Moving on...

Shelly & my son Ethan

Waaaaa!!! Yesterday a very dear and special friend moved on from here. It seems as though a whole chapter of our lives have just closed with her moving on... We dropped her off at her new destination with well wishes and hopeful thoughts. But apon arriving home the house was beyond quiet and strangely still. I wonder if she will like her new abode, or if she will miss us and want to return? My hope is that she will return, my desire is that she'll miss us here to much and come back. But then, where she is ..is a good place with awsome people. That I hope if its the lords will she will find her calling and what she longs for there. I don't want to be selfish in holding her back. But just the thought of her not being with us any more leaves a very deep void in our lives.. It's been a day and I already miss her so much...

Here's to Michelle, Love you girl.. You have so many wonderfu gifts the lords given you. With so many great and wonderous things in store.. You've been such a wonderful part of my life, and those around you. Always a sample of love and happiness and giving.. Thanks for coming here and making our house a home... I am sure going to miss you! As will Kaden, but mostly Ethan. :)

Three cheers for Michelle!! Hip hip horray!!!
Just to mention.. She's not dead.. Only gone from this home.. Hehe!!! I just wanted to let you all know incase it came across that way.

Late nights..

So ya! Staying up late... you would think it's a wonderful thing till you actually have to be up late with a reason.. A child.!!.. I'm not complaining,. Just appreciating what I had..And oh! those days when the nights were peaceful and quiet.

What makes me sad though is that my poor baby has bad colic, or at least what they call colic! What is the meaning of colic? The hardest thing is just knowing what to do,what's wrong, how to help him, how to understand what he's feeling or wanting. And then staying clam through it all.

He's been doing a lot better the last two nights though (If only it stays that way). So that's a blessing...Now to be able to get up in the morning!

ROBBED!!




Ya! Did I tell you.... The other day I got robbed... Weird thing was.. I went to a Restrant with a friend to eat out.. AppleBee's... So we park, and I decided to leave my purse in the truck, not wanting to have to hold anything thing for onces.. And inside.. just before getting our food, I had this earry feeling to pray for the truck, cause for some reason I felt and had the though what if we were robbed?" so I prayed I quick pray and went to eating.. Not long after we came out of the resturant.. My friend opened my door first and let me get in.. I got in... and looked across to the other side.. Saw glass shattered on the drivers side.. and my first reaction was.... " no, were not robbed!" then I turned to my friend and said..." someone broke in".. I had left my purse behind the passangers seat on the floor...that was the only thing in the Truck that was taken.. thankfully they didn't get my friends digital camara.. As he had borrowed it.. So we went back to the resturant.. Called the police.. I was still in shock.... I told mysef I wasn't going to cry...I called Dad to let him know, and broke out in tears... what!!! can you blame me? I was mad! We filed a police report, cleaned the mess, and went and watched a movie...

Boy,was I mad!!! Not to mention the next day my bank calls to see why I wasn't useing my card...only to be having so much activity on it in the space of 12 hours.. 7 times, they tried and failed to get into my account..How stupid is that?

Happy Fathers Day


Yes I know I'm late.. But such is like.. Didn't want anyone that is a father to think I didn't think of them, as I know what that's like.. Hehe! Anyway! Happy Fathers Dad to all you fathers out there. Love you all!


And here's to my Father...
My thoughts... I wrote this a couple days ago as it was for my dad so I thought to post it here.

I had been reading for my word time Thought Power which was real feeding and inspiring for me. I don't know what it was but I was quit emotional that day which I've not been to recently... To many things going through my head.

It all started when Dad was going for one of his board meetings. He came to say good bye to us before going. (Its not the every day Dad) And I was thinking that it was so sweet and nice of him to do so . Then when he left I was thinking about it, and started crying. Don't ask me why.. but I got to thinking about times past.. And one that I remember the most that really stuck out to me about my dad, that really touched me.. Was the time after I had my 1st son. I had gotten a really bad infection in my stomach.. and was in alot, alot of pain.. Laying there on my bed I could not move a muscle as it was so painful and i felt paralyzed. Dad was there with me. And as he's a real fighter he always tries to get us to fight through our battles and trails.. But this was a little more then I could bare... None the less.. this is the part that always stuck with me... I was crying in pain.. I looked up at dad and said" sorry dad, I'm really trying to fight". In that moment, and in other times like that, I saw just how much my father loved me, loved us! He looked at me with the saddest hurting eyes as if he wished to take the pain and the weight I had on his sholder. And said " I know you are sweety, I know you are!" I remember his face, he just started crying as if he were in all that pain for me, and how sorry he felt that I was hurting that bad and he was incapable of doing anything to help me.

I just remember that and I look back on that time and I know that although dad may not always show it or not always express it. There is no way I could ever deny the love that he has for each one of us.. Or the pain that he suffers when one of us suffer. Thats how I know Dad truly does love us all , even those not apart of our immediate family.
It just made me think.. what would I do if dad were not with us any longer? Would I be abe to say I could let him go I could live without him in our lives? I know no one could.. but it be so much different.. So much harder. It just wouldnt be the same with out the Dad I love and cherrish.. Both through the good and throught the bad time.

So this to say.. Love you Dad.. thanks for always being there for me.. for us! We are what we are today because of your patients and love for us... thanks you!

It's Quiet..Too Quiet!!!

.... So many things have been going on all at once, happenings, changes,excitment,joy & saddness. And it seems to always hit at the same time when ever it does happen.

We just lost a bunch of members to our home saddly. Tim, Maya and their girls. Lani left before them. Aaron's gone at the time, only to come back and then leave again. And then Shelly just informed us that she'll be moving as well.
Then there's Jeanie that wants to join us. And this friend of mine for a time. With people coming and going. Not to mention the arrival of two new babies in the home..
It's just over whelming. And really quite now too.. I love the quite. Not complaining there! Just miss the home that we had. Everyone here was just totally great.. If we had not all decided to close.. We would have really made a great winning team. We were a great winning team!!!

Anyway... I would like to thank all those that lived here. For all their love and support. It was a real experiance living with you all and I'm going to miss you greatly when that time really comes to departing and saying good bye. Love you! Your in my prayers.

Things Happening

Well as I said I would try to stay on top of writing in my blog. But as you see, its not all that easy..

First let me give a shout out to Rick and Rosie. Congrats on your little bundle of joy, she sure is a Emerson. Hope and wish you the best!


Well I've been wanting to add some little nick nacks in here. But just haven't found the time to do so.. Every time I get to writing, my precious one decides its his time to wake. Such is
life.. Speaking of Precious one.. How about a few pics?

Sunday Fun Day...





Well I can't give it a total "fun day" name.. As Sunday's are yet the busiest days of the entire week (for a good part of it). But still there was some fun involved. And its always a better day looking at, then friday or Saturday. Being as Monday is usually our day off and something we all look forward to.
But here's a little something!

I took these pics of my youngest sister.. We normally have Activated meetings today.. But our air-con has been a pain in the butt and not functioning.. So the meeting is held else were this week. But still she found this hat, and I thought she was so cute in her "sunday atire" that I got these pics of her.

My Praise

"Sometimes I wonder when things go so wrong.. Has God forsaken and left me alone. But then I remember through trials and despair.. He's always with me... I'm most richly blessed."

"For his eye is on the Sparrow (me), and I know he watches me..."

Just have so many thoughts going through my head, so many worries, concerns, fears. Wondering what the future would hold for me.. Then the lord showed me to just praise my way through it.. and those are the songs that came to mind.

First Day Bloggin'

Yippy! Here's to starting my own blog.... Thanks to my sisters help, I finally have my own. I just thought to join the crowd of all you bloggers.. Was feeling left out there. Well I hope you all enjoy, and hope to staying on top of it too.. If not... well, I'll do my best.
