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! :)

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.

So, on Monday morning, we will know 100% if we are moving, or if we are staying in the house we are in currently. The place we found is in Holland, MI. I actually grew up part of my childhood (1-11 years old) in Holland, so I know my way around and my sister just lives in the next town over, in Zeeland. The place we found is actually... literally, across the street from where Jeremiah works. Its a 3 bedroom place and we would have a slide and swing set place and a pool, plus we are only a few minutes away from downtown. So, i am really excied about the opportunity. The only thing is, I don't know ANYONE anymore in Holland. Only a couple people in Zeeland. So, I have no "support base" whatsoever. I don't have anyone I can call and say, HELP, if I need it even for a half hour to take a kid to the doc or to go myself, or if I get sick. So, that is a bit scarey. It isn't like I had a ton if it where we are now anyway. It was only a couple people and that was only if they weren't busy! So, I have a ton of excitement but a couple nerve racking moments. PLUS, I never thought it would be this hard to take my PRESCHOOLER out of school! Ha! Only in preschool and it brings me to tears almost everytime I think about it. Oh Lord take us to the mission field NOW so I don't have to take her out again later!!!! :) Exciting news is we will be debt free in a matter of a couple months and will never again be in debt other than maybe a mortgage for a home later on. Tshiamo saw the outside of the house yesterday as we drove by so she could see it. She is well aware that she may be moving and starting a new school and is excited about it and even talks about having a new teacher and school and new friends. So, that makes me feel a bit better. There are SO many thoughts going around in my head, it isn't funny. It is so much easier to move when you do'nt have children. But once you do, especially in school age, watch out, it gets REALLY tough. I mean, we have to find a new pediatrician, which I loved the one I had before. I may be tempted to just keep the current one and drive the distance! Ha! We have to find a new school, luckily, Tshiamos pediatric dentist is in Holland. There are bank accouts, all the paper work of whatever it is that has our address on it has to be changed. Normal moving stuff, just takes a lot more time and effort when you have kids. We could be moving as early as this coming weekend! We will see. More on that later! :) PLease pray for us. There is a lot of thought that has to be put into this.
