Recent Happenings and a bunch of random thoughts!!

Its so hard to believe that it is november!! time is flying, and my baby girl is almost 5 months!! oh my:) We sure are having fun with her;)!

October has come to a close. its always a busy one for us as its again, our anniversary, my birthday, thanksgiving, and Halloween:) We had so much fun as you can see from the pictures in my last post dressing up the girls and taking them out, I look forward to making this a tradition. and again, halloween, we don't really like, but cute costumes and candy..well, who doesn't????

So between hanging out with my little girl, visiting with friends and family, and sweeping my floor what feels like 20 times a day, we have been living pretty low key...and I love it! I have always been the sort of person who needs to be going going going, and for the first time in my life I am enjoying just being. Cause God did call us human beings, not human doings...so I am learning:) Plus as stated about, it seems like time is flying with our girl, and I don't want to miss a moment!

One of the things we are doing right now, is praying, praying for some big things! A few of them being, getting out of apartment and into better and bigger living accomidations. We really really want to do a tropical trip before having another wee person join our lives, and getting Dave through his last level of his carpentry apprentice this January! We can't wait till he is done this! and hence why we want to take a trip...to celebrate this huge milestone in his life!
We are also praying very hard about what I am going to do in the spring time when the wonderful world of mat leave comes to an end. Right now the thought of going back to work makes me sick. We have come to a decision, and hopefully can stand by it that no one else but family is going to be raising our children..so God is just going to have to work out the finances for us to accomplish this. We are not sure right now how this is going to work, but we do know we serve an amazing God who wants what's best for his children, so he is going to work it out!

I have also have been doing a lot of reading lately. It helps to keep my mind working, and its a great escape at the end of the day! One book that I recently finished reading and HIGHLY recommend anyone reading is called the Glass Castle...it will change your life. or your thought life I guess you could say...it will make you appreciate so much more than you ever have before how truely blessed you are! I have a stack of a few others right now to that I will be giving reviews on, at a later date:)!

This weekend we have had some interesting small turn of events. Addy got her first cold, and her mama caught it too! So it was a few rough days around here, and still is, my little monkey is in bed coughing as I write..poor little bug:) but she is a trooper, and I am hoping all these vitamins that I have been taking are what helping us fight this sooner than later!
While my mom was over yesterday helping take care of her sick girls she discovered something nasty in my house...mold!!! in my washing machine!!! it was disguisting!!! black nasty mold in my fairly new front loader washer from Sears. Lets just say Sears wont be getting our business again anytime soon! they have been no help! so we having been trying everything this weekend trying to get it clean, but we will probably have to break down and buy a new rubber part! and now we know that apparently after every use we have to air it out to dry...so annoying!! but I did discover, through my research, something very interesting. A new cleaning agent..ready for this....hydrogen peroxide! works wonders..better than bleach...who knew:)!!!

So november is here, we are looking forward to a few different events this month, including a parenting seminar at our church every thursday for a month..will be back with review on that as well!! anyways, that's my late sat night catch up on life around these parts:)!
