Our Family

Destiny turned ten last month, Samantha and Sabrina will be five next week, and Michael will be seventeen next month.  I can't believe how fast our children are growing.  This morning, Amelia reached for me for the first time.  I just teared up immediately.  My little "Frankie Girl" is getting so big.  She's a chunky monkey.  We bought a small pool at the beginning of the summer and the girls have pretty much lived in it.  I rarely come home from work when they are not swimming.  Samantha and Sabrina have both learned to really swim this summer.  They turn flips in the air and underwater.  Destiny has been a fish since she was about four.  Amelia will let you dunk her under the water.  If you just quickly put her under and pull her right back up, she acts like she's about to freak out...shaking and then she starts laughing.  It's really funny to watch.  She loves playing in the pool with her big sisters. 

Peyton has been really busy at work.  The moving business has really picked up this summer.  It's a blessings, but I really miss him on the weekends.  He's still managing to be home one day each weekend for the most part. 

I don't have much to say about DHL for the moment.  I moved into the Air Export role in December and I'm still not comfortable.  I'm beginning to be confident in my ability to handle export freight, which is amazing to me.  I just can't seem to get the buy in of my group yet.  I hope they will eventually realize that I really believe they can be the best AE group in the country and I'm only looking out for their best interest. It was really a big leap for me to move from the area manager role into a much more localized role.  I miss my old work life and my old contacts, but I'm making big strides every week.

I am going to go color with girls now.  We still have to paint our nails today and bake our brownies.  I made a lot of promises today that I need to keep.  Busy..busy....
