Below are a few updates on the kids, as it is our real first update for a blog. We'll see if I can actually keep it up though. We have many exciting moments, I just don't know whether I'll remember to blog them all or not.
Caleb is always a happy boy, but definitely likes to know what the day's plan is, and when he can play sports. That and having food in his hand - he's definitely growing.
Cadence is now two ( I haven't even thought of updating birthday parties...). Anyway, Cadence is a ball of joy, and I'm trying to soak up her childish looks and gibberish thoughts. She brightens each room and now that the other kids are older, they sometimes squabble on who gets to peek in her door first each morning as she gives the best bear hugs with wrap around legs.
The older girls have discovered an enjoyment of American Girl dolls and novels. They have used their piggy banks to purchase clothes and have many imagination moments discussing their dolls' adventures. Kianna with Jennifer, Cassia with Courtney and Kalyssa with newest birthday doll Mia.
This year Kianna is in Grade 4 and loving her piano classes. She's an excellent student and we think a positive leader at school. Cassia has now been without her two front teeth for 2 months. I'll miss her smile when they grow in. She's thoughtful and loving to kids on the playground and is showing eagerness in developing her reading abilities. Kalyssa is staying at home and likes to be the big sister. She adores Macy and Elena and loves to sing and dance. Lately though I can see her enjoying Cadence as a playmate. I have been workign a fair bit lately, so she's also growing an attachmetn to my Dad, Papa.
Adam and I have been too busy this Fall. Busy, but still a good busy. Late in the summer we began serious job hunting. Currently Adam only has half time work, so the both of us have been busy seeking supply work. We continue to pray for a permanent position and have faith that what's meant to be will happen and that God is leading. We have so many blessings and can't stress about the job, for it would definitely affect our home. We try to stay focussed on our many blessings, one being the health and happiness of our chidlren, and know that the reat is in His hands.
As I write, I'm enjoying the quiet moment of sitting still. In our home there aren't too many of these moments, as each child likes to be heard in their own way, so I often seek solitude of my own, but then realize if it's too quiet, something is usually wrong.
Today we had an enjoyable Sabbath. Church, lunch with Russell, Kelly, Keaton and Rylea, a hike at Enniskillen with church families ,and ending with fruit, popcorn and worship at Dana and Jim's. I could repeat today any time. Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend.
Oh, Caleb had his first hockey moment this past week. Now he repeats..."How many more sleeps to Friday Hockey?" We're thankful that the school has a program that Caleb can be involved in. He really enjoys it.
