It's been a while....Sorry!!

Hello All!  Sorry it's been a long time since I've update you all.  Life has just been crazy.  We are doing great though.  Alot has happened since I posted last, so I will try to update you on all of it.  

Last week we were in training all week long.  It was a long week, but we learned so much and feel a little more confident in doing what we do.  We trained all day Tuesday - Friday and then had our First Aid and CPR training on Saturday.  So needless to say, my brain was tired by the end of the week.  Our kids were at different peoples homes during the week so that was hard to leave them everyday.  Liberty did wonderful as usual, and Caden had a harder time with it.  

Speaking of Libby and Caden, they are having so much fun at Gateway.  Most of the day they are outside playing and I don't know where they are half the time.  When we first came here I thought that I would know where my kids were ALL the time.  Oh has that changed!  We are just so busy during the day that before I know it, it's been a half hour and I haven't heard from my kids.  Libby is usually playing with some of the kids and Caden just wanders around Hickory House.  It's kinda cute, he never wanders off too far, but just walks around the house playing in the dirt or with sticks.  So with them outside pretty much all day, they get VERY dirty at the end of the day.  I don't think Libby has ever been as dirty as she was yesterday.  Boy do they sleep good at the end of the day though!!

This week has been a busy week as well.  We started to work more in the house and today we are actually by ourselves!  It's kinda exciting.  The girls are doing great, but not going really easy on us! :)  The days really make me tired!  But hopefully I will adjust and not get quite as tired.  So we are going to be on duty all day today until about 9 or so.  Then tomorrow Dad and Mom Hodel are coming to visit!!  We are so excited to have them coming!!  But I have Lots to do before they get here.  I will be running around crazy tomorrow morning trying to get my house cleaned.  Oh well! 

Caden is still in awwww of the all the horses out here.  The poor Amish people probably get tired of seeing him point at them and their horses.  I wander just how long it will take for it to wear off.  I hope pretty soon, because I'm quite tired of hearing, "Mommy, Do you know what I saw?  A horsie....or a "clip-clop".  I still smile when he says it though.  He is just so stinking cute!!  

Well, I think that's all for now.  I am really going to try and get some pictures posted.  Sorry!  I hope you all have a great day!
