  • Kiddie update....


    Jadrian....My little Miracle




     
    Karilee is my BIG helper. She's awesome with Jadrian, and he seems to love being bounced around by her!

    Derek turned 2!!

    So  my life is super busy, thus the rare time for xanga. But I still love reading all your updates whenever they show up in my email! So keep on blogging, I l.o.v.e. hearing from my friends!!

    Steve is gone for the wk.end to a Wild at Heart mens retreat in CO. It's lonely here without him, but I'm so so happy he could go. He deserved this time of refreshment and enjoying th ewild with other men. So I'm happy to hold down the fort while he's gone. Arla & Colleen....bless you for driving 8 hrs to be with me n the kiddies. It was sweet an drefreshing to be together, and all the girtlie fun was an added bonus! Love you!!

    Jadrian keeps filling our home with cheer. Each little step of progress brings great joy. His smiles melt your heart. His biggest issue right now is gaining weight. But it'll come, in the meantime, I'm enjoyin ghaving a tiny baby. After all, I always did love the newborn stage! :)
    Karilee & Derek are growin up so fast. At just four, Karilee amazes us with all the letters and sounds she has learned. I really think I could teach her to read if I had the time.


    Derek eating bbq wings! (and yes...he still has his PJ's on which happens when I'm really busy!)

  • Just a Few Random Thoughts....

    * Six more weeks till baby dear is "due". Although I'm hoping it will be only four.....(wishful sigh..)
    * I can hardly wait to spend Christmas in Ohio and to see our dear freinds again.
    * I'm so excited about wrapping the Christmas gifts I got. I can just see the delighted faces of the receiver....it dosent really matter how small the gift might be....its all the love that goes with it that feels so warm and delightful!!!
    * I have a whole bunch of scrap booking I want to get done before baby arrives. What a shame that this includes starting Derek's baby album..and he's almost two! Last night Steve & I were up till late choosing all the pictures we need to get developed that have collected on the computer over the last year. One down side of a digital camera, at least for us, we dont do well in getting them developed as fast as we take them. But now that we are up to date I'm PLANNING to stay organized with it. Anyway, we had lots of fun looking over the pictures from the past year and being amazed at what all happened....how much the kids grew etc.
    *I'm planning to get together with a freind tomorrow ot make chocolates.  Maybe I will try to convince myself that they really arnt good...so I hopefuly wont eat too many I'm feeling plenty large the way it is
    * talking about LARGE...I can hardly bend over anymore ....rolling over in bed takes four grunting manuevers....and I'll spare you of any more details. It could make a lengthy list. I can hardly wait to shrink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    * I'm so thankful the sun is shining today. Yesterday is was dark and rainy all day.
    * So much is happening in our lives right now....Sometimes the journey is glorious and sometimes it scares me to death. But I'm glad God is not predictable, and I never want to live in a box again. Even though this means sometimes I'm scared of what might be around the next bend.
    * I think I have the most wonderful man in the world and I'm so proud of who he's becoming!! Oh, and I l.o.v.e. --as in absolutly LOVE... how it feels to me as a women to be fought for, protected and chereished by a REAl man!! it makes me come alive!!!!!!!!!
    * I love John & Staci Eldriges books. They have been such a blessing to us.
    *I am slowly making a stock pile of frozen meals to have on hand for after the baby comes. Feels good to feel prepard.
    * I'm so happy for John & Rosa...and so excited to have a wedding to look forward to!!

  • Thought For The Day...

    “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
    ----from A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson.
