Rolling along nicely

Sorry no pictures yet, I did take some last week when we had a our last free Friday for sometime. We ventured out of the city to Multnomah Falls which for those who don't know are about 30 min. East of Portland. It was a beautiful day, had fun taking the kids up to the bridge which parallel the middle of the falls. We then (since kids were napping)decided to continue west and go back to the u-pick farm we had found the Sunday before last. This time picking up tomatoes and peaches, not so many ears of corn.

Sunday we went to church at the "Mosaic" then had Scott & Kathy (fellow Seminary couple) 1st year, over to dinner. When they left Shane started peeling peaches so he could justify watching the baseball game and not do homework. So I sliced & froze a bunch of peaches.

On Monday we had a low key day, I started working on Tomatoes, making salsa & plain tomatoes. By the evening I finally got them all water bathed and cleaned up. Tuesday was Kelli's first day of school. She is a big 1st grader this year. Her teacher is Ms. Kuney. Awesome teacher, I like her a lot and she knows how to deal with Kelli in all her moods. Tuesday night Daniel and Dakota had an adventure around campus (without)Mom. Kelli, Seth, & I found them infront of the Seminary building.

Wednesday Kelli to school then watched (the neighbors to the east of us) two of the three kids. Plus our other neighbors two kids of three from the other side came over to play. Crazy, both Wednesday & Thursday I'm watching James, Ronnie, & Hadey. Til football season is over, just for an hour. Which isn't too bad. There good kids. We also on Wednesday night went over to Zack and Cathy another set of married seminary students house for dinner. Zack is in his 2nd year.

Thursday we Chris (Active Airforce 1st year seminary) over for dinner. Shane met him the first day of orientation and invited him to lunch. So it was good to see him again.

Friday we had Simon from India (1st year Seminary student) who's wife decided to stay in India over for lunch, then a group of 1st year Seminary girls that are in Shane's classes, Gretchan,Rebecca,Laura, & Brittney over for dinner and games. Yes I did get my homework done during this time.

We are having Erin & her husband Amel?,over for lunch. He is in Seminary with Shane we are helping them get connected with other Married Seminary couples. It is a big support system here and it's nice getting tied in.

Whew! Tonight Shane is upstairs doing reading and working on his laptop and I'm down stairs taking a break from my reading working on my Netbook. That we got for me last week. I haven't started putting my pictures on it yet so I have to wait til I can get Shane's for a moment to download pics. of kids.

Cross eyed yet? Keep the prayers coming, Daniel starts Pre-school this monday.

God is great!

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.
