Trying to Finish Well!

It was a fun Mid-semester break for Shane & the kids. We took off Friday afternoon after Kelli's well child check up. She is 4 foot 4 inches and 50 lbs. Doing good health wise. We drove up to my sister Dawna's house and surprised the kids with Grammie being their also. They had fun playing with their cousins Bryn, Ansely, & Paige. Shane & I enjoyed visiting with Mom and Dawna. Kurt was on the East Coast so we were unable to see him. That night we finished the drive and spent the night at Neva, Jason, and Thomas' house. The next day at lunch time, Dawna and crew came up so we were able to spend the day with family. The three musketeers had grand time with Grammie letting cars slide down the driveway slope, and the oldest girls played inside and out all day with the slew of neighbor kids. The bonus was we decided we could make it to Portland the following morning so we could spend another night with N & J so Neva and I played a video game together befo...

Latest happenings in my families lives since last time I posted. It has really been acting like fall here in Portland, Shane & I are still running full speed trying to hurdle obstacles that have been placed in our path. Kids are still all healthy, we've been pushing airbourne with the normal everyday vitamins to keep kids immune systems up to the crazy weather. Finished up my hectic week of writing final paper and journal for Hebrew-Revelations, the final project was prepare a lesson using the 6 themes of perserverance, Christ is coming, purity, hope & encouragement, reward & recompense, and giving Glory to God. Yeah! talk about a intense project but it was a great learning experience once I was able to see light at the end of the tunnel. I also started Church and Future things with a professor who likes to see your thought process out in writing. So that was extra work but once again well worth it experience and learning wise. I have 9 weeks of class done until I ...

Seth and Dakota being silly when we were watching the neighbor kids. Seth and Dakota now fit the rain jackets that we got for Kelli and Daniel when they were 4 & 2. It's crazy to think of the years that have passed and the experiences we've had as a family. Dakota trying to sneak past me when she isn't suppose to be wearing her dress to play over at a friends house. Points for being very creative in the covering up. Well we are in to October with rain and cooler temps. I picked all the tomatoes off of the vines before the went moldy and have set them in a box top to ripen. We'll see how that experiment goes. I'm at my mid semester, switching classes this week so it always crazy this time in my schedule. I have 10 weeks left of school before I graduate and am done. Yippee! Shane's mid semester is the end of next week. It's amazing that we've made it this far, but only by the grace of God and good communication between Shane & I. Kids are al...
