We are home, with good news abound!

So we got home last Thursday, we have recovered and the spoiled children are realizing we didn't pack their grandparents in the suit cases so "come back to reality" it's setting in nicely...

So we also came back to news that I GOT THE JOB at the school, I'm still nervous if I am cut out for this type of thing but I'm feeling good about it and really I needed to find something because financially things aren't so great in the Fox home... they have cut Ben's overtime to almost nothing so this job will help us get our heads above water.. ALSO, I'm happy to announce Ben got a paid position COACHING SOCCER at the middle school, Last year was SUCH a disaster for Brad that he had talked about volunteering for this up coming soccer season, when Brad brought home the notice saying he was signed up for next fall etc. etc. it also said they were looking for a new coach, We kind of thought it was a Volunteer position but that's what Ben was thinking anyway he e-mailed the asst principal (and athletic director for the school) he wanted to meet him in person; he did and immediately was offered a CONTRACT! the money isn't the reason he's doing it BUT it will definitely help fray the cost of not picking up ANY overtime (if there was any to begin with) so he can be at the soccer field after school EVERYDAY... he will be the "B Team" (Jr. Varsity) coach, there's no guarantees he will even be coaching Brad (Brad kind of hopes he'll make the A team) but regardless he's happy and excited for this new adventure..

So that's all the happenings at the fox home we had "Old Home Day" last sat and once again the Kayaking company offered free rides, we decided to skip the fireworks this year as they didn't even start until 9:30 and Brad had just come home from Scout camp and we all were beat but I guess we missed quite a show the fireworks barge caught on fire and was a huge ball of flame.. the kids were bummed we missed it ha!

so that's all I have for now...
