Halterman Happenings: Good Mail!

Good Mail!

Since we finally got out of the house, today, I decided that it was time to get the mail, and when I did, I found a very pleasant surprise. I was the recipient of "Good Mail!"

I have seen good mail before on other sites, but hadn't been involved before, so I had to get the back story, here.

Anyway, Becky knew that Barry has been gone an awful lot lately, so she sent me a "my husbands out of town survival kit", with all of he fun things you see here. Honestly, I think my favorite part of the package are the little post-it notes with messages, like "You ARE a good mother!", and "Breathe!" How did she know I would be needing those reminders so much, about now?

THANK YOU, BECKY! You really made my day! And sometime, when I'm not so overwhelmed remembering to breathe and all, I will have to pay it forward!

Stella said...: What a fun idea. good mail should be sent more often. I'm glad my husband doesn't travel with his job. I can barely stand a night out with the girls anymore. Maybe that's because I waited so long for him, I just can't stand to not be with him!; 12:45 PM
Jeff and Ashleigh said...: Hello Halterman family. That trip looks like a blast. I saw your pics with your new baby. She is so cute! Sarah recognized Kira from her picture and says she likes her. Cute blog!; 10:59 AM

Meet the Haltermans

2011 finds us as a family of six and as busy and crazy as ever. Barry continues working at Clear Creek Associates, which we consider to be a tremendous blessing, given the current state of the economy. Barry is serving in the Stake Young Men's Presidency, and I am in the ward Primary Presidency at church. Besides being busy with a new baby and his brother and sisters, I am teaching Let's Play Music Classes, and blogging about my creative endeavors at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com. Kira (9) is enjoying drama club this year. She has read more books thank I probably have in my life. She's learning the keyboard quickly in music class. She was asked to give a speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building at her school. Trenton (6) is adjusting to 1st grade and homework. He has suddenly become an excellent reader. He has a gift for music, but not a gift for following directions. *sigh* He still plans on being a scientist and is full of all the imagination and energy that a 6 year old can have. Tessa (3) has recently taken up hairstyling. She is responsible for the short hair do she is sporting now. She loves preschool, dance class, and attending music class (even though she isn't old enough). She's a little computer addict and will play Dora all day, if we let her. She's quite the artist on paper and on walls. She likes to write "T's" for Tessa on everything. She is a sweet big sister to Alec. Alec (8 mos.) is a mover and a shaker! He is exhibiting the same determination as his siblings in learning to get around. He is really a delightful baby! My only complaint is that sleeping is at the bottom of his priority list. He loves people and makes friends wherever we go.
