Tshiamo on Xanga

Saturday, 22 August 2009

Oh my... its been way too long. But, most of you follow me on twitter/facebook.

Since my last post... gosh. I don't even know what I posted last for sure. Well, we moved AGAIN! We go to a new church, Jeremiah still works at teh same place, I am still a stay-at-home mom... yeah, that's it. :)

My kids are growing so fast. Tshiamo is saying something shocking everyday! She is such a big girl and loves to have adult conversations with people! Libby, she loves to keep me on my toes. Journey, is my cuddle bug. I can't believe Tshiamo will be 4 soon. I can't believe my youngest will be 2 in just a half a year! YIKES!

I am starting to get super involved with our church at Resurrection Life, Holland Campus. I haven't felt like I am doing exactly what i am called to do for a long time now. But, here, I feel like this is exactly what God is wanting me to do right now and learn. I am the piano/keyboard player at the church and sing when I don't play. This past Thursday I lead worship for the prayer gathering. It was wonderful.

The Lord is doing wonderful things in Jeremiah's and my relationship. I think for the first tiem in a while, we are starting to really see God's direction on things. Still a lot of things are unclear, but it is getting there. Most of it all has to do with surrendering OUR plan and desires to Him, because ultimately we want to do nothing less than to honor Him. But, sometimes what we think would be honoring to Him, is, but it isn't honoring him in His perfect will for our lives. Make sense? Anyway, that's where we are.

Tshiamo starts school soon. And along with her, it seems that I may be going too. Back to school that is. We will see. Liberty and Journey are doign a home based head start course each week. It is wonderful. :) Tomorrow I take Tshiamo to orientation to her new school (since her old one was closed down due to tax cuts). I am so excited. I think more than she is! :)

Jeremiah, well he is just workin' workin' workin' trying to make ends meet for our family. He is such a tremendous husband. He is so loving and giving of himself. I am so selfish compared to him.

well, that's us in a nut-shell. We are alive and well. Just livin' life, raising our beautiful three children and serving the Lord every day of our lives. :) Hope to hear from all of you. :)

So, it seems that i am doing the facebook thing because its fast, no one ever seems to be using or reading xanga any longer and... just cuz. Anyway, things are going well here. Since I posted last... hmmm... lots has happened. Too much to post. TOO much.

Anyway, hope this finds everyone doing well. I think the only ones left on xanga are sarah and Lydia. I read yours ladies. :)

If you have facebook and we aren't friends, add me! :)

Journey riding this "bike". We now have seperated the seat and he walks with it around the house.

This is a common face he gives lately. He is so silly. Such a beautifully content baby, so happy!

Libby and her "art".

My beauty queens. More like princesses.

We got a tie-boe video the other day and Tshiamo LOVES to do it. She says, I want to do my push-up movie! She does pretty good too! Libby just really gets a kick out of watching people doing it.

My silly-goose! She put her panties on her head and is wearing bubba's 4 year old pj's he got from a friend at Christmas. :) Too cute. Look how much hair she has! :)
Found out today, Tshiamo will start school next week. Hard part about it, is that it is in the afternoon and I have to transport her if I want her to finish school this year. The transport wont be a problem since her school is like a mile away from our house! But, the afternoon thing will be difficult I think. Hopefully its easier than anticipcated. See, her class would be from 1:15pm-4:45pm! She takes her nap at 1pm so I have to do some serious juggling really fast. I think I am goign to start waking the kids up at 6 so I can get them for a nap at 11am so they will be up in time for me to take Tshiamo to school. Woohoo! It iwll be fun!

Also, journey took his first step last sunday. My big man! :) Exciting times! Then, we have also been starting to "test" him with regular formula rather than lactose free formula. He has done really well so hopefully he has grown out of it! :) Also, he is in his own room now and is not eating in the night! He sleeps from about 8:30-7:45 on the button! ha! I figured hwen we moved, it would be a good transition time. He cried the first night for 50 minutes nad then the next night, maybe 10 seconds!!! That first night he woke up at about 2am and cried for about 10 minutes I guess... I don't know, I didn't look at the clock. But, he hasn't given me a problem! He is a champ! However, I haven't conquered the nap time in his room yet. He has cried HOURS in his room and STILL didn't go down for a nap. We will conquer that as time goes. But for now, I am very happy with his progress.
Liberty is speaking so much better everyday! Shes such a big girl, with such an independant spirit! Ha! She is a sweetie. She is doing really well being in her sisters room. The girls have even "switched" beds the last couple days. It is cute. Liberty is also not wearing diapers any longer during the day!! She is almost completely potty trained other than at night! We have a couple accidents a day, but she does really well. Growing up SO fast.

I failed to mention that the house is only 1000 sq ft! STINKIN' SMALL in even an understatement, but manageable with three little ones, rather than teeenagers. So, we will be fine. Currently our house is 2,500 or 3,000 sq. ft probably. REALLY big. Hahahaha! But, if we move, the kids will have their own full bathroom and jeremiah and I will too, PLUS, I will have my very first dish washer! been longing for that since we get a pile up the wazzoo with just one meal with a family of 5.
