The Overdue Update

I wonder if most of us that starts these blogs feel a little weird updating people on our lives -- I mean does any one really want to know. But I love visiting my friends blogs and getting updates on whose pregnant, whose getting married, and what their kids are getting themselves into. Some here is the Ping's update.
Layla is half way through kindergarten which doesn't seem possible. She is learning so fast that I am realizing I have to brush up on some of my vocab. She wants to know what every word means and how to spell it. Jason and I are resolved to put God first in our finances and time. God has been blessing those efforts and we are so happy in all that He has provided and the many prayers He has answered. We are pumped up for summer to start to get back to porch sitting, BBQs, and bike rides. We are also still chugging along on trying to be debt free. I also recently started teaching myself how to sew thanks to my grandpa giving me my grandmother's sewing machine. I have been teaching Layla the basics. We also just revamped our basement to make it more liveable. It is now used as an office and sewing room. I have been prondering how I can impact our community, especially parents and kids and so may be starting to teach parenting classes in collaberation with my job and by blogging advice to parents on another site. We feel truly blessed and are excited to see what all God has in store for us.
