Mounds of Joy: A little about MaryJo

Okay so I get to talk about MaryJo now. She has a new part time job (working in a library) while Brandon is at school. Her boss knows that we are trying to adopt another baby and that she will quit when we get a new little baby. Every morning they have breakfast together before she goes to work and him off to school. She is a wonderful mom! She’s one of a kind. She has more patience than I thought possible. Brandon absolutely loves his “momma”. I tell people all the time that Brandon is the way he is because of his mom. He’s five, but has said “please” and “thank you” since he could talk. He loves to say prayer whether it’s dinner or bedtime and blesses everyone (sometimes even the food). She likes our house neat and clean, but doesn’t fuss if it isn’t perfect. She’s a good teacher, a little shy, but a great mom!

MaryJo loves to draw, paint, cross stitch, work on the scrap book and garden. I went through all the pictures and I couldn't find one of any of her cross stiching. I think I may have to take a couple of pictures and add them later.

All three of us love to ride our bikes, swim, ice skate and roller skate together. This summer we are going to go camping together. Some of her favorite things are baking (lucky for me!), gardening, and amusement parks. She also likes to read-I mean really likes to read and Branodn is following in her foot steps. Our house is full of books; her books and his books (for someone who is only five, he has a lot of books too!).

MaryJo has an Associate of Science Degree in General Education and has worked for an Amusement Park, Community College Library (that’s where we met) and Distance Education. She has worked for several retail stores and even an animal vet hospital.
