A couple pics of the kiddos in Honduras

Early 2006 - at our house in La Ceiba:



No, these aren't her real teeth!

We are all missing Honduras a lot these days!

Just overheard:

Evy was showing Jeshua a boat she made out of LEGOS and Jesh thought it needed a motor. Gently taking the pieces from her he says, "Here's an idea, Evy...and don't worry, its just a suggestion. Okay?"

How sweet is he!?!?

The Work Situation:

In a nutshell, there's only one more week of work lined out for my dear husby. I wonder what God will do!

I always seem to get giddy when life looks uncertain and vague. YEAY!!!! God is most definitely always good, and I choose to rest in Him and praise Him in this!

Yo tengo paz paz paz paz en mi corazon.
Donde?
En mi corazon!
Donde?
En mi corazon!

Yo tengo paz paz paz paz en mi corazon.
Porque?
Porque Cristo me salvo!

Workin it out...

I have somehow managed to get myself into a pathetically unhealthy lifestyle. I seem to be loosing my natural motivation...I'm baffled as to how it happened! So I'm thinking that I might need a nudge from "the public". So I'm going public! (In my hidden lil secret blog, LOL!)

I'm not sure this is going to work, but here's my plan:

I hereby dedicate myself to doing my 15 minute T-Tapp video and walking on my treadmill NO LESS than 5 times a week until February 1st!

I will post on this thread everyday that I do.




So here's my workout record:

Sat. 1/17 - Tapp and tread done!
Sun. 1/18 - NO EXERCISE (and ugly unhealthy food, uck)
Mon. 1/19 - Minimal tapping and treading, ran out of time for more. Maybe later tonight...
Tues. 1/20 - Just T-Tapp. I watched a friend's kiddos today. TIME, I need TIME!
Wed. 1/21 - Babysitting again. Hopefully when V gets home? ~ Uhm, nope! The Vman arrived home to a couch ridden wife with a ragin' throat ache who later was up all night with a puking 10 year old boy.
Thurs. 1/22 - I've treadmilled so far...
Oops, spaced documenting my demise!
Fri. 1/23 - T-Tapped only
Sat. 1/24 - Almost died (k not really) of pain and sickness and exhaustion, didn't do squat
Sun. 1/25 - Recovered from near death experience (k not really)
Mon. 1/ 26 - T-Tapped
Tues. 1/27 - T-tapped...not sure if I should venture walking w/ my lungs being ravaged by mere breathing?

Maybe?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can upload the pics that I finally got OFF my camera and ONTO my external hard drive. I'm happy. :~)

I feel like I live in the bleachers, watching the game of Pain

It is so heart wrenching to watch people I really, *really* love decide to live against God and then scrape through the consequences, bloodied and filthy.

The life of peace and calmness that He has given us brings with it the guilt of knowing that I don't deserve a single good thing.

*Yippee* - *Woohoo* - *Hurrah* and *Yeay*!

ITS SNOWING!!!

Over and over again.

It just makes my heart happy.

The kids have been outside a good chunk of the day - Jesh just came in, always the last one to quit! As I was helping him out of his SOAKED clothes, I pulled off his snowboots and saw his cute toes staring at me. That's right: the child was wearing NO socks. ~sigh~ I swear I made him put them on the first time he went out! Who knows how long he was sockless...

I got a few cute pics of the pirate snowman that we made - I'll pretend like that was the plan, but it was mostly because we couldn't get the second eye to stay and the creativity just ran wild from there! :~D
