Aunt Carrie's visit

We are pleased when relatives come and visit us in Portland. We figured we finally got a place were guest could have their own bedroom and not be in the middle of the activity. Shane's sister Carrie has been to see us twice now which is awesome. She is a neat gal, fun to talk to and easy to be around. She is also an amazing photographer so I love it when she points out something new to my camera I haven't tried. She stayed with us Tuesday morning thru Thursday and hopefully had a wonderful time playing Super Auntie.

The kids I know enjoyed her helping them ride their bikes without training wheels and letting her take their pictures. It is fun to have had a break on dishes also, Thanks Carrie!

Moving into new routine week, we're making adjustments to Shane not being in school full time and the kids still in school. Shane's folks are coming back up this way to Summerize their camper and head to Alaska for the Summer. From talking to them and reading their blog it's been another eventful Winter down in the lower 48. They are ready to get back home though.

Sunshine again this week since Thursday and it's suppose to be gone by Monday. As long as we get 4 days of wonderful cloud free sunshine I'm okay with overcast. Kids are all finally over sinus cold and my nose itches from some flower blossoming. The rose bushes on campus are AMAZING! I just walk around with camera in hand taking pictures of the different blooms and taking in the wonderful fragrance God provided to the flowers.

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.
