*I borrowed this from Terah since I really need to be on here!*
1.) I'm really looking forward to having another boy. I absolutly adore having a daughter but boys (at least my boys) are so much easier than Mattea has been. Oh, his name will be Cayd Aaron.
2.) I'm amazed that God has helped me organize me time. Our dishwasher is broken and we won't be getting another quite yet. (You know, the whole pay cash for it thing.) I now have to keep up with washing dishes, cooking everything from scratch (think cream of mushroom/chicken/celery soups for baking), doing one load of laundry a day, and schooling. You know what though? It totally works and I can only lift my eyes to heaven and praise God.
3.) We are putting our house on the market in January or so. God is calling us to move to Idaho and so having a house to sell when the time comes to move will be just one less thing to worry about. I'm praying since we operate on God's economy rather than man's, that things will go smoothly. Never been a seller before and its pretty scary!
4.) We haven't been to church in awhile because Buddy wanted us to avoid getting sick. Its working but I sure miss the fellowship! It was tough to bite my tongue on that one and submit to my husband, although I knew and understood his reasoning behind it. In all honesty though, we have enjoyed being homebodies!
5.) I realised yesterday that I'm 20 days behind with Aidan in ABeka. Oops. He doesn't care and I know we will catch up somehow but it matters to me, just a little. He is doing great though. He loves school.
6.) They opened a new sushi place here in Gadsden and we love it!!! The kids are so happy, especially Aidan. Its funny how something like that will make me like it here a little bit more.
7.) Just realised as I was leaning back in exasperation because I'm only on #7 and can't think of ANYTHING else to say, that there are cobwebs on my ceiling. Just when I was feeling accomplished!
8.) Loves it when my kids can tell when I'm having a moment and tell me to simply "pray about it." God love 'em for that! Its always perfectly timed.
9.) Love that our measly little winter seems to be finally upon us. Sort of. I'm looking forward to decorating this year. Zane was in everything last year so this year its ON!
10.) Pheww! Thank goodness! I am trying to remember to affirm my husband everyday. Yesterday it was to tell him how much I appreciate being able to stay home with my children rather than have to work. I take it for granted sometimes and I'm really trying not to!

So nice to hear from you! Man, I can't believe you're almost half way to having your baby!! Are you feeling much better these days?
Sushi?? Your kids?? WEIRD! I can't imagine my kids eating anything there, let alone me! When I make fish I call it chicken just so my kids will eat it, then they say, "Mama, this chicken doesn't taste very good." (;
You guys must stick to the Dave Ramsey cash only really well! I think I'd draw the line on that one! Dishwwashers are a must!
So you guys are thinkin Idaho huh?! That neat! I bet your family is happy about that!
Glad to hear everything is going well!
Shea! So good to hear from you. Its awesome and encouraging to hear you giving God the glory in your daily life...I find that when I am doing that with all the little things Im given such a thankfulness and joy going about our day.
Yay for sushi! Our kids are sushi addicted...the last time we went, Jayde ate more than Jack and I- and Levi wasnt far behind. She even eats wasabi! Crazy girl.
Thats exciting that you guys are planning a move to ID. We are thinking of buying an investment property there in the next couple of months while our dollar is high. The problem is that once we own a house there, it might be tempting to move back! :)
Good to see you on blogger! And thanks for your prayers and encouraging comments on my blog.
One of the things I love about moving back is that I'm going back to friends...with kids!! Its awesome! I'm looking foward to meeting everyone's kiddos and hanging out as families. :)
K~I can't wait to meet you and your kids...I PRAY you move too!!
S~Def feeling better. Just keeping up, which is really all that matters.
Shea! So excited to hear about your little guy...and that you're feeling better..and that you're moving back! (: We bought property and decided to move/build when I was pregnant with the twins. Why is that everything always happens all at once? I'll be praying that the timing is perfect for you guys.
I think it's awesome your kids like sushi. While I'm trying really hard to raise kids that are "foodies", I'm not sure I could handle sushi. I can't even get the stuff down when it's cooked.(:
Yay for boys! So far, none of my kids are easier than the others. Avril is by far the least content baby. Rowan was extremely easy the first year. I think that was God's gift to me since we also bought a house and started remodeling it when I was eight months pregnant with him. God knew we would be moving into a motorhome for six months. I believe that's why Rowan was so pleasant that first year. Then he turned one and he started getting grouchy. Now it seems to be hit or miss for happy days.
Adam wasn't a hard baby once we figured out the dairy thing. He was pretty happy. And he stayed pretty much the same, temperment wise as he got older. Then he got mobile...well I have horror stories of that kid over the last few years. My family just laughs because they all predicted that my kiddos would be a handful.
Anyway...
That's exciting that you are moving to Idaho! Are you going to be in our neck of the woods? Or further south?
Yeah, you guys and Jack and Karina with the sushi thing...ew! I probably shoudn't knock it before I try it but I don't wanna try it! =)
I am sooo glad I have a dishwasher! When we lived in the motorhome I didn't have a dishwasher or a washing machine & dryer. I went to my mom's once a week to do laundry. It was a pain! And the sink in there was tiiiiiiny! I could literally only wash one dish at a time. Ahhhh the memories.
Good job on the affirming your hubby thing! I need to do that much better than I do. I'm a griper. Unfortunately Jay gets the brunt of this. (Hey! No laughing girls! You may think you hear it all but you don't. I am much worse about it with Jay.) Poor Jay. God has been convicting me of this so hard lately. The kids are starting to do it. A lot. And I realized that I have nothing to gripe about. God has given us so much and Salvation alone is enough to be grateful for every day. I'm feeling inspired by you to do the same, not only for my husband, but for God and all the others I am around. So, thanks! =)
Homeschooling is hard! I started Adam on preschool stuff and we are waaaaay behind. Of course I didn't start until this week due to finances. So don't feel too bad about being behind. I am two months behind!
Congrats on the little guy. I will pray extremely hard that he does not surpass the nine pound range.Let me tell you, not fun. How big are your babies?
