We had an eventful weekend. Julie decided that it was time that we found someone else to watch the kids. I had kind of felt like it was coming for a while now but still very stressful news. I told her that I was grateful that she has watched them for as long as she had but inside I was dying. I didn't know anyone that would be able to watch the kids. I thought that I would have to possibly quit my job and find something that I could do from home. When I am home I just love to play with my kids so I didn't know how well it would work out with me working from home. Needless to say I was just sick over this thought all day. Then my prayers were answered.
Aprilyn is our stake scout leaders and I have been bugging her about some of Burton's scout stuff. She graciously decided to personally come over to get him set up with a few things that night after I got the news from Julie earlier in the day. She happened to ask how I was doing... I opened my big mouth (which lately has been really big and vocal lately... not sure why... I will possibly blog about that subject later) and told her that I was stressing cause my sitter is not going to watch the kids anymore. Aprilyn said she would watch them. I was in shock! I felt a wave of relief come over me and we worked out all the details and VOILA and she is now "The New Player in our game plan".
It has been a blessing in both family's lives in so many ways that I will not list them all here. But Aprilyn has a couple of boys around the same age as our boys and everyone seems to get along very well. Everything came together so well that I don't think that I could have even planned it that way if I wanted to.
Thank you, Aprilyn!

I'm so glad I get the opportunity to help. My boys need buddies and we need a baby around here. We may never have another of our own so this is a great chance for us. Your kids are a blessing in our lives too.
Oh, and I'm not the stake scout leader..just the Cubmaster for 2 wards. :) Not that it really matters, but I couldn't handle being in charge of all the scouts in the stake! I have enough trouble with out 2 packs which gives me 21 boys to be accountable for.
I hope you guys have having a fun, cold day. We're still in our jammies over here. We're a bunch of lazy bones! :)
I'd say it's a good thing you opened your mouth. You must have been inspired! I'm glad it worked out so well and so quickly. I meant to tell you that when you bore your testimony last month it was really inspiring and It sounds like your experience here goes right along with what you were testifying of. The Lord will bless us when we try to obey him.
