Ok, I know it has been a week, but it has been busy and nothing to write that couldn't wait.....We have been busy, but with fun things....
Kristina had tumbling camp this week at the Y. She had a lot of fun and on Thursday, the last night of the camp, parents were invited to come for a little 15 minute show of what they had been working on for the week. It kinda made me laugh. I swear Kristina was a foot shorter than the next shortest girl in the room. The camp was for ages 6 and up, and Kristina is just so tiny for her age. She had so much fun. I can't wait to get her back into gymnastics.
We also finally got a pool pass. The kids are so excited, and Kristina would stay there 24/7 if you let her. It is only about a mile from here, or maybe only a half mile, so we just load up the bus (double stroller) and go.
Then Friday, Lance came over in the afternoon. We went and got our marriage license, so now it is official. =) Then we went so he could be fitted for his tux. Then, with the errands out of the way, we went to see Wall-E and then out for dinner! Oh, and we also spent some time at the furniture store, getting some ideas. It was so nice to be together for so long! It has been a while since we had a real date! =)
Saturday, because the kids were mad that Lance and I went to Wall-E without them, I took them to see the movie that afternoon. The movie really is good. Very funny! The kids were already asking this morning if we could go see it again.
Anyway, today has been relaxing. Went to church, and then Kristina went to her friends house for a few hours. They live on the lake, and so she went boating and played in the water etc. She had a blast! Jakob took a long nap and I did some research and some catching up on things.
All last week, Lance's parents were at our new house. His father has done a ton of work in the basement so far!! From Lance's descriptions and the few pics I have seen, it is going to look very nice. His mom has been helping out by keeping them fed. =) She is a really awesome cook! It has been sooooo helpful having them there! I have no idea what we would have done otherwise because Lance works such long hours! Oh, and his dad has gotten to know all the neighbors in the neighborhood for us....even those living 2 blocks away It's pretty funny. =)
Our Family
Who we are
- The Naths
- Lance and I are the proud parents of three children, Carter-11, Kristina-8, and Jakob-5. We are a Christian homeschooling family living in Northern Iowa. God has and continues to bless us so much! We are a blended family, and I am in awe and just so thankful for His grace, as He has caused our family to "blend" so well! We place Him above all else because without Him willing it, we can't even take our next breaths.
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.

Can't wait to see pics of your house!!
Yeah, me either! LOL!
Why am I not surprised that Dad has gotten to know all the neighbors? :) LOL I'm so glad they were able to be there to help. Sounds like it was all pretty awful and overwhelming. Glad things are getting fixed up for you all! :)
