Eastbound

My family would get this reference; I wanted to listen to Johnny Horton "North to Alaska" but am listening to Jerry Reid "Eastbound and Down". Even though most of my family who frequently talks to my parents or to Shane & I know that we are moving to Idaho this coming Monday the 25th.

 We're hoping to rent a house close to my parents, so they can help out when Shane not home. Shane is going to the Oil Fields in North Dakota, with the plan on paying down the student loans that we acquired getting our fancy education. We met my parents in Baker City for Lunch on Saturday, and my wonderful parents took Kelli, Dakota, and Seth to spend the week with them so Shane, Daniel and I can pack up the house in Portland and me go to summer school this week.

 It has been an amazing journey thus far in Portland and Multnomah and are excited to see how God is going to use us in the next phase of our Journey but in Idaho.

 WE had a low key Father's day, spending it at Church, packing and visiting with Larry and Judith Ayers who have been great mentors while we've been at Multnomah.

 We have a packed schedule of visiting with friends before we leave town. Thank you for all the prayers and support these last three years, and for continued prayer as we move into the next steps. Here are some pictures of the neighbor kids with our kids.  They have been true friends these past years. Seth when we arrived.. Seth when were leaving..

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.
