Has it really been that long?

Oh my gosh, we have really been in LA for almost a month. Things were crazy at first, but they are slowing down now. We lived in a house with 10 other people, that was a trip. Now they are gone, thankfully Ryan and Angie's house was spared by Katrina. They got a little bit of wind damage, but that was it. Tricia had a healthy baby boy named Deagan Nicholas and they are now in Michigan with Jeff's parents. It was a wild couple of weeks with a 5 yr old, 2-2 yr olds, a 5 month old, a newborn, five dogs, and a cat that seemed to stay hidden (I wonder why?). I am so glad that everyone is OK.

BIG NEWS! We are having another neice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ryan and Angie just found out that #3 is a GIRL! So excited! I cannot believe she is on her way! The noise decibel in this house is going to be incredible. I can't wait.

I have accepted a job at St. Francis Med Center here in Monroe. I will be working nights, so I can be with Hannah during the day. How about that...full time Med Tech and full time MOM. I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew, but whatever is best for her right? We are in the process of selling the house in Maumelle, and trying to find one here. Things are going kinda slow, but progressive. Marcus loves his job! He is in Florida right now on a business trip. He told me last night when he went to Hooters..."Everyone down here is so nice!" Well, yeah, at Hooters they would be. Hannah and I are going down on Tuesday to stay with him for the rest of the week. We are so excited!

On a sadder note, we miss our friends! Kevin and Kristina-How much I miss our support meetings! It would be so nice to have a hamburger and beer with the two of you right now. I hope our twins are still doing good. Just to let you know that HP is now 11 1/2 pounds now and sassy as ever. She now yells at you when you don't give her what she wants. We can't wait to see you! Jenn and Kevin- I hope we get to come to Lexy's birthday party. We can't wait to see how she has grown and to see the two of you. Yall have been such great friends through everything and a shoulder to cry on (Jenn, how many times have I called you crying?). Hope to see you soon.
ACH-I never thought I would say it...I wish I was at work there right now. I miss all of you, and can't imagine myself working anywhere else. Please keep in touch, and know I miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hannah is wonderful! 6 months, 11.5 pounds, 22 inches long, rolling over, standing up, trying to sit, starting to babble, smiling, laughing, loving life. What an amazing little girl. She gives my life meaning everyday. She is really learning who we are. Noone can make her smile like her Daddy. He truly was the first man to have her heart. They are so cute! I can't wait for the rest of her life.

A little shout out--Ray and Amanda--You are in our prayers everyday. We love yall and know the struggles and heartache you are going through right now. I just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you. PS...Amanda, Thanks for the card.

I hope this finds everyone well. Please take care.
