A Glimpse

This week and last I have been watching my niece. It has been really interesting for me actually. I have been carting around and caring for 5 children the last two weeks (basically). Short of the fact that Aurora and E are almost the same age, that is what my life will be like in a few months. Of course, having a newborn is a lot different than a 15 month old, but our new one won't stay tiny forever and this life of 5 kids is fast approaching.

In other news... we found out today that John got a promotion at work. We are both very excited for this change and we are incredibly grateful for this blessing. This good news means a raise and, hopefully soon, not so many hours at work for John. He has been working so much in the last couple years that the kids, especially A in school, don't see him much at all and I am usually asleep when he finally gets home most nights. I am really hoping it won't be much longer before he can attend church with us again too. Sacrament meeting with 4, soon to be 5, little kids is really not that much fun. Again, we feel incredibly blessed by our Father in Heaven and we are so excited for the positive changes this should bring to our family.

Congrats, John!
I do know what you mean about church without hubby help. I sent Dean to my mom's 2 weeks ago because I just couldn't handle all 4 of them. He's the biggest handful. I'm actually glad Clint didn't get the raise he was supposed to get in January. The last 3 months he's been working non stop- lots of overtime. If he would have gotten his raise he would have been salary.
