We had the opportunity to go to Los Lagos, it is a resort at the base of the Volcano Arenal. While we were there went swimming in their hot springs and enjoyed the cloud forest... from a zip line!!

It was a really excited, fun night... we hung out with friends, ordered pizza, and watched a movie ON OUR WALL:-)! Yes, one of our friends has a projector so we were able to hook it up and have a fun movie night! After that, we watched what was probably the most incredible fireworks that I have ever seen...right above my house...for nearly 3 hours:-). Really, the entire city was setting them off so it was spectacular all around us, but our neighbors bought about 6 large bags full of them and set them off in the park next to our house... it was crazy, loud, and beautiful. And get this... Judah slept through the whole thing! It sounded as though someone was shooting off cannons above our house and yet, he slept:-). </span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object class="BLOG_video_class" contentid="FAILED" height="266" id="BLOG_video-FAILED-0" width="320"></object></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;"><br />

As we were preparing to come to Va. I began feeling very anxious about leaving the kids, them going to school ALL day, and how well they would adjust, make friends, etc… I tried to give it over to the Lord every time it came to mind but ,man, it came to mind a lot! Our Lord cares about the details! Our children have made many friends, have loved going to school, have completely enjoyed living “with” their friends, having church in our house, and are thriving! God is good!!!! The only part they have complained about is getting out of bed too early</span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Handwriting - Dakota';">. I can live with that! We feel the same as they do, everything has been great here, we are really enjoying our time so far. It has been slam packed with things to do, assignments to fulfill, meetings to go to, but the Lord is using this time to work on us and we are extremely grateful. Other than that what can I say… it is beautiful here, we love the people we are with, we love the food that they prepare for us (no grocery shopping or meal planning, yahoo!!).<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: none; tab-stops: .5in;"><br />

We really didn’t expect it to be that rough for him so we have been a little shocked at his behavior, but not totally. He likes school, but doesn’t like to be dropped off… umm yeah, that creates a problem. Please pray for him to begin enjoying it and getting use to it, this will be his life for the next year! He likes his class, his friends, his teacher… he just doesn’t like to be left! So, just keep him in mind please.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: none; tab-stops: .5in;"><br />

We have been blessed to be able to go see sweet friends as well as family. What a blessed, joyful, sad time! It is such a transitional time in our lives, we love it and are saddened by it all at once. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

We went to Chicago from Ky and there are not too many things to see on that trek, but when we started heading even farther north… we were pleasantly surprised. Beautiful countryside! We can now boast that we’ve been as far north as Minnesota, though James still didn’t get to see a moose! What a trip… we have loved every moment</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Chalkduster; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Chalkduster; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Chalkduster; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">.

But when I read it I LOVED it and thought it was completely true and wanted to share.Hope you enjoy it!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Why big families are easier:</b><br />
<br />
<b>Patience.</b> I never have to teach patience. My children know that I can’t drop everything for them if I have a baby in my arms.<br />
<br />
<b>Work Ethic.</b> My children have learned to work because there are always chores to do in a small house packed with little messy lunatics. And they all learn quickly that sometimes they have to clean up a mess even though they didn’t make it.<br />
<br />
<b>Humility.</b> My children have learned it’s not always their turn. They’ve accepted they can’t always get their way because other people have to get their way sometimes. They’ve learned that some children are better at certain things than they are.<br />
<br />
<b>Foreign language skills.</b> You can learn a lot of Spanish by watching ten years of Dora the Explorer that you just can’t pick up in two. And now with the Diego spin off I’m practically fluent.<br />
<br />
<b>Laughter.</b> The children have learned to laugh at the insane non sequiturs of younger siblings. They’ve learned that laughing just feels better when seven people are doing it along with you.<br />
<br />
<b>Competition.</b> Do I really need to go into this? Everything is a competition in big families. The children compete over who reads faster, who drinks their milk faster, who gets to the bathroom first…etc. Everything is a competition and they’re all keeping score.<br />
<br />
<b>Balance.</b> The floor of the front room of my home is a minefield of toys and childhood paraphernalia. Just walking through the room requires great skill and balance. I’m absolutely convinced my two year old will be a favorite for Gold on the balance beam in the 2016 Olympics. (She might have to lay off the cookies a little but I’ll deal with that later.)<br />
<br />
<b>Life isn’t fair.</b> Sometimes you just give it to the baby because you want a little quiet. Not all the time. But sometimes.<br />
<br />
<b>Just say “No.”</b> Being able to say “no” may be the most undervalued skill in this world. The need to be liked is pervasive. The need to be cool even more so. Having brothers and sisters teaches children to say “no” about 143 times a day. It’s a good skill.<br />
<br />
<b>Praying.</b> They learn that nothing beats praying together as a family.<br />
<br />
<b>Nature/Nurture.</b> Having many children has taught me that nature has a lot more to do with who my kids are than nurture. This is helpful, especially when your children misbehave you don’t have to feel bad about it. Just say “Stupid nature!!!” and blame your spouse’s genes.<br />
<br />
<b>Namecalling.</b> You can occasionally call your child by the wrong name and still not be considered a terrible parent. They know who you mean just from your tone. Sometimes if you need something done you can call the wrong name and someone will still show up. That helps.<br />
<br />
<b>Spying.</b> My children have learned that they can’t get away with anything. I have spies who look a lot like them who are willing to drop the dime on them for anything. Even at school I’ve got a child in just about every grade. If they do something I’ll hear. That keeps them nervous. And I like keeping my kids a little nervous.<br />
<br />
<b>Friendship.</b> The children have many friends. They’ve got girly friends, crying friends, fun loving friends, consoling friends, and crazy friends. And they all have the same last name. And they’ll be there forever for each other. No matter what.<br />
<br />
<b>Love.</b> I think my children have learned to love because there are others around them to love and who love them. I honestly can think of no better way to teach children to love than siblings.<br />

I really didn't know what else to call it though and as I stated in my previous post, I am tired:-). Some of you have been following along every step of the way and some have given up long ago. Well, who could blame them! We have been trying to get overseas permanently for about 7 years now:-). <br />
Things are looking up though:-). We are scheduled to be appointed as missionaries in March. Two weeks later James will pack his stuff and say goodbye to his co-workers... then we get to the fun stuff. Crating. Oh, crating. I have spent hours thinking of what we should take and what we should leave. Have made many lists. Have lost much sleep. Okay, maybe not missed much sleep but it really feels like I could:-). I think I have it worked out and have made the "final draft" of the list. Now, we have a section of the living room marked off in order to see if the things we want to take will actually fit into the space we are allotted. Oh the joy! Really, though, this is a joy I could do without! Though I am thankful they let us take some things, I wish they would just decide and pack it for me:-). Wouldn't that be nice! <br />
Back to the schedule. IF everything goes according to plan(how often does that really happen?) then we will leave KY in the middle of March to visit friends and family! Then, at the end of April we will be going to orientation/training for 8 weeks in Va. After that, we head out to Costa Rica for a year in language school. Then, we will finally be ready to go to Ecuador! Yes, you saw correctly... I said Ecuador. See what I mean about "plans". They have changed our job and actually we couldn't be more thrilled about it. The area we will be going to is one that we visited while we where in Ecuador almost two years ago. When we were there we both thought how we'd love to go to that area, but there was no work going on there at that time. But isn't God's timing amazing! There are so many incredible things that have fallen into place in the last few weeks that I don't have time to list them all, but perhaps one day... <br />
Until then... be encouraged,God knows every detail of every situation you may find yourself in. He knows your worries even before you do... He also knows how things can best be worked out so that in the end He will receive the glory for it. May it be so in your life, through exciting times... and not so exciting times. May you continually give Him praise, and honor, and glory!! <br />

I really do think about updating more than once a month but then my head hits the pillow and I am OUT! I have NO good excuse... I sleep all night(most nights), not pregnant, not nursing, just tired:(. If there is anything that i don't like it's being tired. It's not fun, it drags me down. I think it is the lack of sunshine here... really, isn't that strange? I feel totally unmotivated when I don't see the sun. It's a terrible way to be... especially when you live in an area of the world where the sun does not seem to show itself often. Oh well, enough of that! Here are a few more photos from our TX trip... <br />
<br />
It is tradition to hike the canyon down to the park and feed the ducks:-). So we did this about three times while we were in NB. Loved every minute!<br />

That lovely tree with all of the big birds on it is part of what they call " Vulture Island"... there also happen to be a large colony of water rats living there at the park(nasty vermin). My father-in-law feeds them... they eat right out of his HAND!!! Just can't bring myself to try that!<br />

Unfortunately, the weather was cold and raining much of the time we were there! But we did happen to have a few decent days and were able to play and explore...<br />

We had a lot of fun hanging out and acting silly. And in case you are wondering where Zoe' girl was, wonder no more, she was at a retreat! She had a fabulous time! It was her first time away from all of us and we missed her but were so happy that she was able to participate in it!<br />
<br />
Sorry the posts have been a bit on the uninteresting side lately! I think I am still trying to get our lives back together after having such a long, wonderful vacation! It has been a rough week and a half back! The kids are finally beginning to mellow a bit, but I think it won't last very long! We only have 6 weeks left in KY and then we head out for South America! Woohoo!! It has been a long time comin':-). I am tired from the most recent trip though, and so thinking of ALL that needs to be done before we leave makes my head spin! The Lord is good though and I can see a small amount of progress each day... thanks to you guys who have been and are still praying for us! <br />
That will have to be all for now, I think Judah will wake up soon and man has he been needy!Tiemanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10423398108026104661noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876279449791277281.post-69942678087543979432010-01-25T09:32:00.000-08:002010-01-25T09:32:17.057-08:00Late PostsI know these are late but... well, you know what they say:-).

We have been in TX, with limited access to fast internet... and at some places, any internet! We were there for almost 4 weeks! Hard to believe it is over and we are now having to re-adjust to the relatively normal life again! Because my time is limited right now, I am going to do a mostly photo post to show you what we've been up to... beginning with the pre Christmas preparations:<br />
such as playing at the park...<br />

Well, actually I took a LOT but only a few turned out to be anything I would consider. I love certain elements of each of these but can not decide on one in particular to use for our Christmas cards. I need help... so, I am asking you guys to make the decision... if you read this blog you are entitled ,no, obligated to give an opinion! So, let me know which one you like best:-)...<br />

By the way, it was about 27 degrees outside this particular day! They did fabulously, though we did have to take a few breaks to thaw out:-).Tiemanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10423398108026104661noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876279449791277281.post-43746641033011129412009-12-03T19:19:00.000-08:002009-12-03T19:20:35.156-08:00Popcorn StringsOur kids LOVE to do crafty things... I believe they must have acquired this gift from their Mimi or their father since I have not a crafty bone in my entire being:-). Perhaps I am exaggerating a bit :-). Still, I find it amazing that they love to make things the way that they do... they LOVE it!<br />
<br />
So, to decorate the tree they way they like to (with homemade crafty things, remember?) we make popcorn strings. It is a TON of fun... and usually a bit messy as well:-). These two things tend to make the perfect combination for a really nice craft!<br />

But since moved into to this neighborhood we have taken them out every year. This neighborhood is filled with elderly folks who love to see little kids dressed up, begging for candy. What a great time to chat with our neighbors! This year we had friends that went along with us, it was freezing but we had a blast!<br />

So, I took him in to see the surgeon that took out the last bit and he was not happy. I mean he was happy to see us, just not under those circumstances. He looked Judah over and agreed that his cheek appeared to have some form of debris still in it... then we started talking a second surgery. I was prepared that day. The Lord had prepared me that morning and prompted me to pack a few things "just in case". He had let me in on it this time:-).<br />
James was still at work and amazingly this was the first day in the in the whole pay week that he had received ANY sort of work(he works on commission, so when the work comes he had better be there to do it or no check:-). So, I told James to stay at work... we need to eat:-). The Lord provided that day, in more ways than one!<br />

Once again, He showed Himself faithful to provide for our EVERY need. We are so thankful!<br />
<br />
When the doctor came in to talk to me after the surgery, he brought with him this lovely stick! I could not believe that it had been in Judah's poor chubby cheek this whole time! And now he will have a permanent dimple to remind us of this incident and of God's provision through it :-). I love dimples...<br />

<br />
This will be a fun memory one day... at least, that's what they tell me:-).<br />

<br />
Most folks know what happened but for those that do not I will share. <br />
<br />

We went for a hike out at Bernhiem Forest, Tuesday before last, and not even ten minutes after we GOT THERE he fell onto a clump of sticks. Not just a pile of sticks, but a clump of sticks that looked like they used to be a bush and someone sawed the bush part off, leaving the sticks there, poking out of the ground, just waiting for little boys to fall on:-). And so, that is what Judah did. He fell on them.<br />
<br />

James picked him up by the back of his shirt and lifted him OFF of the pile of sticks. He had a puncture wound on the cheek and a few scratches... didn't look to bad. So, we cleaned him up, brushed him off, and told him to walk it out... no, not really. <br />
<br />

We didn't tell him to walk it out, but we did not treat it like it was a big deal because we did not think it was a big deal. That is, we did not think it was a big deal until the next day, when it turned red and started swelling.<br />

We called the dr. and she was not in that day. No biggy, we called the minor emergency, 3 hour wait with swine flu people and most of them were saying that we really needed to go to a children's hospital if we were going to see someone that night. This would make our 3 hour wait into a 5 hour wait. YIKES! We decided to wait till the next day when we could see our own pediatrician. I brought him in around 12:30 on Thursday, by this time I could not even talk about taking off his shirt or put on his jacket. He screamed at the mention of it. He would not let anyone even go near his face, or his mouth. As soon as the ped. walked in she gasped and said I would have to take him to the hospital and that we were looking at surgery. I/we had no idea it was THAT bad... we did not even think an infection could get so bad that fast! She could not believe it either and sent us straight to the children's hospital downtown. She said to expect to be there a few days, don't take time to go home... this did not sound good to me:-(. <br />
<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />
</span></span><br />
All the way down there I was trying to think of everything that needed to be done and wondering if they would need to cut my two year olds face open. If so, would they mind going through the inside of his mouth so as NOT to leave a huge scar on his cute two year old cheek:-)? Where would the other kids stay? How would James get home?(We had sold his car only a few days before)Could we work it out so that Jonah could still go to his friends birthday? Would I be able to find a parking spot relatively close to the hospital? Parking a 12 passenger van downtown is no picnic! How could I get the things I needed from home in order to make it for a few days? I NEED my toothbrush!! I really felt overwhelmed and helpless to do all that "needed" to be done to make this happen and felt like it was a lot to ask James to jump in and do everything. And my phone was dying:-(.<br />
<br />
It was fine though, I did not need to ask James to jump in and take over. God had already arranged everything:-).<br />
<br />
So, I called James and told him what was going on and to pray for this situation. We discussed the details and he told me not to worry, that he would handle it. When I hung up I really prayed for God to show His faithfulness in this. And He did. I called a few friends to ask for their prayer for Judah, I knew it would be a long night for him, they offered their homes for our children as well! James called back a few minutes later saying he was on his way home to get the other kids and take care of them. Someone at work loaned him their car! He was able to take Jonah and all the other kids to the birthday party, pack Judah and me a small bag(with things I did not even think he would think of, but that I would love to have!) he even took the kids to our friend's house to stay the night... he had packed them up too!! Meanwhile, I drove downtown and began looking for a parking spot. I cannot fit into a garage, the van is too tall! The Lord provided a parking space right across the street from the hospital! Amazing!!<br />
<br />
So, they set Judah up with an iv and started antibiotics. He did not actually get into surgery until about 7:30 and that is the exact moment that James walked in! A bit too late to see Judah but that was okay. It was the first time that one of our kids has gone into surgery and James wasn't there to pray with them before. It was sad, and a little scary for me, but it was okay. God is good. Judah was fine. And they did not have to make a large incision after all.<br />
<br />
The doctor came out after the surgery and said that the stick had not merely punctured the skin, as we initially thought, but it had gone all the way up to the temple and left debris there. This was why it became so infected so quickly. He thoroughly cleaned out EVERYTHING in that side of Judah's face and put him on some really strong antibiotics. He was doing well the next day and so, they decided to let him go home that afternoon! Praise the Lord!He has done fine this week and continues to heal. His face is still sore and the wound leaks a little now and then, but he is doing a lot better!<br />

<br />
God is good, He provides, He is a God of DETAILS, and He is in control... I don't have to be! What a sweet relief!! I loved this little lesson because of what it means to me as we are about to leave the country. I am always trying to think ahead especially when it comes to the kids. I want to be prepared for things like this and this one totally blew me out of the water. NOT PREPARED AT ALL! But God showed me through this that I don't have to rely on myself for even the little things, and even in a country where everything is readily available, that doesn't mean that things will be predictable. He cares for my kids/husband/self/situation when I am helpless to do anything about any of it.<br />
<br />
May He be glorified!!<br />
<br />
BTW, my phone did not die until we got home from the hospital:-).Tiemanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10423398108026104661noreply@blogger.com4
