Dimples & dents

We heard back from the Doctor's office Wednesday evening saying that Daniel did indeed break his foot, haven't heard anything since. This Wednesday we have an appointment with a Orthopedic doctor to see what else can be done. Meanwhile where the smiley face is on Daniel's foot is where the fracture is. He received the styling boot to wear until it heals. I've been finding it hard to convince him not to do things that could possible hurt his foot. It diffently affects him though at night time when his foot is resting & throbbing for all the activity he did during the day.

We received some unexpected snow Thursday morning, it didn't make any difference other than a change of scenery. It pretty much melted as soon as it landed at least on the roads & sidewalk. The kids enjoyed it and Shane & I got some cool pictures.




Shane finished up his intensive week of class & I'm entering my third week of Acts & Pauline letters. There are "hypothetically" plans in the works for celebrating my birthday this weekend, I have class on Monday when it actually falls so it happening early.

All the kids have the sniffles thankfully they haven't progressed into something worse.

Something cool I read today posted by a friend that goes to our Church, since I missed yesterday due to sick kids -Pastor Tom used golf balls for a great analogy at church today. Golf balls used to be smooth, but as they were hit dimples were formed. The players discovered that the balls traveled further with the dimples. The same with our lives. The dimples and dents God has allowed us to get are also allowing us to go farther for Him. We should rejoice in being "roughed up" as it leads to character building.

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.
