where we're at

 it is already the middle of november. i dont know how that happened but here we are. waiting for out new and exciting life to begin:) we sent out our support letters to some friends and family and our home churches last month and are starting to see responses which is super cool. there is really nothing like having people back you up with their friendship and their prayers and their money. yesterday we had a relative tell us she had been praying for us to have the opportunity to go into ministry for a while now. isnt that crazy? that before we knew what God wanted from us he had people praying for us to figure it out:) most of the people we tell are super excited for us and think camp is the perfect fit for us. its a really awesome time in our lives... BUT.. its also been a struggle in that we now know WHERE and WHAT we're going to do with our lives, but the WHEN is still up in the air. please be praying for us to be able to raise our funds for camp quickly and get up there and JUMP in to our new calling. and if you havent received a letter and would like one just drop us an email and let us know!

surviving colic

we always say that our first baby was cake. everything was easy with A- she loves to eat and eats well. she slept through the night at 6 weeks old and has been doing it ever since. she was potty trained, through the night and in big girl underpants 24 hours a day at 25 months. she is smiley and friendly and just goes with the flow. so we knew in the back of our minds that no baby can compete with that:) and that our second would be more challenging.  ha. we never could have prepared for W. from the moment he was born, at 9 lbs 6 oz he has been full of surprises. he didnt cry for like 2 minutes, 2 of the longest minutes of my life. the nurse was on the phone with the nicu. and i couldnt see him. and all i wanted was to hear this baby i had worked so hard for cry so i could hold him. and then he did.  the next day they told us he had to pee within 24 hours of his circumcision so that they knew everything was working properly. of course he didnt do that so they sent him to the n...

letting jillian kick my bum again

in a desperate attempt at finally losing my baby weight leftover from big man i met up with my old frenemy jillian michaels this morning at 6AM in my living room to do the 30 day shred workout. it worked with A and i have confidence it will work again, if i can only carve out the time for it. im hoping that getting my body back on track will inspire me to regain selfcontrol in other areas of my life like spending quiet time with God and organizing our home and trying to stick to a budget and on and on. all great "things" to aspire to, but overwhelming when i feel like i need to "fix everything" at the same time. im not one to make resolutions with the new year. i know myself much too well for that:) but i can start small and if i stick with this working out dealy- its gonna require me getting up early (because both my babies are early birds) and committing to doing it even when i dont feel like it- i CAN lose my extra 10ish pounds by W's birthday. Which was my g...

the big announcement!

well the process only took FOREVER but i am sooo happy to announce...that we received the call (3 weeks ago now): my husband is officially on staff at a christian camp in michigan!! we have been searching out a path for ourselves for a LONG time and just saw a bunch of dead ends. we couldnt figure out why both of the houses we made offers on didnt work out (please note: they are both, as of this post, still EMPTY). we didnt understand why we have felt led to bounce from place to place, making friends and then having to leave them. we didnt know how J could use his construction talents without having to work a construction job. and now we do. we belong at camp. J's title will be maintenance director, but our whole family will be on call to do whatever needs to be done at any given moment. we have a home in northern michigan. and we have made connections at several churches among several states that will hopefully support our ministry. woohoo! please be praying for us as w...
