My how life does change!

In the last couple of weeks our life has had a drastic change. After being employed with his company for 10 years, my husband was laid off. Thank goodness I have a fairly decent job that I enjoy. Our initial reaction was total shock. Like my husband said, we built a family with his company. He worked there when we were married and through the births of both of our boys. It almost feels like a stage of our lives has ended. We have had to do a lot of thinking and figuring out how we're going to make it until he finds another job. Thankfully, we have the support of a loving family that gives a lot more than they should have to. I am so THANKFUL for them! My prayer and hope is that C will take this situation he's been dealt and make it an opportunity to grow in his career. Like my mother says, everything has a way of working out. I'm anxious to see how this does!

In the meantime, we're enjoying some soccer! With the rainy weather these days, Isaac has only had 2 practices and 2 games. Hopefully we'll get to make up the two games we've missed. I think Isaac is enjoying it as much as he can with the limited exposure he's had to it to this point. We remembered to take the camera to his second game, so here are some of the shots.

Isaac's really excited to be goalie. Can you tell?

Our "little" Alex is growing up more every day and is always keeping us on our toes. It is such a joy and blessing to have two healthy beautiful children.

it's always a competition!

Isaac will be 6 years old this Friday, and I can still remember the day he was born like it was yesterday!

I'm so sorry about the job loss! I know that is such a terrible feeling. We have been there twice. I know you are probably tired of hearing this, but it will work out!! Just keep praying!! Your boys are getting so big- I can't believe that Isaac will be 6! Crazy...
