Levi's first trip to the Dentist

Levi had his first trip to the dentist a few weeks ago. He has waited for this day for a long time. Every time we go he asks is it my turn mommy. We wanted to wait until he was 3 so that he would sit still.

He did awesome listening to instructions and sitting still. The biggest problem we had was getting him to stop talking long enough so they could clean and examine his teeth. Not sure when my little boy decided to grow up, but I guess that happens. They don't stay babies for ever.

This is the new Levi after being at the dentist, don't you just love his green teeth.

Not much to say

Wow I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. Everything went smoothly on the closing of the house and we made arrangements for us to stay in the house until May 1st. So our life has not really changed that much yet. We are beginning to look at houses closer to Daddy's work for the time being. He is still looking for another job and we are just waiting on the Lord to show us what direction he wants us to go. It has been a little up and down the past few months. We thought for sure Dad would get the job that is his dream job. Made it all the way to the last interview and then found out a week later that he was # 6 and there were 5 positions. Heartbreaking to say the least. We are trying to be still and listen tot he Lord because we were sure this is where he was leading us. We are thankful that Daddy has a job and we will just wait and see what happens next.

So that is about all that has been happening in our neck of the woods.

We had a birthday a couple of days ago. #5 turned 8 and she will be taking horse lessons for her birthday. Grandparents are visiting for her birthday and the soon to be 1 year old birthday. I will try to post some pictures and try to blog more often.

SOLD

The first thing 2012 has brought us is a sold house. Well we officially got the offer in 2011 but everything is going smoothly so we have the sold sign and it is official we are moving.

Now the interesting part is, where to. Please be in prayer for our family as we travel into this adventure not really sure where we will be. We should have some more news in a bout a month and then I will let you all know. Scary but also exciting.

2012 What will it Bring?

I can't believe it is 2012. Where has this last year gone?

It was an exciting year for our family. The Lord blessed our family with another healthy little boy to love, Uriah Beau joined our family on March 3rd and what joyous day that was.

Daddy graduated in May with honors and the search for a new career began. Still searching but praying we are closer and that there will be a possible job change in the future.

Our oldest daughter began her first year of High school this year. Very exciting for all of us . We have been homeschooling from the very beginning and have enjoyed the benefits of teaching our children.

The end of the year brought us some exciting news so hopefully in a few more weeks I can share what that news is. For now please be praying that Lord continues to work out all the details and that we would praise Him with whatever answer we receive.

Happy New Year May the Lord be first and foremost in your life.

An Early Christmas Present.

This weekend we received an early Christmas present and we are all very excited. No I am not pregnant.
We can't wait to share the news with everyone, but we will not be sharing for a couple of months.
We have a few details that need to still fall into place but when everything comes together I will share all the exciting details.

Merry Christmas!!!

Happy 15th Birthday Emily

Emily, hope you have a great birthday and a great year. I have enjoyed watching you this year grow in your faith. You have been such a "Bright Light" to many girls. Continue listening to the Lord and follow his way and you will be blessed. I love you Emily and I am so very proud of you.

"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and

praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16

Reaghan's Baptisim

Nov. 6th 2011 was a very special day for our family. The Pastor had announced at church a couple of weeks earlier that if anyone was interested in being baptised then they needed to come and talk to him. Reaghan was so excited she had been waiting for this time and now it was drawing near. We told her you have to talk to the Pastor and also share your testimony in front of the congregation. Let me tell you if you know Reaghan this was going to be a huge wall fro her to climb, but she did it and as a mother I have to say I was very proud of her. She conquered one of her fears. All because she wanted to be obedient to the Lords call to profess her Faith publicly. Here she is listening as the Pastor is asking her to share her testimony, I could feel her fear.

Here is a picture of Daddy praying for her before the "dunking" as dad has phrased it.

She is ready.

No turning back, No turning back.
