Patrick and Jamie Froh Family: Change . . .

Morning!!

Like usual, we were busy the past few days! There has been a lot going on lately, but we hope that things will start to slow down a bit in the upcoming weeks. It is hard to believe that the summer is coming to an end already. Pat ran into a store yesterday and came out to tell me that there were Christmas decorations up. . . .really, is that necessary? At the start of summer I was faced with a difficult decision regarding my career. Do I keep my job and continue to travel? Do I find a new job? Do I stay home and raise Maddie? Well, Pat and I made the decision for me to stay home and enjoy the summer with her. As I look back on that, that was the best decision I have ever made. It was definitely a change for me. . . .but a change for the better. Now that the summer is wrapping up, we have decided to make yet another change. . . .I will be heading back to work - part-time. Why? There are a lot of reasons for it. I accepted a part-time sales position with the YMCA. By taking on this role, this will open up a lot of opportunities for all 3 of us. 1) Maddie is allowed to come to work with me and play in the kids center. It will be nice for her to hang out with other kids for a few hours. 2) The grandma's are chomping at the bit to babysit her when I work longer shifts 3) It will allow me to get some adult interaction and work in an environment that I am very passionate about. 4) Pat will get the chance to enjoy more one on one time with his favorite little lady. This is a win-win situation for all involved! The next few weeks will be nutty as I need to get re-certified in CPR/First-Aid, etc, but we will make it through like we always do! I officially accepted the position last week, so the weekend was spent celebrating and relaxing!

Almost 6 months old already - wow!
