Its been way too long!

So sorry friends! It has been really crazy around here. Let me do my best to catch you all up to speed.

Right before Thanksgiving we received a letter from a woman looking for her husband's father. After checking the information and confirming that it was in fact Jeff's son from his first marriage we started building a relationship with his son, Jeff Jr. Sadly, there will be no happy reunion just yet because Jeff Jr. is in prison but we still have contact with him and things are going great. We have met his wife and his children (all 3 of them) Hopefully he will be released in July and will be coming out here to live closer to us.

My kids are great! Everyone is so thrilled about having a big brother and nieces and nephews. Everyone is doing good in school. Justin is having some dificulties focusing but we are working on figuring out how to help him.

Jeff Sr is still doing great. He is still putting up with my crankiness and the kids' unruliness LOL. Although he has been a little worried lately about his job being that the plant is laying off more then 1400 employees this month. he has been actively looking for another job and has a few good opportunities just in case. Because of this lay off I am probably out of a job too. I am not sure if Jackie's parents are going to be needing me anymore or not. I guess I will find out Monday and we will just take it one day at a time.

Yesturday, another huge event happened. We got a phone call from who I thought was someone that Jeff jr knows but I was wrong and it turned out to be jeff Sr's daughter from his first marriage. She found out that Jeff Jr has been talking to their dad and she got the phone number and now she wants to be a part of his life again too. So now we have her and her son to look forward to getting to know better. Imagine all the family get togethers! Imagine the Christmas shopping this coming Christmas! (Yikes!)
