Rich and I took the children to the playground Saturday evening. . . . .
It was fun to see the children all swinging at the same time. Are they really all mine? 
They just loved swinging!
In other news:
Rich was offered and accepted a new position (for the same company) in our state capital. . this means a higher position, a raise, and a shorter commute! May God’s name be praised and glorified!!!!!!! So often I freely share the burdens but shy away from sharing the great blessings. . . .I just wanted to let you all know. . .God is a great provider and we are so thankful and humbled by the way He is caring for us. Thank you, God!
Good to be Home 
I understand your joy in watching your children. Congratulations on the new position. The good things can be overwhelming in a wonderful way.
I am so happy for you! You have waited patiently for many years for him to have a shorter commute and be home more. God is so good to you.
I’d give you a mini, but ….
Wonderful news about Rich’s job! Praise God
what great news!! so happy for you!
had to chuckle at the “are they really all mine”… Sometimes I wonder about these kids at my house, that call me MOM, where did they come from?? lol…..I don’t think of myself like I used to think of other moms, like they should have it all together by now
Congrats to Rich!
Isn’t it so much fun to take the kids to the park and watch them having fun! We walked over to the park yesterday afternoon for a little bit- the weather was gorgeous! I am so happy for you and Rich and the kids! How wonderful that he will spend less time commuting, and a raise is just an added bonus! God is so good! Thank you for sharing your happy news!
rejoicing with you!

Congratulations to Rich and all of you. . .God is good—
PRAISING GOD with you on Rich’s promotion. How exciting.
That is very lovely, being able to spend time like that together is a true blessing. I’m so happy for you & your husband to get such wonderful news about his promotion! Praise God.
Yep! They are all yours! Such riches! Wonderful news about your husband’s job. I hope this means he will have more time at home.
A shorter commute means less gas in the tank too — more money saved!!! Congratulations — I’m so happy for you! Looks like a great day at the park!
Many congrats to Rich! I am sure everyone will love the shorter commute.
Your pictures of the park reminded me of our family’s visit to a park a short while ago. It was lots of fun for the children and lots of fun for me to take pictures. I don’t think my “wide behind” would fit into a swing seat any more, or I’d be out there swinging, too!Congrats on the promotion. More money and a shorter drive are always a “Good Thing” aren’t they? LOLBig hug to you today!
Congratulations to Rich — how nice it will be to have him closer to home! That looks like a wonderful day at the park with the kids — a nice celebration!
Congrats Rich! Rejoicing with you all! I love the pictures from the playground. It reminds me of the Afton school playground. Love you! Lish
