Time keeps marching on at a nice quick pace! March sounded so far away, and yet here it is! March was holding a couple things for us.....like, the last weeks of Joseph's job, and the last month to get everything ready and organized before we head to Brazil. We've been booking things for Brazil the last little bit, and it has started to become real to me. I am so excited to go. I do want to give a HUGE thank you to everyone that is helping with our children. Joseph's sisters and my mom, and some neighbors are sharing this wonderful challenge! It almost reminds me of organizing babysitters for when I was going to school. Whew!!
I am also reading the "green dragon". That's what Joseph called the Portuguese textbook from the MTC. He has been wondering how to get one for me because he says it's the best book to help learn the language. Well he was making his rounds in the DI's when he found a "green dragon" ! He was so excited. So now....I am in learning mode!
For an update on Joseph......his last day is March 13th. How fitting,....Friday the 13th! He's been sending out resumes and all that jazz. But isn't too stressed yet because we will be gone for almost a month before he can start anywhere. But hopefully during this pause in time he is able to think about what he really wants to do. He says if anyone has some leads let him know! I am so proud of Joseph and thankful for him. He is an amazing person, husband, father etc. He has been a wonderful provider for our family. Love him!!!!
Ali's birthday is also this month. She will be 4. I will hopefully put together a birthday post later in the month. 
I have been getting into "Parenting with Love and Logic". My mom had a workbook for the class 10 years ago I think. But the concepts of this "program" are awesome and I'm trying to learn them and practice them so that I can feel like I can control my children. I've been struggling with the feeling of "why have more children if I can't manage the one's I have?" It's a very frustrating and conflicting feeling. So I am trying this parenting concept to see if that will help me help them. It'll take practice though.
There ya have it.....there it is.
