I had two little girls sitting on each side of me as I studied for a class right after I moved into a house (new for us) on the southside. Boy–When I think of it all, I think how stupid I was for trying to cram in everything at one time while they were young. AT least now, in this day and age, you can work on the computer and keep up with things which wasn’t there when my children were growing up. Best wishes to you and your family. I am sure Joel will love those home cooked meals and “Peanut” will love it too. With best wishes, Aunt Joy and Uncle Mike

Oh, Erin and Joel-I am so happy about this very important decision you have made and I don’t think you will regret it.I know there will no doubt be difficult times but hang in there the Lord is on your side and the prayers of us all.The sweet and precious years ahead will be worth it.And when she starts school perhaps you take a part-time job and in the meantime you have your cake decorating and maybe something you can do on the computer.
I am so anxious to see you all and hope it will be soon.So until we meet again , know my love and prayers are for the 3 of you.

I stayed home when my firstborn came along and then her sister came 15 months later. I loved being home with them and then my husband left us when the baby was just six months old. I was scared to death to leave them to go back to work but there was no other choice. And then when my most precious hubby and I got married, a year later, after hearing Dr. Vines preach a sermon about how a working mother only realizes 10% of her salary after paying for daycare, parking, gas, lunches out, working clothes etc., after church most wonderful husband told me to give my notice the next day. And I did. Best decision ever. Nobody can take better care of Ruthie than her mommy!! She is going to be blessed by having you there to feed her lunch, play with her, kiss her boo boo’s and be her teacher. Job well done Erin.

You’re gonna love having an afternoon walk with friends, meeting moms at the playground, the whole summer swimming with your girl, not having to take a day off to do a doc visit, having only one schedule to coordinate for visits to the Grands, sleeping in on Mondays, fewer colds, and who knows…maybe you’ll still have your own business keeping the books for a few companies or decorating cakes. The world is your oyster :-)
