Staying Busy...


The past couple weeks have been filled with us making the early arrangements for our special project--our donation to Primary's, RMH, and Gunnison Hospital. We have a long way to go but things are starting out really well. I want everyone to know how much I appreciate their eagerness to help out. Above is a pic of just a few of the journals we made by covering some plain notebooks. As for us, things have been going alright. Joss has been working really hard. Usually 12 hour days. This week he has been helping a friend who owns a towing business with a few of his tows. So Joss has been especially wiped out. And when he's not doing all that, he is working to lay tile in the house. The poor guy is overworked!! Kaybri has been growing up so fast and learning so much. What a smarty! She already knows all her colors, can count to 10 (except she always skips 6) and knows some of the alphabet. I know that its not uncommon for two year olds to know all these things but I still have to brag her up! :) As for me, I haven't really had a lot going on. My sister in law talked me into reading the Twilight Series. Vampires and all that Science Fiction stuff is not for me, but I love these books. They are much better than what I was expecting. Other than that, I'm not up to much. I'm still anxiously waiting to find out about the 911 dispatcher position. Its been 3 months and they are still not done with background checks. There were two open positions. One person was selected last week so I'm hoping I'll hear soon--one way or the other.
So, we're just doing what we can to stay busy. Nothing will change how much we miss Brody. We are doing what we can to incorporate him into our daily lives. I think its going well. The days seem easier sometimes. However, when we have bad days, they somehow seem worse, but as long as his memory stays so strong, that is alright with me!

Those journals are so cute, and what a great idea! It is good to see how you are all doing. Kaybrie is sure a cutie! We think of you often and are in the works for some things to donate this November. Love you guys.

Glad to see all is well. I know what you mean about bragging on your two year old. I do the same thing and I'm sure when I speak, it sounds like Carson is way advanced for his age. Anyways, way to go Kaybrie for your colors and counting. You sure sound pretty smart to me!!! Good luck with your donations. Im sure Brody is looking down and smiling at you for your big heart efforts.

Love,
Kaci
