8 Weeks Left

Wow I can't believe I only have 8 weeks until we meet our little girl. I am getting really excited and can't wait to hold her. This has been a pretty uneventful pregnancy which is always nice. I am to the point where I can't sleep very well at night but I am not to the point of being totally uncomfortable.

Not much happening in our house. We are just pushing through our school. Got a late start this year with the move. Really did not start until Nov, so we are trying to just do one day at a time and not feel overwhelmed. I am going to try and do school up until I have the baby, we only have one snag that may cause us to take a break. My oldest has to have oral surgery and get a full new set of braces on the middle of March so we might take a couple of days off then so we can take care of her. She had braces already but they were removed to early with a tooth that never came up so we will be having surgery to pull the tooth up and then at the same time have her wisdom teeth pulled so I think she will need some days off. The lesson we have learned from this is to set our foot down when we feel something is not being done right. I knew those braces should not come off but the ortho told me it would be fine. Expensive lesson to learn but we are committed to taking care of every area of our children's lives, spiritual, physical, mental, etc.

Hopefully my next post won't take me 2 months to write. God Bless may you all have a Blessed Week.

Missing Nebraska

 A friend from Omaha sent me these pictures today and it brought back many fond memories of our days in Nebraska and Iowa. This top one is of Kharis sitting in the tire swing at our church. So thankful the Lord placed us there for a season. It was a wonderful church family and we miss them dearly.

This picture of Brecken is of her swimming at our dearest friends the Cherry's. They became family to us and we have many great memories of spending time with all of them. Can't wait for May when we will all be back together again.

This is a picture of Uriah sitting on our Pastor's lap. I think it was at a graduation but I am not sure. I just love this picture because this is who Pastor Larry was, a man who loved children. The children in the church would flock to him and he would never turn them away. Remind you of someone? Jesus loved the little children , well so did Pastor Larry.

Thanks Valerie for sharing. Missing all of you back in Iowa and Nebraska. Can't wait until May when we come to visit.


 

Happy 16th Birthday

I can't believe that 16 years ago today I gave birth to my first child. She was a little girl and mommy was so excited. She had thick black hair and big brown eyes. Her father and I were in awe. Well 16 years later we are still in awe. She is a beautiful young lady who loves the Lord and seeks to live her life according to His will. I am so blessed and so thankful to call her my daughter.


        Happy Birthday Emily. I love you and am so very proud of you!!!

We're Seeing Pink

We are happy to announce that these cute pink shoes will come in handy at our house. The Lord has blessed us with another little girl. She will be making her arrival sometime during the end of March beginning of April. We are all so excited to meet her.











 

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday Dad. Hope you have a great day and a great year. You are an amazing grandpa to all of your grandchildren. Loved this picture of you and your youngest grandchild (Uriah).

Here in Colorado

Well we have been here in Colorado for almost a month now. We are pretty much settled in and back to life. 2 weeks after we moved here we went on vacation for a little over a week. We are back from vacation and back to real life. Schooling, cleaning, laundry, playing, etc...

The children have settled in and seem to be adjusting well to their new home. We are trying to get ready for the Christmas season, but not really feeling it this year.

My oldest is turning 16 in 9 days. Where has the time gone. She is such a blessing and a help to her momma and her whole family.

Well that is all for now. I will try to blog more, but I am not even sure if there is anyone still out there.

It's Been A Long Time

I am not even sure if anyone still reads this blog. I have been wanting to blog but always feel like there is nothing to blog about.

Well things are definitely changing at our house. We are MOVING. Hubby got a great promotion so we are moving to Denver the end of October. We are busy, busy , busy getting everything ready but also very excited about this new adventure. I will keep you all posted with how things are going.
