Happenings

Things Happening in our lives,? Let see

Shane is working long hours for the next week at work cuz he has two big projects due a day apart. He's been really good and leaving for work around 6 a.m. so that he can be home around 8:30p.m. Last week he didn't see the kids for 3 days since they were in bed by the time he made it home. This week I've tried to keep the kids up til he got home. Last night we were able to visit he Cousin Wesley from SD. Wesley was in town for a Conference for his work. It was great seeing him and having a chance to go out to dinner. I loaded the kids in the car drove down to pick Shane up at work, then to dinner further down South. Well worth it.

Kelli is doing great and enjoying herself in Preschool. We are building her confidence in her writing, coloring within the lines, and cutting out pictures. She does great repeating her memory verse for each week. Her patience wears thin with her brother but he can be trying at times.
Daniel we are trying to potty train, on Monday he told his dad on the phone he would not go potty in the toilet. Tuesday we had a good moment when he did go in the potty chair. Since then its been literally hit or miss. :-) Hey I've still got my humor tucked securly away.Dakota is rolling but has added army crawl. So when sister or brother has moved something she was chewing on she'll use her skills to get the object. She is smiles unless she is out of whack. Which was the first three days of the week.
For Myself this has been a week of the lesson with patience. Just when you think you've got it undercontrol. Something new comes along to try it to the point of boil. Reading my bible, reciting memory verses posted to the sink wall, and reading study books that Shane & I are reading together have helped. Oh and lots of prayer. God has been very good to us and gives us only what we can handle. Sometimes it feels like we are drowning, but God gives us the means to stay afloat. Which we've been thankful for, and continue to praise His name.


Have a wonderful rest of the week and weekend.

God Bless you and keep you

Kristi,

I completely understand! Do you ever find that when you need the kids to listen the MOST, they are stone DEAF!!!! And then you find yourself right in the middle of screaming directions and they still haven't even heard a word... Not a single word... Ahh to be oblivious... Lalala de dah... :)

Remember... selective hearing is a skill, and kids master it very young...

Just remember, some days they are so cute, you can't get enough of them... Just remember those days... Only the good days...

Take care!

Whew! Break for update

Long awaited update, we have made it through 7 weeks of school both for the kids and ourselves. It's been a productive semester, God has been guiding our steps and we're continually thankful for that! He has also been growing us and peeling off bandages of hurts I haven't dealt with. Through it all He remains faithful and I am most grateful for that. We've had a slew of birthdays roll through our house these past months. Dakota had hers on the 30th of January! She got some really pretty outfits from Grammie & Grandpa Aunt Nelma,Uncle Paul, and Cousin Steve. She also got a coloring book and sunglasses, another little doll, crown from cousins and neighbor kids, sorry if I forgot anything. We had a little party for her with homemade pizza! My little girl is now 5 years old, scary when she was once so little. My little boy Seth turned 3, February 15th. We had a family party on the day of his birthday. He got some great outfits, and cool cars from Grammie ...

West bound....

            Well another month has passed and we are getting ready to move into March.  It is always hard to write when life is so crazy, however, it is important to let people know what is going on in the Lambing household which is split at the moment.  At the beginning of the year when Shane left for Seattle I thought the kids and I would be able to survive and continue to thrive here in Idaho.  However as the weeks passed and Shane was able to come home everyother weekend, it was becoming clear the kids were no longer thriving especially Daniel.  Daniel I've come to decide is the most emotional based kid I've dealt with.  He is very tender and reactionary to the environment he is in.  This being said, because I'm stressed at being an only parent 90% if the time & I wanted to make it work, Daniel is being stressed and it is becoming more apparent everyday he misses his dad like crazy and is not reacting well to being part...

Month in review

Image
As always it's remained busy for us this last month. We enjoyed a few days away from Portland at the end of March with Dawna, Kurt, and Girls; and Neva, Jason, Thomas, and Katherine. They are all getting so big, it was a treasure getting to spend time with all the nieces and nephew. Unfortunately, Kelli brought headlice home from school. Ugh! We are still battling this with the kids. I'm remaining vigilant. We had a great Easter with sunny weather, and school friends coming over for dinner. The kids dyed some Easter eggs Saturday afternoon which was fun to do. They all looked great in their new outfits. School is gearing towards the end of the semester so we are staying busy. It's been a good year thus far and we are looking forward to the journey of continuing.
