What will today bring.....

Good morning! Sitting here drinking my coffee, watching Zech build a robot with his Mega Blocks. This is a new thing he started yesterday, have no idea where he got this idea, but regardless he's having fun doing it. He'll take a break from it to race some cars down a ramp and see which ones make it around a loop. The car his ma and pa got him is by far the fastest!

My goal today, get all things ready for the coming school week. Yes, I am trying to be organized....daytimer, papers in a folder, coffee ready to make, and clothes laid out.

Tom leaves for work after church today...the weekends are just too short! Megan will probably hang out with us today, don't know for sure, she stays pretty social lately. Macey has to work and then starts school tomorrow. The time of seeing her a lot will be over, and then in June 2010, she will be getting married and leaving the home for good.

Well, have a wonderful day.....until next time!

Wow, It's Been Three Months.

No excuse. Three month?! Way too long! I think maybe sometimes you feel like no one looks at your blog, but then again, its really a great way to journal. E-mail seems easier and Facebook is great! Then there's the interuptions.....good ones sometimes, aggrevating ones other times. Regardless, they are interuptions, you lose your train of thought, and then you're over it.

Anyways, so what has the last three months brought our way? Well, we had two other children for about 6 weeks, then the grandmother missed them, and they went back to Nashville. They were missed, but I was honestly thankful to have my Zechariah for myself once again! My life, my completion, my inspiration is doing just wonderful!! He has grown like a weed! Weighs 31.5 lbs now and 38.5 inches tall! He learns something new every day! He started school full time a week ago, we were "testing" him in an IEP meeting and the teacher said "slow down, leave something for me to teach him". I was a proud momma! He knows all his letters, numbers, and shapes. Can count and picks things out when you say "give me three, or the blue one, or the #3, or the letter L"...you get the picture. Anyways, he's a smart cookie! At school he makes sure all the other kids are okay, consoles them when they're crying, etc...

My sister was real sick for a few weeks (she's better now), we went to Michigan to see my Grandma, we swam a lot....which, by the way, Zech is really good at swimming now, we did the Movies on the Square again this year (our 3rd year). Other than that, it was a pretty calm summer.

I hope this post finds all who read it well and wonderful! I'm going to go now and catch up on some blogs that I haven't read lately. It will not be so long next time. I will try to post at least once a week, hopefully more. Take care and God bless!

How things change!!!

Okay, what's been going on with us? Well...a couple weeks ago we were asked if Zech needed a brother...that has a sister. This request came from a relative by marriage whose sister has custody of her 3 yr old grandson and 1 yr old granddaughter. She has been diagnosed with a terminally ill disease. Well, we prayed about it. Talked about it. Asked people for advice, and decided that this was the right thing to do and so, we will do it. We were suppose to pick them up today, but the people who are helping take care of them now are having a really hard time, they asked for one more week. We totally put this in God's hands, so what will be, will be. If God chooses for us to have 2 more children, then we become a family of 7! If he chooses for this to be a time that we help 2 children while their mother gets help, then we will stay a family of 5, but will have been blessed by helping. Sorry to keep everyone wondering, but we have had LOTS to be doing trying to get ready! Oh, I also wanted to note that I spoke with the school and our SW for Zech, and all parties agree that it would benefit Zech. I think they think he might be getting a little too spoiled :)............no way ;) ! So, I can't believe how much my life has changed in 1 year!! Life is Good!

Please Remember this.

I was reading another blog that really touched me. Tom and I are in the process of making a BIG decision, how much more confirmation do we need?!! So, those who wonder why we do the things we do, here are some words for you:

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
'37 Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' Mt. 25:35-40

So many things to update!

Boy, technology is getting complicated!! I have so many websites/blogs now, I don't know how to keep up!! We been working the past couple weeks getting websites up for our businesses and then there is some ning.com community for business, and then there is facebook. All these are great networking tools, but it's so time consuming! Anyways, things have been going great, though Zech and I have been really sick the last week! Today is the first day we both have felt ok. We have had some kind of eye thing going on...not an infection, but our eyes and face have been swollen. I first tried natural, or course...then went ahead and went to the doctor..we went back to natural and are doing better. My scanning device says it's sinus, so that's what I've been treating it as.
Anyways, my Grandma is visiting from Michigan (and my aunt and uncle). She's going to be staying a couple week. Joni and Rich are leaving Monday. We're all going to see my cousins in a play tomorrow, Tom is going to have Daddy day with Zech.
I got Zech's school pictures back, OMG, TOO Cute!! I'll have to see if I can get them scanned into the computer.
I have been looking at possibly getting Zech a service/therapy dog. The more I read, the more I really think it will be good for him. I'll probably just get one and have it trained or train it ourselves. I really would like Rottweiler for him. They are such great dogs!! We'll see. I'll try to post pictures soon, and now that we have are websites up, maybe I'll have more time.

Numbers are too fun!!!

I can't believe it! Zech and I were singing the Numeral Song, while he was holding his drawing board, and he actually WROTE THE NUMBERS 1, 2, and 3!! I was so happy!! I just can't get over how quick he is learning! He can say most of his numbers and shapes, but he can't say his S's and some other sounds. I'm starting to make out a lot more that he's saying....like "Go Get It".....and I did (go figure). Okay, I guess I need to get him to bed...Thanks for listening.
