The other transition we've had to make is that Jim has a new position at work. He got laid off from work about two weeks ago when the "big boss" in the company decided to eliminate his position (talk about perfect timing with the post-pregnancy hormones!). Davy (his brother and boss here in Texas) fought to keep Jim in the company and just move him to a new position. So Jim is now a land consultant (in sales) and it's a strictly commission job. We are so grateful that his unemployment time was short, but we're still in transition mode since there is no longer a steady paycheck coming in. Fortunately we have a good savings to survive on and our food storage ('We Thank Thee, O God, For a Prophet') until he can get going in the new job and start making some sales. But like I said... Life is good and we are a happy bunch. :)
Anyway, here are some pictures of what we've been up to for the past month while I've pretty much been MIA...
Such a cute big sister!
Dixie loves to give Summer kisses and say "Hi Summer"

I love all the pictures and looking at Summer makes me excited about our little bundle-of-joy's arrival. I'm happy to hear that things are settling down too. I hope everything else is going well. We miss you guys and will keep you updated with any baby news of our own.
I love the new pictures. Both your girls are just beautiful. I'm glad Jim was able to get a good position. You're a great example of food storage. You inspired us last year to get going!
