Family Pictures/Adjusting to the New Move

At the end of June we had Brooks' 1 year pics taken and a few family photos as well.  Here were some of my favorites:

June was a big month for big decisions.  With a lot of prayer we felt God was leading us back to the Austin area where Doug is the new head baseball coach for the Hendrickson Hawks.  I also got a job at the same high school teaching Algebra I.  The hardest part of all of this is my babies will not be with their Nana (my mom) anymore.  My parents also moved... We are now 3 hours from my parents and that has been a huge adjustment and will be a bigger one when school starts as both of my boys will be staying with someone other than their grandma. (Tears flow down my face just typing this)  Chance is going to attend a pre-k program through the district we are working for.  He will be fine.  He loves school.  Its my little Brooksie I worry about but I have to trust that God will watch over him and give me peace at the same time.  With all this said...we are getting settled in our new little home.  It's small, but cozy.  I actually really love it.  We have cows that come up in the morning and Chance loves that and there is a huge piece of land with a playground and open field across from us that Chance and Doug go and play baseball. There are other kids in the area coming to play now.  Chance is only 4 but he thinks he is recreating his own "Sandlot" experience.  :) Kids are knocking at the door for him to come play...and bring all of his baseball equipment. ha!  He loves it.  Loves it. 

The boys and I have been going to different splash pads in the Austin area.  One perk of living in a big city.  Lots to do... I am soaking up as much time with them before I start back to work.  Doug already has been going to work.  2 a days started this week for football.  I am back to being a single parent...I love football and I hate it at the same time.  Its definatlely a love/hate relationship - football season that is, well and baseball ha!  I wouldnt trade it for the world though.  I love being a coaches wife.  :) and I love being a mommy to these two little boys!
