We made it!

Well we have made it through Shane's last semester of Seminary and my first semester! He is walking tonight to get his Masters of Divinity with an emphasis in Theological Studies. We honestly could not have done this without God walking beside us all the way and the support of Family, Friends, and the Faculty. Wow what a ride for 3 years! We know that God isn't done with us yet and in His timing He will open the door for the next step that we are suppose to take together. Thank you for the prayers and encouragement as we pulled through the months of losses and triumphs. Our kids are still healthy and adapted enjoying school and life. We have had a busy day thus far with Chapel and pictures this morning, Marie made it into town last night for the Alumni Banquet, then tonight is the graduation.
Here are some friends of ours Armae who started with Shane and is finishing, she's a great young lady full of God! Roger Trautmann whose been mentoring both Shane and I throughout the years! The proud Mom! and Dr. Robertson who has been a big influence on Shanes studies in Patristic Theology.
I am very proud of my husband and nervous about where God is going to lead us for these next 2 1/2 years since I'm still feeling called to finish my Masters of Divinity in Chaplaincy. We do know that we are to move out of this house at the end of June, that Daniel and Dakota are finished with school the end of next week, Kelli will be done with school the 15th of June and I start Summer school the 13th of June. So between now and then we are packing our library upstairs, I'm sorting through kid stuff giving most of it away. We have had awesome weather this week, last weekend we went to Seattle to visit family and spend Mother's Day with my sisters. It was awesome and enjoyable time up there.
Daniel turned 7 on Tuesday! Thankyou Aunt Nelma, Uncle Paul, and Cousin Steve for the great clothes and toy. Also Grammie for the Lego separator they were all a big hit. We had multiple celebrations with various friends, so he enjoyed each day.

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.
