Trying to Finish Well!

Wow, what a whirlwind of the past two weeks has been and promising to be these next few weeks to be. After our trip to Lake Stevens we made an impromptu trip to Buhl to visit my Mom & Dad before this week and Shane starting school. We headed down Tuesday afternoon arriving about midnight, spent a fun filled week with my folks. We went clothes shopping for the kids a couple afternoons, looked at fabric with my folks friend Jule at my Aunt Clara's house, tried to catch some fish, (but they weren't biting). Played with our cousins Garrett, Colton, & Daley (picture in Previous post). Then headed home Saturday stopping off to visit Shanes sister & family. Our Church shopping had us visiting the "Imago Dei" church not to far from our house. One of Shane's future Seminary Teachers is a Elder there and actually taught this past Sunday. We felt comfortable there, kids really liked it. I'm still not comfortable with each of the churches we've gone to h...

I promise an update of our most recent activities and whats happening in our lives. Everyone is healthy and gearing up for next week.

This weekend we put up the kids play yard. It only cost me one impact driver for Shane to agree to pack it from Lake Stevens down here to Portland. The kids were very excited to be able to swing again. As far as "Church shopping" we only went to one church this past weekend. "The Pearl" just barely got started so they didn't have children church for the kids, they got to play with toys. It was a good service, but it didn't fit our current needs. Shane had a migraine which isn't fun for him or me. Luckily he was able to fight it off and be normal today. Found out that I can register Kelli for school, which doesn't start until Sept 8th . Daniel we are not overly concerned about getting into school, we have his name on a couple waiting list for Pre-school. Dakota is doing good, working on making it to the potty chair before peeing. She tends to say "potty" pull down her undies and go wherever she happens to say the words. Yeah.... Seth has c...

So as mentioned previously Shane & I are "Church Shopping", this weekend we tried out three different Churches. Yes it is insane, & Kelli keeps asking as we are leaving "So which Church are we going to next?". The story is on Sat. night we drove out to a church maybe 30 min. away from the house East of Portland called the "Good Shepherd Community Church", it was a good service. Kind of big, but as we were leaving the service, there was a $20.oo next to are drivers side of the van and no cars around. So we figured God wanted us to have the money to put some gas in the Van. So Sunday morning we pulled into the Gas station on our corner, as were sitting there we notice a large van which has over heated and a man dressed up for church talking on his cell phone. When we pulled around him to air up the passenger side tire, Shane goes over to see if he could help in any way. The story was that the van keeps overheating and he needs towed back to his churc...
