Have you ever been this busy

Last Thursday I got up at 5:30 as I usually do every weekday. I got Rob up and off to work. At 6:00 I got Logan up and off to school. At 6:30 I took a shower and got myself ready for the day. At 7:00 I made two loaves of banana bread for MOPS and sat down to read a verse and then get some very important CEF work done. At 7:45 I got the kids up and dressed and fed, while doing this I put my own shoes and socks on. At 8:20 I put the kids in the car came back in the house to get my keys and turn off lights then it happened. I stepped on my shoe lace and it came untied, As I bent down to retie my shoe I noticed something odd. I had two different shoes on. I quickly switched one shoe with the right one and laughed the whole way to MOPS. I just love days like these, they help me to remember to laugh and be joyful for all that God has blessed me with.

Here's a quote from Colton "There's too many bugs here."

News News News

We have been in a whirlwind here at our house. Someone is always sick. Lizzy has had double ear infections 2 months in a row. Now she, Colton and Alainna all have RSV. Lizzy and Colton are on Anitbiotics and they all are slowing getting better.
This weekend we mad an offer on another house. We didn't get our hopes up. We've made about 9 offers the last year and all of them were not accepted. But the owners of this house accepted our offer. They sign the papers to accept hopefully today. They are a Christian family who own their home outright so they were able to take a lower offer, one we could afford. Its a four bedroom home, its on the small side but the yard is huge and beautiful. There is a small sitting room next to the bedroom that isn't big enough to be considered a bedroom but big enough for a nursery for when the new baby comes. The house is in Kent on the East Hill. Its an hour closer to Rob's work. We are so excited.
Yes that's right, more news. I'm 10 1/2 weeks pregnant. Because I got pregnant right away after Timothy my body's hormones never went down so I haven't been sick at all. very slight nausea a couple of afternoons but nothing a piece of yellow cheese couldn't fix. If you have morning sickness try yellow cheese, works great. One bad thing about being pregnant so fast is that my Uturus never went down, so the baby has too much room right now and can move around a lot. That's how we lost Timothy. So please pray that the baby will be safe. We tried to keep it a secret but I'm showing a lot. So we will be expecting to have number 6 on September 11, 2010. I'll post pictures of the home later.

Downword spiral or Slump?

Lately I have been in a slump. Some people would says its depression but I don't think so, I have even called it that but I still get up and enjoy my kids. I cannot wait for summer. I need to be out of this house. We have been so sick lately that we have made it to church only once in the last two months. I have no physical fellowship with other believers except at MOPS which is not often enough. I am without a fellow Believer for mostly 24 days a month. I do talk to my dear friend Liz often during the week. But I need to BE with people who love the Lord, I need to be encouraged face to face. I have a lot of things going on in my personal life that need prayer and support. Whether I share these things or not I just need to know that God's people are there.
So, on the next nice day. If you don't have plans let's take our children to the zoo. I'm not talking to anyone in particular but to everyone. If you feel the same blah from the rain and the sickness of winter then lets find a day and get out of the house. Even if you don't have kids you can come. I think I just need to laugh with other moms, watch my children make friends and just fellowship with other Believers.
Does this sound like fun? It does to me.

Tired of being sick

This has been the worst winter for us. We have all had everything that is going around except H1N1. I have barely made it to do things such as grocery shop or running the errands for CEF and to do CEF training. We have had colds, chills, soar throats, body aches, stomach flues, Lizzy has had 4 mollers coming through and the list goes on. I think we have been sick for 3 months strait. Right now I'm writing this while I have another stomach flu or some sort of bug, Alainna and Rob have it as well. I really miss church. If you ever think of it could you pray that we would be well enough to attend church more than just one Sunday every 4 or 5 weeks. My attitude is not that great when I miss church this much and there are days when one of us is so sick that I can't get any time in with the Lord.
Dear Heavenly Father, Please heal each one of my family members. Make us well so we can enjoy time with you and with other believers. In Jesus Name Amen.
