The-I Don’t Have a Catchy Title-Post
June 4, 2008
The last week has been VERY full! JJ got home, Zach came to visit for a few days (and actually LIKED it here!), Kateri started working at a local coffee shop, Maggie (my sister who is visiting for the summer-or longer) started working at one of the million Starbucks in the area, I refocused on life with the kids and the amazing amount of work that I was overlooking AND I had the genius idea from the last post. Life is good! But, since I’ve refocused I realized that I couldn’t clear my head. My mind was rushing from idea to idea all day and night. Finally I took out a pad of paper and wrote everything that I needed to remember down. I ended up with a page and a half! Craziness! At least it’s all out of my head and staring at me from the paper. Now I can physically check things off and not have to think about them anymore. I’ve found that writing things down is such a helpful tool.
Tomorrow I get to go to the Apple Store, one of my favorite places, to work with one of my favorite people. Seriously, I love the people there! I passed along the number to the particular shop I go to, to an acquaintance and was so happy to hear that her experience (after going to a different location and being given the runaround) was just as pleasant as mine have been. No joke, if you use a Mac and you are in the vicinity of the UTC store….GO THERE!
Yesterday I was able to talk to Clay while he was in port. It was so nice to have a good chunk of time to reconnect! JJ was also able to catch up with him. It was really good for all of us. Clay and all with him are doing well and are very focused on the task-at-hand.
Alright, here are a few pics of what’s been going on around here;
Tristan and JJ serving at Liturgy (first time of serving together)
13 kiddos heading to the beach. THIS is why I drive a 15-passenger van!
JJ, Gabi and Luke-Xavier enjoying an afternoon in Old Town
Kateri and Zach checking out the pictures they had taken
Kateri and Gabi sharing a sisterly moment
Luke-Xavier looking angelic (notice, though, that he’s taken off his clothes, yet AGAIN!)
As you can see, it’s been good, just a bit much for one person to juggle. I’ve kept the balls in the air….mostly 
Good night~

In case you need any inspiration for you titles….
Thanks again for everything!!
It looks like all the balls are definitely in the air
Oops, I just dropped one- I’ll email you a picture of Jake who just got into the pantry and emptied out a lot of oats all over the kitchen floor from the bulk oatmeal bag. Whoops- see what happens when I get into reading your website… hee hee.
Great pictures Jen! I especially love the one of Kateri and Gabi.
Just wanted to say I saw J.J. the other day and he looks GREAT!! You are going to have a great summer with everyone together. I should try the list thing, my mind gets spinning too.
It has truly been Great even in the midst of all the madness! Thank you So much for helping us all keep it together.
I LOVE YOU xoxoxo
