Not too much happened during August. We went up to see my nephews in the fair as was described in the last post. Katina kept busy with her calling as compassionate service leader. As most people with this calling are aware, most of the service comes in waves. We didn't have anything for three weeks, and then one week
Katina had to coordinate food and help with a funeral, two surgeries, and a hospitalization. It was crazy, but as always, the ward was more than willing to help.
Daniel still continues to be a smart little guy. He loves to spell words and has fun scattering his letters all around the house. He has become quite the pro at tempter tantrums. He will start screaming and then yell, "Don't look at me! Don't talk to me, mommy!" It is very cute, but exhausting at the same time. Eating has not become his thing this month. He doesn't like to sit down for meals and has skipped meals, mainly breakfast. After talking to friends, I found out that this is very common for his age.
The biggest news has to do with Chris's job. For the past couple of months, the construction industry has been really slow. His wonderful boss has done everything in his power to get more work, but Chris has been warned that money just isn't coming in. Today was his last day of work until the company gets more revenue or he finds another job. It is the nature of working for a small business and hope and pray that he gets some income soon. We have enough to get us through the next six weeks. Please keep us in your prayers.
