Clan Maxwell

Brandon is Scottish in heritage. Being that I am Anglo/Irish Indian on my momma's side, we embrace the anglophile connection we share. In Scotland, families are divided into clans. Inside each clan are several different families i.e. several different last names. They are still apart of the Clan even though the name is different because they fall under the protection of the Laird of the Clan. How perfect is this. In this house we have 3 different last names, but we all fall under the protection of Brandon. He is our Laird. We are Clan Maxwell.

Here's a quick update on where every body's been over the past .... WOW! 8 MONTHS!

We bought a house! The kids and I left rural central Indiana and moved to the near east side of Indianapolis about 7 minutes from downtown. It's been an adjustment and there are times that I love the convenience of it. Then there are times I having corn fields for as far as the eye can see.

Brandon is working full time for Lowe's as a delivery driver. I'm still in school until February. Emma is in the eighth grade and we have started touring high schools (blech blech blech). Lily is living at her dad's right now. She really didn't want to make the move to Indianapolis, so in July she moved in with him in the suburb of Greenfield. Belle is  Belle. She hasn't changed much...gotten taller. She still sings everywhere and thinks if she can't see you than you can't hear her....even at school! NiNi (who was laid off 6 months after me) went back to school at IUPUI. She's finishing up her first semester back. The best part about that (other than her following her dreams and all)? IUPUI is only 10 minutes from ma new place :)

That's a recap in a super quick nutshell...Just to get ya up to speed...

And Sarah, I'm glad to be back too! Thanks, Sweet Girl and congrats on the new cupcake!
