So I feel like I haven't blogged in a long time. I know it was last week but it feels forever ago. Things are going great for the Dick family. We are getting into a new routine with all the changes going on in world. The boys are playing basketball so we have lots of practices. Staci has a new schedule at work where she works seconds two weeks at a time and then days two weeks at a time. So when she is on seconds Jasmin and Elise are here in the evenings and spend the night. Evans mom is now working days so that has been an adjustment. Shane is working tons of hours too now so he is gone a lot but his job is going well. Both boys are doing scouts too now but they are doing them through our church. We are all adjusting to our new church and we all love it. The kids are really adjusting and learning so much and growing there.
Ok I am not liking how fast the holidays are approaching. I am sooo not ready for them to be here. This past Easter Jared has snooped through some stuff in my van and found his Easter basket stuff so this opened the door to tell our kids the truth about Santa, Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy. I am glad that is passed us and if I had to do it all over again we probably wouldn't have put so much emphasis on these fictional characters. Life is so much easier when we can actually talk about gifts and not have to deal with the disappointment of them not getting what they asked for. So we have discussed more about what gifts they want and if it will be able to happen. I know Shane has shown a couple things online to Jalen to see if he would actually like it before we made the purchase. I think we are going to do a family service project to help someone else out this year at Christmas so they can learn the true meaning of the Holiday. Also we are going to make some presents this year as a family. I am so blessed to have great kids who think of others before themselves.
We are also planning a vacation in the summer so if we save money at this time it will help this summer. They are soo excited to go on their first real big vacation.
