The Jack's? Or the Van Orman's

I know many of you are probably wondering if we got rid of John and Elise and have turned into a Jack-Only family because of the pictures but i want to confirm that.....we haven't. John and i do still exsist and John is as busy as ever. I think i'm more excited than anyone that this semester is almost over, John's got all his end-of-semester stuff due soon and he's stressed. He's also been Job Hunting and that has finally started to seem worthwhile. Me? I've just been takin care of my little boy, feeding, changing, holding...ya know. That kind of thing. Also i've been reading the Children of the Promise series and i actually have really enjoyed learning more about WWII. There are some things i never remember learning about and that is one of them. Other than that i go walking all the time and hang out with my friend Melissa...good times.

The holidays are coming up and because we're in job transitions i'm not sure we'll be able to go home to our families for them, we might get to have our own little christmas just the three of us :) I'm actually sort of excited about that, Jack's first Christmas....i wonder if he's been a good enough boy to have santa come... but maybe we'll still be able to make it to our famillies. Who knows.

John takes such good care of us and i'm so grateful for him. I always wanted to be able to stay home and take care of my kids and right now John's finding a way to make that possible, i'm so happy. I can't imagine leaving Jack for more than a little bit at a time.

Life is good. i do feel so blessed all the time to have such wonderful people to call my family.

Time out... i just almost burnt my house down. whew. Now that that is under control and your up to date on th e rest of us, wouldn't you just like to see the latest picture of Jack? You would? Oh good, here he is :)
