This blog has been seriously neglected. I had all sorts of wonderful plans for the New Year and wonderful ideas that I wanted to blog about and so far nothing has come to fruition. So bear with me as we try to get organized, try to deal with a few issues that need to be dealt with and that seem to be taking up all of my time. Hopefully now that we have made a few changes to our schedule, things will settle down a bit.
In the meantime here are a few things that I am gratful for:
1. A New Year, a new start, a new beginning. I love the New Year!
2. New places to explore, a new city to add to the list of 'cities we have lived in'
3. No more 2 1/2 hour drives for me. I love that I am now only 10 min. away from work and that my wonderful hubby drives me and picks me up (we save on parking costs too)
4. My mom who celebrated her 60th birthday. I didn't even get a post up for her, but I will get something done for her..soon...
5. A new to us Heritage house (1910) to live in and call home for a stint. ;o) Although we have a lot of organizing to do, it is nice to have more space and two bathrooms!
6. Finding a new church and feeling like we are beginning to get connected.
7. Friends that care and pray for us.
8. Knowing that God loves me, even when I make mistakes, am not an easy person to 'love' and be around and don't spend enough time with Him.
9. Skyping with family and seeing my little nephew try adn take his first few crawls to get to us on the computer screen! So cute. My kids love seeing their Aunty, Uncle and cousins on the computer.
10. Hearing my littlest try and say the names of her family members.
Ech (Zech)
Annie (Auntie Mel)
Unc Ri (Uncle Cory)
Baba (Grandma)
Those are just a few...
11. Songs sung by little angels.
12. Questions like "Mommy what is your favourite instrument?" (this is what Zech asked me this morning as we drove to work--his by the way is a guitar and he is going to play the guitar and sing--I love this kid!)
13. Confirmation from my 4 year old about what the Bible says.
Zech: Mommy the Bible says that Jesus loves everyone. Mommy the Bible says that Jesus died on the cross to forgive us our sins and He is alive. Mommy the Bible says to obey my mommy and daddy (I love when he says that, now if only I could get him to put it into action a little more).
14. Kisses and hugs from my kids and hearing the words "I love You".
15. Patience, endurance and support from my husband.
On another note, we could really use your prayers for our little Princess. She has had a really bad rash all over her body for a couple of months now. At first we thought it was just exzema and we have tried medicated creams, Aveeno creams, Galaxal based creams, oils, using the humidifier, you name it, but it is getting worse. Now it has spread to her entire body. She is not comfortable and scratches these patches until they bleed. She will also bring the lotion and ask us to put it on. We are having her tested for allergies and we have also been referred to a dermatologist. So please pray that she will be healed and that we can find some answers.

It's good to hear that you're settling in to your new place, new home for now. Commuting is so tough, so that ten minute drive must feel wonderful these days. And what would we do without those fantastic husbands and super sweet little ones at home supporting us through it all. We're praying for Genesis and getting everything sorted out with that rash. Poor girl, that's just no fun.
I'm glad you are getting settled and that you have more space. I can't get over how big your kids are getting and all the things they say - so cute.
Silas had some bad eczema when he was younger and I took him to a homeopath. It was cleared up in less than a month - totally amazing. They gave him a specific remedy for him so if you were to go that route you'd likely have to take her in to see one to see what she specifically needs. Praying for healing for her.
I was just wondering if you had tried the cortisone (sp?) ointment as opposed to the cream. We found it much more helpful!
