Being Brannon: Answered Prayers

The Brannons have some new adventures in the works! First of all, Mark started a new job this week with Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth. Yay! Enterprise was a blessing when it came along and it really taught Mark a ton about the business world, but the stress and long hours were starting to take their toll. This new job is SUCH an answered prayer because it means a much more family-friendly schedule! That means, however, we are in the market for a new vehicle. Thanks to Pawpaw Charlie for lending us his truck til we find what we want!

Another answered prayer is Hannah Smith! She is another friend from church and has volunteered to keep Nash once Spanky's day-care closes down. Our good friend and owner of Spanky's, Jill, is having baby #2 in November and then moving to Italy in the spring. Jill has taken care of Nash since he was 3 months old and has loved him like he is her own. We are so sad they are leaving, but excited for their new adventures! We will certainly miss Jill and we were so anxious about finding someone who will take care of Nash as well as she has. That's when Hannah volunteered - phew! Such a relief to have someone else we trust implicitly! Hannah will keep him at her home with her her her 2 girls on Tuesdays and he will go to Mother's Day Out at McKinney Bible (where Hannah works part-time) on Thursdays and then go home with Hannah til we get off work. I'm really excited about the MDO too - it will be good for Nash! I'm just wondering how the sleeping on a mat thing is going to go.

We went to the lake house for some R & R before Mark started his new job and it was, as always, fabulous. Below are some pictures of the lake and some recent ones of our not-so-little Little Man.

We went to the zoo last week with Stephanie. It was the first day below 90 in months and it was beautiful! However, I think that tiger wanted a snack!
