Always something good

I new it wouldn't be long before I would have some material to work with. It's 10 after 9 and Caroline is outside letting her lightening bugs go. Grace peeks over the railing "MOMMY!" then accepts Steve's usual response that I went to the store and heads back to our room. This is a relaxing end to a hectic day. The kicker tonight was Mitchell. I took C & G to the neighbors and M joined us a bit later. He was in their backyard when we saw him run behind the shed and drag something out. It's seemed odd he wanted to practice pitching against the netted backstop but we let him go with it. He dragged it all the way across the yard and propped it against their fence, can you guess why? Yep the neighbor that we share has a pool and he was going to climb the netting to get over the 4 ft picket fence to get to that pool. Fortunately the net was torn on the bottom, so he took off his shoes to get better footing but then his toes got all caught up. We stood with amazement and I shook my head, thanking God we went with the 6th privacy fence. We have at least another year before we have to place a dome over the yard to keep him in.

Here I am starting my blog. I first had the idea in Dec of 2009 and in typical Jen fashion did not get around to it until now. I have so much to say and not enough people to listen so here I am. I will try not to bore you with the mundane but the Ivey life is rarely that. So many wonderful people have given to me & I hope to do the same with sharing our story.
