Well, it’s been a long time since I have posted anything at all because we didn’t have internet for 3 weeks. We couldn’t survive so we got it back. Lots of little things have happened in the last couple months. Josiah is using the potty everyday. I got off my back side and take him even if he says he doesn’t have to go. He’s gone #2 several time and it’s a very exciting time in our house. I’m hoping by 6 months we’ll be done training. He does tell me sometimes but not enough. He’s getting very talkative and is saying sentences. I’m so exited to know what he wants or what is wrong with him now. He occasionally will call his daddy “Richud!!!” or me “baby” (don’t know where he gets that. Also, if someone is not wearing an article of clothing he says “OWWW OwWW!!!” We are about to start doing a little bit of schools during the day. My friend Adina has done a program with her son which is free online. It’s at www.letteroftheweek.com. I’m so very excited to start it. I went out this week and bought a whole bunch of art supplies with our homeschool money. So, we will start that as soon as I get the reading books for the first couple of weeks from the library. Josiah is such a sponge lately and I’m enjoying teaching him just the everday things.
Katarina is now 3 months old and is a big girl. She’s been sleeping in her own bed and through the night since she was 2 months old. She’s rolled over several times and is lifting her head up very well. At her last appointment she was almost 15 lbs I can’t even imagine what next month she’ll be. She loves her daddy and loves to bat her eyes at him. She is such a girly girl already. I’m really loving it. We recently have switched to cloth diapers with her. I’m really appreciating the cost of cloth! Ask me when the stool is big girl. ICK!!! So, once I potty train Josiah I won’t have that money sucker to deal with.
Rich is doing well. He still is waiting on his actual promotion. We’re just continually trusting in God. We know that He is “The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice” Deut. 32:4. God is so good and always provides for us at just the right time. Rich has had a great couple months at UPS he has opportunity to meet fellow Christians and to have godly conversations in the middle of work. Please pray that he continues to be a bold witness and to live a godly life at home, work, and church.
I am doing well. I am back in the swing of things. I love having 2 children. I actually think it’s easier than one. I’m trying to keep my household together and do give my husband a well tended house to come home to after a hard and long work day. Alongside my personal Bible time I have been participating in a Bible study at church Knowin the God of Jonah by Kristie Gant. I really reccomend her studies if you are looking for a deep study that actually is about the Bible and not just our own thoughts. http://www.athomestudies.com/index.html This is the 3rd study I’ve participated in and I just can’t get enough. It goes beyond what I catch when I read. It compares and connects all those verses that you’ve read a million times so you see the big picture. Right now, we are in the process of planning a reformation party for October 31st. So, look forward to those pictures next weekend and also the birth of Little boy Caskey. Adina, my good friend is 37 weeks today and her husband just came back from Iraq. She is #2 of the 6 ladies in our Sunday School that are having babies.
Since I haven’t posted in forever I’m just going to put a couple pics of our last couple months.
