Belated April Update

I just love these kids. I feel like a crappy parent right now. They ask to play, I put them off. I work all day and I don't play with them at the end of the day because I am too tired. At least daddy wrestles with them. I think single moms are the strongest most amazing people in the world.

We did manage to build a batcave.

Dyed some eggs.


Introducing...... Mary Poppins. Not cowboy. The difference-- an umbrella.
Cute cousins.

My little bakers.

I said to goodbye to a great friend and mentor at work, Tricia. I owe much of what I know and sucess I have had with my patients to her imparting clinical pearls of knowledge. Thanks Trish--- you will be missed.

In her absence, I am picking up extra shifts to pay for a vacation and I think thats why I feel like a neglectful nellie right now. I also am working with the young women now and that is super busy. Good thing today is a new day.

You are a great mom, Janel!
I am in Young Women now, too. What is your calling? I have learned that it is SO much easier to teach Primary!
Your kids are just darling as always. I hope to see you at the end of this month!!

Welcome to Young Womens! It makes you crazy busy, but it's all worthwhile. Can't believe how big all these kids are getting. Keep posting, I love the updates.

You are a wonderful mama, Janel! And a great LNP too, so feel proud and give yourself a big hug from me :)

Cute pictures! It looks like you do plenty with your kids. I think we all feel pulled by one thing or another, whether we work, stay home, are single parents, etc. I hope you're not beating yourself up too much. What was the big vacation?
