In a blink of an eye...

How can two months of your life flash by without a moment notice? I highly doubt if anyone is reading our blog still since I have been a slacker and not posted for so long. But for those who many come looking for a Powell update I thought I might post one. I also just got through reading through my past posts and it is a great reminder of how much our family changes and grows.

So on to the family update:

Scott- He has been at his new job now as director of Habitat for Humanity in our area since the middle of December. He has really enjoyed jumping into this ministry and is doing an amazing job if I say so myself! He is enjoying the outdoors and continuing to be a great husband and dad.

Laura- I have started a new venture that has taken up a lot of my time (hence the lack of blogging) In January I started my own Arbonne business. Arbonne is a home based health and wellness company. It has been a wonderful opportunity for our family and can't wait to see what happens in the future with it. I also am getting more involved with our church and even doing a woman's bible study.

Mateo-Wow what an active little man. He has grown so much and is speaking so much more then when he came home! He LOVES any kind of sport activity and loves playing outside even in the freezing michigan winter. He is going to a sunday school class at church and really likes that and is over all continuing to adjust so well.

Elisabeth-She is growing like a weed, and her hair is getting so long. She is chatting up a storm and I think sometimes she has skipped from one to thirteen. She loves playing with her brother and also bugging him whenever possible. She is my little dancing queen and it has been so fun to watch her grow.

Overall our family is doing really well. Both children are very well attached and it is amazing to see how far they have come in the last 8 months (wow I still can't believe they have been home that long!) We are not afraid to leave them anymore to go on a quick date (though that has not happened much anyway:) And are finding that life is balancing out a little more. Both children are such a joy and we feel blessed every day that they are home. There is so much I would like to share but will have to wait for some more down time.

I am not sure what I am going to do with our blog, I hope to keep it up but would enjoy comments from anyone who may still be checking in! Have a wonderful day!

Laura
