Poop...

I got a good laugh out of this a couple weeks ago. Every now and then she'll say it again, and I can't help but laugh. At least she remembers...and hopefully she'll obey! (*shudders)


Asia always asks to see her poop when I change her diaper. I don't know why, but she does. One day, after letting her see the diaper before wrapping it up, she says:

"I eat my poop."

I was shocked - what exactly do you do?? Laugh while cringing, or try to be serious and explain that that's DISGUSTING and we DO NOT do it.... Well, I landed somewhere in the middle. Between chuckles, I explained that it can make you sick, and we NEVER EVER NEVER eat poop. She continued by repeating my "never ever" with each individual in the family.

So every once and awhile it pops up out of the blue:

"We never ever never eat our poop."
"That's right, we never eat poop..."



Do with this as you will...

A Trip to the Zoo

My parents bought us a family pass to the zoo for an early anniversary present. Last Wednesday the zoo had an "appreciation" day in the evening, for members only. So, we went with my parents. Free dinner and free parking!

Daddy home from work - last day of turn!!!

Look Daddy - berries!

Joel was exhausted - can you tell??

What do you think I am? Stupid? (we get this face a lot...)

Our Plans....

Well... I've been wanting to post an update with our future plans for awhile now, but things have been kind of back and forth as we've been figuring out some of the details:

Joel is planning on going back to school to get his degree in Network Administration. We are in the process of selling our house so that we can move in with our parents while he goes back to school (to help us save money). Until our house sells though, he will only be taking a couple night classes; once the house is sold he'll be going full time, and working. He is also looking for another job for this fall. Painting has been really slow, and honestly, just hasn't cut it for us lately!

Plans for myself, as of right now, are to simply keep doing what I have been doing; stay home and watch the kids! We are both open to me working part time, but thus far, there have been too many complications to work out.

Our end desire is to see the Lord use us with New Tribes Missions in some way, any way, as we know that they are in need of people for Network Administration. Joel is great with computers, and this kind of ministry also leaves openings for him/us to serve in other areas. We are waiting on the Lord's timing for everything to take place, and are looking forward to where He takes us!


Prayer Requests:

*Our house will sell.
*Our car will sell (and that we'll find one with better gas mileage).
*Joel will find a new job, or more consistent hours painting.
*If it's the Lord's will that I can work too.
*That we'll be aware of the Lord's leading in terms of where to live after our house sells.
