In other news....

Since I am waiting on the laundry to finish before heading to bed, I thought I would add some of the pics from Shelby Anne's baptism on Sunday... Unfortunately, our camera doesn't have a great zoom so you can't see much from the service...

Shelby getting dunked and not liking it!!!
Babies, babies, everywhere!!

Not too much else going on, I guess... Matt got his "walking papers" on Monday stating that July 3rd will be his last day at LSI. (I would imagine that most of you know already that the company he works for lost the Chrysler contract and got the boot, but just in case.) But they couldn't even keep them on to give them the paid holiday on the 4th! I'm hopeful that this forced transition will be a good thing for Matt's career as well as our family, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Worse case scenario, he stays til the bitter end and gets 2 weeks severance and 1 week of remaining vacation time cashed out. That will at least buy us some time! As for me, I've started weight-lifting at the gym so hopefully I can convince my metabolism to start burning off the all the ice cream I consume. Oh, and most exciting!! I am about to make the last Bob (the landlord) payment!! Well, I guess I should go and pay bills... Yuck... See you all soon!

I'm sorry to hear about Matt's job. Maybe while he's looking for a new one, y'all can visit. Start making the Bob payments to a Visit VA fund ;-)

The yard looks great!

Congrats' I know that is a huge weight off your shoulders for the landlord. I know once we have our cars paid off the extra money will come in handy.

I wanted to tell you that your landscaping looks fabulous (late comment). I also would love to have copies of the pics you got on Sun. I love that one of my mom and Brenda. P.S. I posted today!!

Does Matt have any desire to work maintence at a school? We have several positions that will be opening- decent pay and EXCELLENT medical converage... I know it'd be a drive (only too well since Mike does the same/ opposite drive), but I did think of Matt...
