A Blessed Weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend! Kristina’s party went well, and I think the kids had a lot of fun. My parents and brother came up and stayed over on Saturday, along with Lance and Carter. (Yes, it was a full house!) The weekend was full of little blessing though, and I am so thankful to God for those who love me! Remember on an earlier blog how I had mentioned that I needed a sewing machine? Well, my mother read that and said I could have her sewing machine. (Heck! I thought the thing was long gone!!) So, Yea! Now we can learn to sew. Kristina is so excited! (And, yes, so am I!) Then my mom wanted to go to the store for a couple of things, so Lance asked that the two of them go together so he could check something out. He came back and we ate dinner, and then he asked if my dad would go with him to pick something up….A computer desk for me!!! For those of you who don’t know, I have had my new computer on the floor. I hadn’t gotten a desk yet. It is such a nice gift, and my back will be oh so grateful to him!! On Sunday, Lance, the kids and I all went to church, leaving all of the dishes behind as I did not have time to wash them before we had to get out the door….You ever notice how hard it is to get to church on time??? I mean, anywhere else, you can get out the door on time, but for some reason, getting ready for church seems to take longer than getting ready to go anywhere else….anyway, sorry for the tangent….I was saying…When we came home, I found a few more blessings….My mom had washed all of the towels, my dad had washed all of the dishes, and my dad and brother were putting my new desk together. That was also a blessing for Lance. =) He was going to put it together for me, but I don’t think it was something he was exactly looking forward to! Anyway, I felt very blessed this weekend! My parents left after lunch, and Lance and Carter left tonight. It was such a nice visit with all of them!
Well, that’s all for now! I have to get up early for a homeschool field trip to the Bug Zoo in Ames. We are leaving at 7:30..Ick!

Carter

Carter-11-is mature beyond his years....so much so that when he does do one of those silly kid things, and you think, "What on earth was he thinking?" You kind of have to step back and say, "Oh, yeah, he's only 11!" He has such a deep love for God and a hunger for the things of God. This is so exciting to see! He is so tenderhearted with his younger siblings even when I know he would rather they go someplace else sometimes. Carter loves history and geography, and wants to be quized on these things often, just for fun! He also loves to build with his legos and play board games. Carter is also very musically talented. He has a beautiful singing voice, and he also plays the piano very well. We can't wait to see what God has planned for him

Kristina

Kristina (will be 8 on January 23rd) is the one most people remember from our family. She is a social butterfly, loves to get involved in anything and everything, and she definitely makes herself known wherever we go. She is very articulate, and has a very strong speaking voice for a little girl. She loves making things, from painting, to sewing, to knitting, to cooking. People who come to our house, will always receive a homemade gift from Kristina. She is also an entreprenuer at heart. her brain is constantly going for business ideas. Currently, she is going to sew and make things and sell them online when she grows up, while her husband is in the field. (I guess she plans on marrying a farmer! LOL!) Anyway, her plan might change by next week, so check back. =) She is so tiny. She only looks like she is about 4 or 5, but she has a huge personality! She also loves music and currently plays the piano. She will be getting a violin for her birthday! This is something she has wanted since she was 3! I can't wait to give it to her!! =)

Jakob

Jakob-5 is full of life! He loves to just have fun, and then some more fun, and so all things.. even work, are fun to him. Jakob is all about the journey, and not so much about the destination. He could care less if he loses a game as long as he had fun plying it. He also loves to do manual work. If you have leaves to be raked, or just about anything that uses his hands, he is right there, and he will work hard for you. He loves to build things with any kind of blocks. He often says he is going to be a builder when he grows up. Jakob also loves football. It makes us laugh because he is so young, but he loves it! He also LOVES his big brother Carter! Since Carter is only here every other weekend, Jakob counts the days from when Carter leaves until he comes back again! He gets so sad when Carter has to leave. Overall, Jakob is a happy guy who loves life! Nothing much bothers him.
