update

hello to all who still check here.I haven't been here for a while!!

 Our house sale fell through because the lady that made the offer didn't really qualify for her loan.She thought she did and went ahead with the offer that we accepted.We got a storage unit,had a huge garage sale and then....boom.No moving.We had to turn all the utilities back on,ect.It was dissappointing but at the same time a relief since I was very close to having a baby.

 Since that time we have just been trucking along doing what we can back in the woods.We moved the bus back there and have spent a few nights there.Very fun and cozy with the wood stove.:)We also had a baby girl on June 12 of last year and named her Ellianna.she is a true joy and adored by her siblings.:)We're also full-force into homeschooling as my oldest is in 2nd grade and her brothers are following right behind her.Kids grow too fast.Enjoy every moment.I can't imagine having a job outside the home.I would miss sooooo much!!!

 I guess that's all I'll write as I have other sites that I write in. www.myspace.com/elijen and www.facebook.com/elijen

The Adventure Begins

 Hello! 

 Yes,we're still alive.Lots happening right now so I can't stay long....

 Our house sold!! Yeeheew! We will be living in a converted school bus in the the woods where we will have solar panels for electricity and I will be doing our wash by hand.We've been talking about this for a long time and now we are acctually able to do it.It's exciting but a little scary too since it's a TOTAL change of lifestyle!! Oh, and the baby is due next weekend so I need to pause from packing to do that!!We close on the house June 1st and then we have to be out by the 10th.I'm thankful that we have family and friends that are able and totoally willing to help us out.This should be fun and a great leaning experience too.I won't deny that there will be days that I won't have the best of attitudes especially in the peak of summer!!But, there will be lots of trips to the creek and lots of creative ways to stay cool born out of this.

  To westernskies,thankyou for your concern about how I"m feeling.I hope your family is doing well.I'm ready to meet our new little one not to mention I'm just ready to be unpregnant !!!

 We won't have internet for a while so I can't check this very often.Just pray for us and the upcoming delivery of our blessing #4.

 Bye for now!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Liam and his cousin Aaron look  Here are a few photos of my kids in front of the tree.Some are silly but that's okay with me:)We're having fun.The older the kids get,the more excited they are about getting presents for others and making things for daddy.We strive to make it more about others while still enjoying and being thankful that ,out of love,friends and family give them gifts.Of course since we're celebrating the birth of Jesus,they reenact the story alot and sing Away in a Manger.Very sweet.:)Here are the pics.all3 by tree

 Javan has his eyes closed but it's still cute.:)
