Wow, I forgot I started this Blog

Through the encouragement of a friend I decided it is time to give this blog thing a real shot. Since it has been so long, I will start by reintroducing the fam. Bruce is the Daddy. He is currently unemployed along with thousands of others in this less than superlative economy. He manages to get odd jobs here and there to help keep us afloat. Until this past Sunday, he was a counselor in the Elder's Quorum. I don't think his church unemployment will last very long! He works a shift or two at the Boston Temple every month. What a GREAT blessing that is!!!
I, Lara, am working as an Instructional Assistant at the local high school while I look for full time employment as a Social Studies teacher or just about anything else. I am currently serving as the Stake Young Women's President, one of the funnest and most challenging callings I've ever had. I am currently dealing with an interesting health challenge as well but more on that later.
Avery is a very active, bright, and friendly fifth grader. She loves all things gymnastics and/or cheerleading related. She plays the flute and even writes duets and solos to play with or without friends. She is endlessly, mindbogglingly creative.
Garret is now a 4th grader. He is still obsessed with video games especially of the Lego Star Wars or Lego Indiana Jones variety. Well, some things never change! Thankfully, he has branched out into real legos and even goes to and actually enjoys cubscouts, which gives me hope that he won't be living in our basement at age 40.
We still have the cat, Sara, have added a bunny named Minnie to our menagerie, and the chicken coup is still an active one. We now have three immovable vehicles and three functional ones with only two drivers. Top that, Mr. Foxworthy!
Look for my next blog wherein I explain my interesting health challenge...
