I need to do better......

So....I set up this blog so that family and friends could stay informed. It would help if I would update it more often. I promise I will try to do better.

So many things have taken place since my last blog. I (Karomy) have taken a new job. I am now the Acting Children's Minister at our church. It started out that I would be in charge of Vacation Bible School (no small task) and has developed into a great part time job overseeing the Children's ministries of our church. I work 2 days a week. We have a wonderful lady watching our kids. She comes to our house and keeps them and the kids just love her. That is more comforting that you could ever imagine!!

The kids are growing and changing every day. They are really starting to talk and converse with us in english. Madison's vocabulary is quite a bit more advanced than Jackson's, but we are sure he will catch up in time. They both find great joy in showing you where their different body parts are.....eyes, nose, hair, cheeks, etc., and they have great manners for being almost 2.

Since my last blog we have experienced lots of things. We made a trip to Oklahoma to see Dave's grandparents. This was the longest trip that the kids had been on in recent days (about 6 hours one way!). They did great! Grandma and Grandpa Page hadn't seen them since they were 6 weeks old. We also celebrated mother's day. We went to visit my family in Snyder for the weekend and were back home for church on Sunday. Dave surprised me with a wonderful video that he had made that included pictures of me with the kids from the time they were born until now. Yep....I cried like a baby. It's a beautiful keepsake that I will treasure forever!! We are currently making plans for Jackson and Madison's 2nd birthday party. We've been working in the yard and finishing up lots of things on the house.

I hope everyone reading this is satisfied to be a little more up to date with the Purkeys. I will get some new pictures up soon! I promise!!! Love to all!!!

It's about stinkin' time, woman! Does sound like you've been busy. Your new job sounds like a perfect fit for you! Do post some pics of the kiddos when you get time!

Hi!

I did a search on blogger for people with Plainview listed in their user profile... just for fun. (As if I didn't have anything better to do with my time - ha! Click on this link to see what I recently blogged about that sorta relates to this.)

"Anywho," I just wanted to say 'hi' because I've been to FBC Plv... nearly 20 years ago. (I graduated from PHS in 1989. At that time, all graduations were held at FBC. Don't know if they still do that.)

I was a member at Northside BC when I lived in Plainview.
