General Updates with video

Well, not much has changed around here, however more than you can bore people on facebook with! Nevertheless, I'm sure to forget half of what I wanted to say! Either way I should have a couple videos and possibly pictures to make up for the post!

Our renters got a small inheritance, so they paid two months ahead. This resulted in us...drum roll please...paying off our 2nd mortgage! Yippy, we are one step closer to being debt free! We are on track to being completely debt free (except the house) by December. Hopefully we'll have gotten a new job by then and hopefully that will come with a raise and medical! Thank you to those who are also on Facebook for NOT mentioning the job search there--the church as a whole does not know that we are looking. That said, we just applied for a job up in Oak Harbor, WA. I really like the looks of this church, however we are in constant prayer about whether or not it's the 'right' one, though part of that is decided by them! They're accepting applications until April, so we won't know if we made the 'long list' until then, but if we do get it, they want to hire by July! We'll see, keep praying and sending any tidbits our way!

Here is a video clip of Isaiah...as a third child he doesn't get nearly as much one on one 'study' time. Example, we haven't worked on colors or shapes with him more than in passing. So, we were walking around Fred Meyers (Jeremiah & Lilly were in the Playland) and I asked him what a sheep says. Lo and behold, he told me and was correct! Then I asked what a cow says, and this is the response I got (reinacted and interjected with a closed eye smile!)

One of Jeremiah and Isaiah's favorite things to play is doggie. Yup, they crawl around like dogs, panting, barking, begging to be petted. While Lilly assumes the human roll, "No, that's my doggie! Come here doggie." Here is a small glimpse into "Jeremiah the Dog."

I'll have to try and get a cute shot of Lilly soon, as well as Addie actually rolling over! She prefers to roll from her back to her tummy and then gets stuck.

As you can tell, I'm really enjoying my Christmas present from Travis--the internet. It's like I get to talk to my friends, or at least pretend, two to three times a day! Once quickly in the morning, a little longer at nap time, and once in the evening. I feel so free. : ) But now I must get back to reality and laundry! Hope you enjoy the video clips!

Oh yes, we're dedicating Addie on Sunday so I should have some pictures from then soon. : )
