Sitting back and trying not to fidget.

As most of those who read this know I do not do sitting still very well. I know its some ingrained part of me that has to be going or doing something all the time or else I'm asleep. This has always been ongoing and I've learned to deal with the idealness by either quilting (which hasn't been done since Daniel was born), or reading books. I averaged at one time a book per day when pregnant. Know it's about a book every two days if I'm really into the book or I can make on last a week.

So the reason for me sitting on my hands is we got the house listed and ready to sell this past weekend. Shane & I don't want to put any more money into it than we already have. SO I'm starting deep cleaning like cupboards, pulling weeds (yuck), you can only sweep you floor so often, and I'm currently caught up on laundry. Also I've packed as many boxes as I need to live on basics alone. My house has never been this clean. Not since we moved in. We get to start moving into the house in Portland starting June 1st, Shane will stay Monday nights down there then come home Tuesday morning. We don't have an offical move, possible after Kelli gets done with school and Shane finds a job down there. He hasn't gotten laid off yet.

Kids are doing well, Daniel turned 4 on Friday along with Seth turning 3 months, Kelli has 7/6 weeks until she turns 6. And boy is she counting. :-) Dakota we are trying to get her to stop screaming, and Daniel interested using the toilet more frequently. And Shane started his two extra classes online at U of I this week, for the next 5 weeks.

Suprisingly it's less hectic then it's been.

Wowsa. I don't know how you do it, girl. Relax a little and take a deep breath, okay? I'm the same way, think I always have to be doing something. We don't.

Oh and Happy Birthday to Daniel.

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.
