Almost weekend

Timothy and his Pa, Little man is now 8 month old
Big sister, big brother - always being funny, and little pinguin
Our youngest pianist
My goodness, 11 years and going on teenageyears. My big girl!!!!!!

This is Friday and tomorrow we will be heading out to Iowa. It has been a while since Jason's family has seen Timothy. We will be staying at his uncles place out in the woods. Lots of running place for the kids.
Timothy is almost 9 month old. Only a few more days. Oh my, time runs so fast. His buddy Jackson already hit his 9 month mark. Well, at least we (Timothy) got one tooth more than Jackson. LOL
Here are a few pictures of my loved ones. Gotta love em!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise God

God is good!!!!!!!!! I went to the clinic today. Timothy's ears are clear, x-ray showed no signs of bronchitis, and the ultrasound of Tommy's belly showed that his liver is normal and not enlarged. Thank you Lord!
Right now, I am listening to a webcast "Stop the abortion". It is very sad what they do to babies. The great thing is that over 30.000 people are listening tonight. That is encouraging.
Motherhood is the best thing that ever happened to me, after being saved. Guess, not every woman feels that way. How sad!

sick babies

Oh my, what a week. First Tommy was sick with a fever, then baby Timothy came down with bronchitis. I had to take him to the ER on Monday night, closer Tuesday morning 4 AM. He is doing better, being on Antibiotics. Everone who knows me knows how much I hate giving medicine to my kiddos. But in this case I felt it was necessary. He could hardly breath, coughed like a barking dog. It was pittyful.
Well, lets see... I took Tommy to the doc on base because of his tummyache that seems to appear every week and sometimes every day. They did an X-ray and took some blood. Result: Enlarged liver and a collon that goes zick-zack. Also his stomach is smaller than it should be. Now I know why he doesn't eat much at a time. Anyways, we have to see a doc in Warrensburg tomorrow morning to get an ultrasound done. And with all of that we have to visit Children's Mercy in Kansas City to see a specialist. I pray that everything will be easy to fix. God has always been good to us, and I know that He is still in charge.

Well, other than that we have not heard where we will be going next, what duty station will be blessed with our presence. LOL.
I am doing better with eating healthy (Hint, Carie).
I guess that is it for today. Hope the night will be peaceful - no crying baby.

Zurueck vom Familien Camp

Hannah's 11th birthday, and we could celebrate it with her.
4 crazy boys
Oh, 3 cuties ( one of them is mine!!!! )
New haircolor, takes time to get used to.

Letzte Woche auf Camp war super. Leeanna, Tommy, Timothy und ich hatten viel Spass mit anderen Freunden. Ausserdem haben wir eine Menge anderer Leute kennen gelernt. Jeden Morgen und am Abend hatten wir Gottesdienst und Gott hat uns gezeigt, was wir besser machen koennen.
Zuerst hat es eine Puppenshow gegeben, die nicht nur den Kindern gefallen hat, danach gab es Spiele, Jungs gegen Maedels. Manche Leute glauben, dass einmal die Woche genug ist, in die Kirche zu gehen. Ist es wirklich genug 1 Std die Woche Gott zu witmen? Hat er nicht mehr verdient? Mir macht es jedenfalls Freude das Wort Gottes zu hoeren, und mehr von Ihm zu lernen.
Wir haben natuerlich auch Sport getrieben (war Zeit fuer mich faules Ei). Jeder konnte waehlen zwischen Volleyball, Fussball, Hufeisen werfen, Kanu fahren usw. Calvary Baptist Church hat dieses Jahr sogar den Championship in Volleyball gewonnen, und ja... ich war im Team. Juhu, habe aber seitdem ein blaues Ei am Handballen, Puhu.
Jedenfalls hat Gott mir auch gezeigt, dass es einen Grund gibt, dass Jason bald kein Rekruter mehr ist. Ich verstehe es zwar noch nicht, habe aber seitdem meinen Frieden deswegen.
Gestern haben unsere Freunde, die Means uns besucht, und gingen mit uns heute frueh zur Kirche. Leider mussten sie nach dem Mittagessen schon wieder fort.
Oh, ich habe meine Haare gefaerbt. Jap, eigentlich wollte ich dunkelblond, aber im Moment habe ich dunkelbraun-roetliche Haare. Ich werde versuchen ein paar Fotos anzuhaengen.

4th of July coming up

2 more days and another 4th of July, with food, fun and friends. Not to forget the fireworks. I am really looking forward to that. We invited 2 wonderful families to celebrate with us. Sad to say but this time I won't go to a TEA party (taxed enough already party). I hope that a lot more people will show up this time.
Well, I got good news, Timothy sleeps in his own bed now. At least he goes to sleep there (in Tommy's room). He still wakes up at night to eat. Which is ok, I just bring him to our bed and let him finish out the night. He is such a sweetheart, what can I say, just another blessing from our wonderful Creator.
Well, time to go to bed. Oh one more thing, our pool got pushed against our rockpillars and has an ugly cut in the wall. Needless to say that the water ran out. Now Jason has to patch it and set it up again. Poo.

Another day closer to having my kids back

Good Morning. My day started with a walk with Timothy and Sally, my dog, and before that we had some fresh pressed juice (are you proud of me, Carie?). Jason's first day at work yesterday went well. After our walk and reading my emails I got on the phone with my 2 Senators, and tried to call the White House (busy signal) and the Ambassador Rice. What a mess we are in, now they want to join the UN treaty - the Rights of the Child. Which means we would give up more and more of our Freedom. I was never into Politics until now. I may not make a difference, but at least I tried.
OK, I worked on my blog all day (almost) yesterday to put on a slideshow of my photes. Finally I got it but now I lost my template, which means my blog looks really boring. Help! ;)

Another hot day

2 old friends, wrecked out together! Oh what a wonderful day, Timothy and Jackson on their way to the Mall in Independence.

Timothy and his Pa are relaxing on the swing

Another good friend, Jacob, born April 27, 2009

Good Morning, it will be hot again.... Anyway, let me just jot down a few thoughts. After reading the blog of a very dear friend of mine (Liz, that is you) it occured to me that I don't spend enough time on my blog. By the way, Liz is my diaper-buddy from the South. Clothdiapers that is. She is also my Amish-fan friend. Liz is married to an Air-Force-man and is the mother of 2 cuddly little boys. Jackson, the baby, is Timothy's best buddy, he is 10 days older. Liz is the one who got me started on blog. I am still not good at it, poohoo.

By the way, today is Jason's first day back at work after his surgery. I pray that he will be okay.

The other blog-friend, who inspires me a lot, especially when it comes to healthy eating and natural childbirth, is Carie. She reminded me than I need to write updates about Jason's recovery. Carie is the mom of 5 sweet children, my kids best friends, and the wife of an Army-officer. They are missionaries to Mexico as of next year. Poohoo, I will miss them. If you are a prayer warrior, please put them on your prayer list. I know they would appreciate it.

The third one in the group of bloggers is Kelly, mom of 3 handsome boys and the wife of an Air-Force-officer. She is also a fan of the Amish-store. I am sorry that she has to leave. But that is Military life. I guess.... One thing is for sure, the Lord will always be with us, no matter how often we have to move.

A thought for the day: Life is too short and precious to live for self. Live everyday as it would be the last one, live it in the presence of God. I am reading a wonderful book, written by Elizebeth George, "A woman after God's own heart". It is very inspiring.

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward Psalm 127:3
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Ephesians 5:33
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives. While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. I Peter 3:1-2
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. I Peter 1:15

I hope everyone is having a great day, stay out of the heat. ;)

Well, I guess these are more than just a few thoughts. LOL
