Life will go on....i'm told

This past week has been one of the most stressful weeks of my life. Tuesday morning, not too long after Caleb got home from working night shift the superintendent of the paper machine he works on called. I told him Caleb was sleeping and he asked me wake him up because he had something really important to talk to him about. The paper machine that Caleb works on is not owned by the paper mill, they just have a contract with another company to use it and the contract is going to expire in October and so on Monday they were in negotiations on a new contract and apparently, nobody wanted to negotiate, so Calebs machine is being shut down, and taken out of the mill....thus eliminating Calebs job.
I don't know if you can comprehend the stress that hit us at that moment....for a few days we didn't know how long Caleb would have a job, if he had one at all! So now we are playing the waiting game, from what his union has come down and told people, Caleb should have a job at another place in the paper mill but we will have to take a pay cut....but we should at least have a job. But now, Caleb is thinking about leaving the mill and going down to Phoenix to do something else because he thinks the paper mill is not far away from completely shutting down.


ANYWAY....on much happier note, here are some pics of the boys, I'm not sure why Luke had to pull his pants down to 'feed the cows' but thats just what I saw when I went looking for him! And our sweet little Ryan, is such a good sleeper. For the first week after we brought him home he would probably sleep 23 hours of the day! Even now he is only waking up 1 or 2 times a night, which is such a nice change! We are so blessed with the 2 sweet boys we have!
