It is offical I have a new job. I am the new Family Activities Coordinator for ECI Advancing Babies Chances. (a program that is a part of the Betty Hardwick Center) Before you ask, no I am not quiting any of my other jobs. If you count the house cleaning job I have. it brings the grand total of part time jobs to 4. I know I will be very busy, but I am very exciting about this new opportunity.
Basically I will be setting up family activities so that the families in the program can meet each other. (It could be a story night or a speaker talking about children nutrition) I think it's a job that I can do well and much of the work I can do from home.
The funny thing is this seems like such a "real job." Isn't that funny. I mean I have three other jobs that pay real money. Although my job is only 12 hours a week it's a pretty big company and everything is very official. The two nursery jobs I have now are very laid back. I start training in a couple of weeks and just the training is going to take a couple of weeks! I have to take defensive driving, computer training, CPR, and new employee training. Wow! That's a lot of stuff. I don't mind the training I just seems like such a big deal.
I think it's a great program and I'm really glad I'll be working there.

WHAT!
What! That is Kase's new word. When he really doesn't like what you have to say (like it's nap time) he says, "what?" I mean if he doesn't understand what you saying he doesn't have to do it right. He says it 4 or 5 time before he will give it up. This is that face that he make when he says it.

Aren't They Cute!
Mimi and Pa sent us some new really cute "matching" clothes in the mail from Colorado. So, today we cleaned up, dressed up, and brushed our hair and headed to ACU to take some pictures. The girls had a good time modeling. Kase however had other ideas. He asked if I was all done after each and every shot. I never got a great one with him in it, but I think the ones of the girl turned out great. Kase after a very short time refused to wear the little plaid shirt he has on in one of the pictures. Apparently it wasn't the fashion statement he wanted to make. He made it very clear he does not wear two shirt, one is all a boy needs.

Bible Bookmarks
I am always looking for good ways to bring "Bible time" into our family. The summer is always a great time to start new habit, because of all the free time we have on our hands. So, this summer the kids and I are reading the scripture using Bible Bookmarks.
The bookmarks have a new scripture or passage to read each day Mon.-Fri. that all apply to the same subject, like kindness or self control. It also has additional questions on Wed. and Fri. to help you along in you study. The kids have really enjoyed these book marks and it's a great time to talk about God. The kids comments and questions have just been so amazing.
The good news about these bookmarks is they are so cheap. They just cost 11 cents a piece. I got the whole summer's worth for under $10. Half of what I paid was shipping, so if you go together with a friend it would be even cheaper.

Camping Fun
It's been forever since I've posted, and I've missed posting lost of Brant happenings. Our camping trip was a few weeks ago, but I didn't want to miss having on the blog. We had such a great time. (I had more pictures but blogger wouldn't let me load them) We got there Friday evening and set up camp. We slept in a tent for the first time. Everyone went fishing and everyone caught fish. The pond at Buffalo Gap state park is great for kids to catch fish. Once it got dark we headed back to camp and saw tons of lightning bugs. There's just something magical about those bugs. Once the fire was built we roasted hot dogs, and of course had smores. On Sat. we did more fishing, rode bikes, and went swimming at the pool. We saw all kinds of animals. An armadillo came poking around our campsite, and so did raccoons. There was a pretty heavy rain the first night, but it wasn't any problem. The girls kept track of how many fish everyone caught, as well as what kind of animals and bugs everyone saw.
