommy and Daddy
Being home with my two little boys has so many rewards. Yes, we have many challenges each day, but each day gets easier and easier. We've been busy this summer, but all in a great way. Watching Sam be so interested in so many new things this year always seems to impress me, which makes going places that much more fun. I've also found some escapes for some "me" time since Matthew has been born. I've realized to keep my sanity, I need to occasionally have my own time. My friends have kept my sanity high and have dragged me out of the house to enjoy some girl time, which is something that we all need a little of and for that a Big THANK YOU to all of you. We will be faced with a new challenge early 2007 as Brad's job has been transferred to Jacksonville FL. Brad personally visited Jacksonville FL last week for 4 days to check it out. He met with a realtor and visited his soon to be new office. He came back feeling very positive about the location and will continue on his transfer early next year. JAX has a lot to offer and many many great communities. Brad will continue to go down occasionally. His boys (and me too) missed him dearly while away and will continue to, but soon the travels will end and we can all be there together. We are very excited for this new part of our live to begin, but scared to leave what we've called home for the past 29 years. We know this will be a step in the right direction career wise for Brad, which is important for growth at WAMU. We'll keep you posted on any new information as we receive it. Our home will go on the market in the next few weeks when Brad receives him relocation package from work. We have to sell this place before we can make the move down...and we know that the real estate market these days are iffy.
