Please keep me and my family in your prayers. The last few days have been very hard on us all. Todd got home safely. So that is good Maya is still in Tx with her father she wants to live there now and not here so she did not come home. This has been hard on the whole family so that is why I have not posted. Please just pray for us that Gods will , would be done. Thank you. |

So Todd had
his interviews yesterday, they went really well. But after he had time to think
and pray about it he does not think that this job is for him. The pay is great
the location is great, But the time he would be away from us would be a lot. He
would be on the road 50% of the time. He was in the Navy and says he spent enough
time away from family then and does not want to do it again. So if they call
him back he will turn them down, all the pay in the world is not worth being
away from family. Next week he
goes on a different interview. This one is in Ohio too; Delaware and he would
not have to be spending time on the road away from us. This is the one both
Todd and I have been having really good feelings about. We found a church there
and we have also found a home all we need now is Todd to get a job there. It
would be a job that Todd has been wanting for awhile now. We just need
to put it all in Gods hands. Todd getting the job or not is all up to God, Gods
will for us is prefect. Even if is
may not be what we think we want at the time. Todd is
coming home tonight, he will be here around 9:30 cant wait to see him. Maya is coming home from Texas tonight too
she will be here just a little bit earlier then Todd, she seemed to have a good
time in Texas with her father. |

Ian
is almost done with 1st grade!! I am so happy for him; he is getting
slow now getting bored with the same 1st grade things. So it is
becoming hard to keep his mind on his work. Shannon is doing well in her
school, she is being slow here lately too I think it is a Christmas thing going
on they are all excited about the thing our church is doing for Christmas. All
the kids are excited about it. We
have a Christmas Supper on the 15th, hopefully we will make it. Then
we have the Christmas Kids play, Candle Light service on Christmas Eve. So much
to look forward to! |

Been
a busy past few days sorry I have not wrote!! We
got a Suburban on Friday; it is a 99, in very good condition. Todd is so
excited about it. It is an 8 passenger. So that is nice for us all to have
room. What is really nice is I am able to drive it!! I was not able to drive
the van it was hard for me to, it was scary. It is a pretty sandalwood color, clothe
inside, tow package and all. God is so great! I
am doing well; the baby is a very active one always moving around. He likes
getting his feet up in my ribs already! I cant wait to meet this little guy. Todd
goes on his interview this Thursday in |

It snowed the past 2 nights. The kids love it!! Was not much it is all melted before noon but they like seeing snow. It has been very cold the past few days! Yesterday was my birthday it was pretty good day, we got the lights bought for outside and we bought me a birthday cake and meal. The birthday meal will be tonight instead of yesterday because we where all full we had ate at Wal-mart because we had missed lunch and we all were very hungry around 3 so we had a small supper. Today Todd is putting up the lights outside cant wait to see what the house looks like!! I will post some pics as soon as I can. Oh here are some pics of the little boys walking in the snow.

easy. Babys heart rate is good and strong; he is moving all over the place the
midwife got to see my belly moving all over. The midwife I saw is not the
normal one I see; I will see Linda on the 14th. Todds
interview that was on the 1st is now going to be moved to probably
the 15th. I pray he gets a job in |

The
past week has been crazy! Starting last Tuesday there has been something going
on with someone in our house. Last Tuesday I was going to swat the dog for
peeing on TJs toy and I hit the chair and broke my middle finger on my right
hand. That made doing anything hard, like making Thanksgiving dinner. Good thing my mom was here to help me. After
Thanksgiving dinner TJ got sick all over the place, it was not from the meal because
he hardly ate anything, it is so sad seeing a 14 month old baby get sick. He had
a tummy flu or something, he was a little sick still on Friday but. Was really
grumpy, and started pulling his ears on Saturday. We
took him to the doctor to find out he has a double ear infection and a rash
form of strep. Poor baby we got him his medicine and went home to find out Ian
was sick with the tummy flu! Ian was so sick all night I have never seen anyone
get sick as often as he did in my life. As
I was getting Ian and TJ ready for bed I went to the bathroom and found out I
was spotting, ok things are all going crazy now. I called L&D and was told
to come in and get checked out. With having a baby born at 23 week due to
bleeding, this was a hard thing to deal with. I spent a lot of time just
sitting there praying. Went to the L&D to find out that the OB on call was
the same I
was monitored and Jacob was doing awesome, the nurse and the doctor said he was
very reactive more reactive then most babies at his gestational age. My cervix
is long closed and firm. Jacobs head is down but when the doctor examines me he
moves away. So all is good with him. I have been told to rest as much as I can
and just take it easy. Sunday
morning we woke up to everyone being sick, we all had the tummy flu Sunday was
a crazy day here for sure. I am still spotting a little but it seems to be
getting better |

Well
yesterday went well! We had deep fried We
talked to Maya in the morning she seems to be having fun we had talked to Shane
on Monday so did not talk to him last night, that was hard. After
the meal we had pumpkin pie, chocolate raspberry cheese cake, and meninc meat
pie. Everyone had a pretty good time. After we were all done and we were
cleaning the kitchen poor TJ got so sick!! We had to rush him to the shower to
clean him up, it was not that he ate to much it was he got the tummy flu!! He
has it today still to his poor little tummy. It is so sad seeing a baby get
sick. He seems to be doing a lot better tonight. sure hope he gets over it
soon!. |

Well yesterday morning one of our dogs peed on TJs toys. So I
went to swat him and hit the chair with my finger instead!! I broke my index finger,
well that is how it is being treated it could not be x-rayed. It hurts so bad
is all blue/purple and very swollen.
Dizzy has been upset with us and peeing everywhere since we got Ian his
cat kitty, Dizzy is being a bad dog! Going to be making my raspberry cheese cakes today for tomorrow
will be fun with a hurt finger. Simple things like folding clothes, changing
diapers, brushing my hair hurt. Feels so silly not being able to do things that
are very normal in my life. We will be picking up the turkey later on today, last year it
was almost forgotten! Tonight we have church our normal Wednesday service with extra
time for everyone to say what they are thankful for. |
|
Not much to say today sorry all. So much stress right now I pray the Lord takes it away I feel like just sitting here are crying. |
|
So
today Ian has a cold, he is feeling pretty yucky poor guy. We
put up the tree today and have put some of the lights on it still have a lot of
work to do. But it is nice to have the tree kinda up. Going to get the rest
done as soon as we can hopefully before, Wednesday. |
|
Oh my! Yesterday was so busy; we started off going and getting the
tires done on the Van. The dropped some things off at Good Will. Then the guys
got their hair cut, after that we put in our order for our fresh turkey. We had
videos and some of Todds games to get rid of. Ian and TJ rode on the train
they had there TJ was scared, but did not cry he was just not happy. After the mall trip it was off to Sams club to get food. We
spent about 3 hours walking around and getting what we needed from Sams. When
we go to Sams we all get a work-out. Ian
started not feeling well as we were at Sams so we went home after that.
Unloaded TJ napped then Todd and I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things we
could not find at Sams. Needless to say our feet hurt! |

I have been spending time getting the shopping list ready for Thanksgiving.
Lots of stuff to get ready for, deep fried turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole,
mashed potatoes, the list goes on and on. We are going shopping for the stuff tomorrow.
It will be a busy day. We are going to
be working on the front yard today and get all the weeds taken care of. |

Thought maybe I should share my U/S pics with you all here they are at 18 weeks 4 days
I am now 24 weeks 5 days.
Cant wait to meet our new little boy!! |
|
So
tired today, pray all goes well. Ian got done with all his school yesterday! |
|
Today is Shanes birthday he is 16 today it is very strange not having him here for his birthday. Hope he has a great day. Going to be weird not having Maya here going though the schedule today, wonder if we will get done earlier then normal. If so I hope to do some sewing with Ian and maybe I am going to try to make the patterns myself so that if I feel good about what I am doing I could maybe sell them in the future. I would really like to help bring some money into our house as I raise the children; I have been looking into a lot of work at home jobs. Longaberger, Usborne Book, Party Lite, Natural Family Boutique, or Home and Garden Party. I feel doing one of theses jobs will help a lot till I can become confident in my sewing and then maybe open a online store. So many things to think about, I am praying about it and God will lead me to what I need to do soon! |

Well Maya is off to She is excited to be going out there and having Thanksgiving there it will be the first time for her to have it there. Just wish that she would not be taken from her school so often during our teaching time. But that is a different story. This Thanksgiving is going to be so very different then all of our Thanksgiving in the past. Shane is going to be in |
