A Day in the Life

Jillian reminded us this morning that sometimes a girl has got to stop and read the funnies. The funnier image was her getting herself up on the swing. We are consumed by the bus right now but trying hard, every day, to remember the reason why we're doing all this and to truly appreciate the journey. The whole journey.



That being said, there is an enormous amount of work to be done, so the kids and I do what we can. (The four of us physically at the bus while Robb and the guys are working, while educational and wonderful for the kids' sense of ownership and responsibility, is not the picture of productivity.) One of our current projects is the hardware for all the cabinets and drawers. We're cleaning it first with old toothbrushes, as the Nethercotts know, we have plenty of those. Then we need to figure out how to make them look pretty.

Jamie will resume her helpful roll but right now is engrossed in a project she came up with. She has written a book of poetry and is currently working on the covers. Our debate of whether she sells them at school (her brain child) or gives them as gifts (my preference) is still up in the air.

Oh bla di!
