Were to start?

Well it's been and interesting two weeks. As many of you know my Grandma Dennis passed away this past week. She was a very special lady, who would watch me when I was sick and couldn't go to school, always have a hug and kiss for me, and like my parents a very stable consitant presence in my life.

We are still working on getting the house ready to sell. I think like most people have said "you can always find a project to do". So I'm calling it good once I get the doors finished painting which Shane bless his heart did this weekend. His Mom & Dad were big help keeping Kelli & Daniel from under foot. I also need to reset some of the brick that we pulled up from having the septic pumped last week.


I'm also a new owner of a 1999 Dodge Van. (Pictures to come) We have been considering replacing the Pacifica with something bigger for a while, and god kind of just dropped this into our laps. Shane was very considerate and did keep my requirements in mind while looking at it. (Could not be white, have less than four windows, could not sit twelve, could not abandon me on the side of the road). Other than being a year newer than it is, it looks like it was kept in really good condition. Has less miles then the Pontiac and is two years older. :-)

Having a good visit with Fred & Marie they left today for D.C. and will be back on Thursday. Before Summerizing? there camper and heading to Alaska eventually.

It was good to see you. Wish it could have been in a happier circumstance. Seth is such a good looking guy! I was glad to get to meet him if only briefly.

See you in June - maybe you can bring the kids over to the coast for a day during the week? They would have fun. We'll help keep them rounded up.

Kristi,
Welcome to the mini-van world, although not the most stylish things they sure are comfortable and convenient. Mine is a '99 too. Sorry to hear about your grandma. I still have all my grandparents and know that some day I'll be facing this too, not looking forward to that. Take care and keep in touch, Tessa

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.
