well, well, well....

It seems that I have a slight problem.....

I am a terrible blogger! 

OOPS! 

Better "luck" next time :)

SO... here is next time...

Hello! I'm Amanda...wife to an aMaZiNg husband, mother to 4 full-of-life kiddos (check out previous blogs), daughter, sister, & friend. Those are my "roles". I fall short in all areas, daily. By God's grace, mercy, and promise, every morning is new (Lamentations 3:23). 

Current Events:

Zeke (12 months) is walking! He turned 1 on the 9th of March and started walking on the 14th. :-)

Jillian (2 1/2 years old) is completely potty-trained! Officially a full time big girl :-) (aside from the not-so-big-girl temper tantrums that DO occur....."oh, but she's so cute!" -- yes! even the cute ones have not-so-cute moments) 

Molly (almost 6 1/2 years old) has been SUPER excited about reading her Bible and just started soccer. She didn't want to play last year and this year, was very excited to join Eli. Due to the prolonged winter weather, practice has been cancelled a couple of times. Games start next week! Hope it warms up!!!

Eli (5 years old) visited the ER for the 1st time ever on March 9th. He got his finger run over in the track of the garage door....at his birthday party :( Off to the ER we went....doc super glued the cut shut, put a splint on it and sent us out the door! The finger is healing very nicely. The nail hasn't come off yet, but it will. Eli has done really well with it all! He is also playing soccer and is pretty pumped that his buddies are on his soccer team :) 

Haylee (our cat) is still blind. She is doing well. 

We have had a VERY busy start to 2013! Things are finally starting to slow down (I think). No current deadlines for things.....and I do believe we actually have some Saturdays that are EMPTY on the calendar!!!....for now....

We are teaching the kids to memorize and meditate on God's word. Starting with Psalm 23:

v.1: The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want. 

How sweet to hear the little voice of Jillian speak these words. Probably not fully understanding the meaning yet, but sweet nonetheless. She confidently recites these precious words to receive our praise..... 

If it sounds this beautiful to me, I can't even begin to imagine how AWESOME it sounds to God!

Our God is so good!
