The Dreaded Stomach Bug!

Monday while I was at work I began to get the awful stomach bug. Thankfully I wasn't throwing up but the other sure made my day a difficult one. Fortunately I was off on Tuesday and was feeling much better. Today I felt great and went to work. I got to the school to pick up my kiddos and low and behold Audrey had a accident. She now has a little stomach something. She has been fine since I picked her up other than she said her tummy hurt just a little bit. I am praying for them all to stay well for the next 2 days as I have to work. We are staying home from church just in case.
The weather is cold but not too bad. It has been in the high 20's. Although it feels cold after having some 40 degree days.
The kids are looking forward to spring break which starts a week from Friday. I am too because I have that time off as well. I am looking forward to spending time with the kids then.
Hope you all are well and healthy!

Weekend News!

I had a wonderful week this week. Right now I am enjoying time with my wonderful children. We are all sitting here on my bed watching the movie Herbie. It is a cute movie and the kids are really enjoying it. What should I be doing right now? Cleaning my house! I will clean my house today but I just can't pull myself away from my kids at this present moment.
Robert is currently at the church helping with some mud and taping. When he gets home I need to be ready since we need to go into Anchorage.
Our weather has been on the warm side. It has been 40-45 degrees with plenty of rain. It has melted alot of our snow. It has almost made it feel like spring but I know better after last year. We can get snow as late as April. I won't believe it until everything is green again here! :) The down side to this kind of weather is it makes everything look kind of blah! When we have lots of snow it is absolutely beautiful.
I hope you all are enjoying your weekend as much as I am. Have a wonderful week!
I am heading off to clean the house now that the movie is over!

Please Pray

I just received a call asking for prayer. A lady in our church has an uncle that has colon cancer. They thought they had gotten it all but tests results are showing the cancer has spread. It is at stage 3-4. He is not doing well and is currently in the hospital. The family is asking for great prayer. I am pryaing for them but am asking that you all assist in praying. Our church is very small but has experienced alot of death lately. I praise the Lord for fellow believers during these difficult times.

Lazy Day

Today has been a lazy day for us. We have just enjoyed being home together as a family. It was very relaxing. The boys got a new game for our Nintendo Wii and have been playing it and having daddy help them figure it out. Audrey has had a headache and went to bed last night with a ear ache. She seemed pretty miserable. Her ear seems better but her head still hurts. I am starting to get a cold and have a headache as well. I am praying it doesn't get worse for any of us. We can't afford to be sick at this time. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend as well.

A moment to reflect

Last night we went to a memorial service for a sweet lady from our church. I don't enjoy funerals and memorial services. She had cancer and it took over her ever so quickly. It seems that I have known so many people with cancer of late. It truly does make me think and reflect on my own life. What will people be saying at my funeral? Will I have been a spiritual blessing to many others? Our lives are but a vapor and we never know when our time will come. It is always a good reminder to me to look at my own life. I really don't know how the unsaved are able to endure the loss of a loved one. Without Christ there is no hope. Last night was a blessing to know we will see our wonderful friend again someday.
Yesterday I had to work. Thankfully I was able to go photgraph at the kids school. They thought it was so cool that the photographer was their mom. They made sure that all their classmates knew this as well! I was done before noon since it was a small Christian School. I had a blast! My job is fulfilling. I was supposed to work today but the school rescheduled.
We are looking forward to the weekend. In fact we look forward to every weekend. The weekend is our time together as a family. The boys and daddy are spending so much quality time together. They have an awesome bond with him. Audrey loves to sit on my bed to snuggle and watch TV. Mommy rather enjoy it as well(even if we are watching cartoons) I thank God for the time he gives me with my 3 wonderful children. Have a wonderful weekend!

What a week this has been

I have found out that with my job I get to kill 2 birds with one stone. I work and exercise all in one! I am sssooo sore today! I spent the whole day yesterday on a camera alone. It was such a blast! But boy, I can hardly walk to today. Getting up and down posing the kids all day has stiffened my legs. I didn't feel it until today. Thankfully I am off today. I so enjoy what I do though. My work has been so awesome about my schedule and are very considerate of my family as well. I couldn't have asked for more in a company. I am exhausted from working so much but it is a good exhaustion. I am going to have to invest in some good quality comfort shoes. Being on my feet ALL day is pretty rough. If any of you have a good suggestion for which brand I should look into please feel free to let me know. I know it will probably be a little spendy but I know it would be well worth it for as much as I am on my feet.
Robert has been working several hours of overtime lately. He is still doing his previous job along with his current position. It is quite a bit of work and keeps him busy. He still feels like it is hard to keep up even with working so many hours. God has been good though. Please pray they fill his old position within a few weeks. It would help him tremendously.
The kids are doing great in school. They are all growing so fast. In fact I had to buy Eric some new pants again. In fact, I felt so bad. He has a pair of sweats that he keeps at school for PE. Come to find out, they only went right below the knee. He fit in them at the beginning of the year. He never wears them at home so I didn't realize he had outgrown them. So he finally has sweats that fit him.
Last weekend Robert took the kids sledding. It was sooo cold. Mommy stayaed home to clean while they were gone. Shortly after they arrived home asking for hot chocolate. They really enjoyed it but it just got too cold.
Every morning this week went I left for work it was -15 degrees. Our highs were in the single digits. We are in the double digits now. (about 10-12 degrees) This actually feels a little warm comparitively speaking. Well, I hope you all have a most wonderful weekend.

Life is Busy

Well, it has been a while since I posted. It is hard to believe we are into the second month of the new year! Things have been busy for us. I have been working some. It hasn't picked up yet. This next week will be busy for me. I have my qualifying day on Tuesday. I am starting to feel a little more confident with the equipment now. I guess Tuesday will be the true test. I know I can do it all ok. It will just be a little nerve wracking having people there to watch every move I make. It will be a good indicator as to what I still need to work on. I can tell I am going to love my job. The training has been a little on the drab side but it is necessary and important for me to learn it all. I am looking forward to being able to photograph kids instead of my co-workers. Adults and children make a huge difference with our sets. The people I will be working with all seem great. God truly has been gracious with this job. Yeah, I am still adjusting to the change. Having been a stay at home mom for so long makes things feel so different now. I am so happy that Audrey absolutely loves school. She seems disappointed on the weekends. She really is learning so much too. She is such a quick learner. It comes easy for her. (for now anyway) Gregory is so proud to have his sister in his class. The kids have enjoyed alot of the changes. In fact, their favorite part is daddy gets to take them to school now on the days I have to work. They didn't even get to see daddy til the night time after work before all the change. It has been humorous to see daddy trying to remember all the school details! :0) He is doing fabulous with it though. I had to laugh the first day dadddy took them to school. I picked the kids up to see Audrey's hair a wreck! haha She said daddy didn't do my hair! I have to say I was not surprised at all! I even expected it.
It is so wonderful to see God working in our family during these many changes. As much as I hate change, change is good thing!(especially for me) I hope that you all are doing just as well. Take care and have the most wonderful weekend!
