Posted by Hannah Rae on Mar 14, 2011 in Life in the Stubborn house Dear Son, Today you turned 18. We made it! All those nights of crying over you, praying over you, and convincing you and ourselves that we would not give up have paid off. We made it! I am thankful to say that every day gets better. Who knew that when I was only 8 years old, you were created in your mother’s womb, and one day you would be MY son? God did. Who knew that a summer teaching job would lead to the promised motherhood I had been hoping for? Who knew that what the world might see as a random meeting, a random conversation, an odd connection, God would use to make a family, and bring hope to a hopeless child? God did. I remember that conversation on that cloudy mountain. I remember your tears and your verbalized hopes and fears for the future. Who would take a chance on a 15 year-old boy who had already been deemed a lost case by the ones he called his parents for 13 years? Who would dare or risk to love a damaged adolescent when he would age out soon enough? God would. We would, because he brought you to us. And you are becoming a man; growing every day in ways that neither you nor we expected; surprising us in the best ways. Bumps are just bumps, and no longer Mount Everest. Son, I appreciate you so much. You are a hard worker and such a big help to your mama. (And yes, I am freaking out that I am 26 and am experiencing the first pangs of empty nest syndrome!) You are cuddly when you need to be, and strong when it matters most. I feel safe with you around because I always know that you will step up if I need you. What I want for you this year is to see you grow into the man that your heavenly Father has called you, created you, and named you to be. I am praying that God will reveal that vision that He has for you to you so clearly that every step you take is toward Him and what He has for you. I want to see you continue to be brave and allow God’s healing to flow in you. I want you to realize and BELIEVE what an amazing, resilient, and intelligent son I have. My precious Yishai, I love you. I am so glad that God brought you into my life. I am so glad that you are my first born, and I am so blessed to be called your mama. You are truly my gift. Love forever, and ever, Your Mama Leave a comment | | Tags: Adoption, Being set apart, Family Traditions, parenting, prayer, RAD, The SAHM Adventure Posted by Hannah Rae on Jan 28, 2011 in Life in the Stubborn house I love a good discussion with intelligent people who actually listen, process, and then share their thoughts and opinions. Two such discussions with good friends have got my mind and heart pondering again. Do I really trust the Lord with my fertility? Do I really believe that my husband’s and my baby-making is a faith issue? Yes to both. Do I trust? Well, I try to, and most of the time I succeed, although the current, and seemingly ongoing baby boom on over charge happening in my friend community challenges that on a daily basis. It makes it difficult to truly know that my God is God, even over my ovaries. My Friend, JP, says that our planet is over populated, which I think he needs to do a little more research into, but all I know is that God not only gave us sperm and eggs, but he directs their course. I 100% believe that. There is no person ever conceived or born that God did not know or desire to be here. If I don’t believe that, then I could be led to believe that my boys were simply mistakes because their mothers did not have access or knowledge of birth control. My boys are not mistakes, accidents, or anything of the like. God intended them to be here, regardless of the unfortunate circumstances of their arrival, due to our sinful, fallen world. Just as my boys conception in their mothers’ wombs were not a mistake, also the lack of conception in my womb is not a mistake. God knows what He is doing, even when I have absolutley NO CLUE! Blessings! Hannah Leave a comment | | Tags: Being set apart, infertility, marriage, prayer, the hard stuff Posted by Hannah Rae on Jul 7, 2010 in Life in the Stubborn house Well, let’s see. 2 boys with attachment issues + 2 weeks with Mom – Dad = Yeah….. We are leaving tomorrow for 2 weeks house-sitting for my daddy. Hubby is not able to come with. Both boys have been very Hubby-needy lately regardless of the trip. Jeremiah especially has been trying to sabotage all day. For the moment, we’ve got things somewhat regulated and the fears and lies called out for what they are. It will be a long night. It will be a long two weeks. Praying that I’m wrong. Praying for wisdom and patience. It’s hot. I’m hormonal and missing my hubby. Praying for patience and grace. Even hoping for JOY! Still no date for Jeremiah. Urgh. Blessings! Hannah Leave a comment | | Tags: Adoption, behavior challenges, family fun, marriage, parenting, prayer, RAD, The SAHM Adventure Posted by Hannah Rae on Jun 1, 2010 in Uncategorized Not sure really how to explain this. It may sound arrogant, or horrible. Not sure. I’ve been realizing the past couple of weeks that I’m not perfect. Really. I know you all know I’m not. And I’ve known it too. It’s just that sometimes I feel like this life is all a movie playing out in front of me, and that if I just follow the script, or push the right buttons things will just turn out right. Play out the way that they are supposed too. I suppose my belief in God, my faith, has added to this strange concept for me. My husband has said of me recently that I am oddly covered with an amazing grace for others. I don’t get offended too easily, because….well…actually I don’t understand it. People who are close to me have said and done some pretty horrible things to me, but I am usually, oddly unphased. Usually. I should be mad. Crazy hurt, mad. But I’m not. I’ve been working on this post for 3 days now. I am still not quite understanding what my heart wants to get out. I explained to Hubby that it’s like every part of who I am is being challenged, and I feel like I’m losing each and every challenge. In my heart, it feels like this: Wife- Failing. Don’t know why I feel this way except that my hubby is incredibly stressed out and I am helpless to help him. Mother- Failing. I’ve been losing my temper much more often than I prefer. I read how things are supposed to be done, and know quite clearly that I don’t measure up. Woman- Nope. Still can’t make those babies. I realized today that I haven’t had a cycle in two months now. Great. Yup. Can’t even do that. (Sounds silly, doesn’t it. Oh well. That’s how hearts work sometimes.) Sister- Failing. I don’t know my role in my sister’s life lately. It’s so complicated. Daughter- Besides being WAY to far away, and seemingly helpless with all the drama and trauma that’s been occuring recently, this is the one area I at least understand how to be. Worshipper- Yup, been failing at that too. My faith and reliance in God is probably the strongest that it’s ever been, simply out of necessity. But my discipline SUCKS! I keep WANTING to do more, pray more, read more. I want to study and memorize and soak. I can’t seem to get out of the Psalms, and the same ones over and over. Not that that’s bad, but I want MORE. Even in my ambition to train up the boys, I’m failing. I can’t rely on my memory forever. Especially not lately. I’m so tired, and worshipping my Lord, which should be the most essential, energizing thing, seems to be the thing requiring the greatest energy and strength. Can’t do it. Not well at least. So now I will be teaching in the fall. Kindergarten and preschool to be precise. And I’m terrified. This is a gift that God has clearly given me since I was a little girl, and now I’m terrified that this part of my identity too will be challenged, and that I will fail. Miserably. Then what will I have left? See, there’s where the whining comes in. Good days. Bad days. I understand that they will comes as they will. I just need to push through this wall somehow. Somehow. Blessings!

God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. Even when my father-in-law loses his job, and his business, after his house burns down. God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. Even when my step-daddy has a heart attack while on the road. God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. Even when my sister-in-law gets in her first car accident. God reigned over the nations; God was seated on his holy throne. Even when my boys’ birth mothers chose to drink while pregnant. Even when they were abandoned….again…and again… God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. Even when my body fails me and I don’t feel like a real woman. God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. Even when I don’t know if I can handle another rage, or another lie, or another wish that I was not their mom. God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. Because. Because. Lord, you say that you know the plans you have for me, and that those plans are to prosper me, and not to harm me. You promise that you have plans to give me hope and a future. You promise, Lord, that when I call upon you, that you will answer me. That when I seek you with all my heart, I will find you.** I know that, Lord. I do. But I claim that for my family right now. Especially for my precious father-in-law and step-dad. You love them so much. I claim them for you. Right. Now. Touch their hearts. Be their strength when they run out. Be their healer. Be their peace. Be their God. Let it be. Blessings! Hannah **from Jeremiah 29:11-12 Leave a comment | | Tags: faith, prayer, the hard stuff Posted by Hannah Rae on May 5, 2010 in Life in the Stubborn house First, some good news. Got an important call from an important State Trooper saying that an important legal matter of Gabe’s was being dropped. YAY! Thank you for all of you who were praying, even when you didn’t know what you were praying about. Jeremiah has his first baseball game tomorrow. YAY! I am beyond excited….for him….and for me. I’m just loving being able to say “That’s my son!” He’s really doing well, and I’m hoping this is something he falls in love with and succeeds at. He needs some succeeding. Unfortunately, we are in horrible need of rain, and it looks like God will be answering our moisture prayers tomorrow night. YUCK! Yay, God for the rain! I’m just hoping it comes the rest of the day, and stops around 5:00. Now. What to do with a certain 17-year-old’s bad attitude. An attitude that has recently earned him 4 extra weeks of restriction. We saw something very similar happen last spring, so we are thinking possible trauma-versary. I’m just hoping that we can reach his heart before this goes too far. And if you are praying, and I hope you are, please be praying that Jeremiah’s subsidy paperwork comes through ASAP. His consent to adoption came through 2 weeks ago, and Gabe’s consent and subsidy came through, like, 6 weeks ago, so we are just waiting on Miah’s. Our adoption worker 3.0 is bugging the worker incessantly, so I’m hoping we hear any day now. Only 3 weeks of school left. Huh? Okay. Gotta figure that out too. Blessings! Hannah Leave a comment | | Tags: Adoption, behavior challenges, Education Everywhere, faith, family fun, parenting, prayer, RAD Posted by Hannah Rae on Apr 19, 2010 in Life in the Stubborn house - I am currently Listening to this song by Emerson Hart cuz a dear friend wanted to pass the message on to an old flame. I’ve only broken up with someone twice, and one of the men is now my husband, so the sentiment is not the same, but I can see why the lyrics rung so deeply with him. - I was delightfully surprised today when a box arrived containing a W!!. Hubby knew I’ve been wanting one for a long time, especially the W!! Fit, which he got for me. YAY! I only played for a total of 47 minutes today and already burned about 400 calories, and it was so much fun. I also found out that Jeremiah has been playing it quite a bit at school, and that he CHEATS! HORRIBLY!!! - I had even MORE fun playing catch with my sons in the back yard today. After two very chilly, windy days it was finally warm enough to play outside. Jeremiah is starting in Little League for the first time, so we needed to get some catch practice in. He is so naturally gifted in everything athletic. I played fast and slow-pitch softball for 11 years growing up, and I was fairly good, so I really enjoyed showing him the ropes. I was excited when I found out that even after about 6 years of not playing at all, it came back pretty naturally. Gabe did a fabulous job of not making himself the center of attention, which is something we’ve been struggling with lately. He encouraged Miah, but let me take the lead. Not one instance of know-it-all syndrome. Gabe even played catcher for us while I taught Miah to pitch. He really could be a pitcher if he wanted to be. I think he could be any position, but he has really good accuracy in his throwing, so short stop or pitcher might be a good fit. We’ll see. He’s never played in a league before, but because he is already so good at hitting, catching, and throwing, the head coach put him in the Majors. - The pups are 4 weeks old now, and their personalities are bigger than they are. I am so blessed that we have found homes for all of them already. 2-3 more weeks before they will go to their new homes. - The only thing I DON’T like about the W!! Fit is that it tracks BMI. I HATE BMI!!!! Even my amazing nutrition professor in college told me that BMI is a bunch of HOOEY and that it has absolutely no accuracy in indicating someone’s health. The stupid thing placed me at 36, which is at the top of their obese scale. Now, I admit I am overweight, and my goal weight is to lose about 50 lbs, but I am NOWHERE NEAR MORBIDLY OBESE! I am 6’1″ and have a large frame, and the stupid thing says that my goal weight is 166 lbs. Yeah. I weighed that when I was 16 and ANOREXIC! You could see my ribs and collar bone for goodness sake. My sister Rachel, who is 5’10 and…well…a little more than 166 lbs would be considered overweight by this thing. MY GORGEOUS, THIN, ACTIVE SISTER. So, that’s my rant about BMI, and the only thing I don’t like about the W!! Fit. - I read this awesome post by Goggy about the uniqueness of the journey of the infertile couple, especially when they adopt. It really touched my heart and rang true with me. I will probably reflect more on that another time. - The pups have been getting so much attention lately, I didn’t want my beautiful Juji bird to feel left out. So here is my beautiful Juji eating her favorite food, corn. She actually loves to pose, and as I am writing this she is cuddling with my cheek. She’s such a joy, and a BIG trouble maker. Yesterday she hopped down on the floor and raced across the living room (with her famous crow hop) simply to attack Hubby’s feet. What a lovable stinker. - Both my boys love video games, but especially Jeremiah. He has been willing to do just about anything, including breaking and entering, to get just a few minutes of screen time. At bed time tonight he asked me I enjoyed playing my new game today. I told him that I had a lot of fun, but I had even more fun playing baseball with him. His eyes lit up and asked “Really? Why?” I told him that no video game could ever replace how much fun I have playing with my sons. He thought that was pretty cool, and because I know how much he loves video games, I know it meant a ton to him. In his prayers after that, he even called me his favorite Mommy. Awww. - Be praying for both boys, as I know many of you do. Jeremiah is struggling every day with some major flashbacks, and his tantrums have been very violent and self destructive lately. Pray for his safety and that God’s peace and healing would reign over his mind, body, and spirit. He also had some blood work today to test his plalette levels as he’s been bruising really easily lately. A simple tickle fight leaves bruises on his ribs. It may just be his fair skin, but we wanted to be sure. They also checked his De*acote levels, as he’s been growing a ton and his doctor is concerned that it might be having an effect on these mood swings we’ve been seeing. - Gabe is in some legal trouble right now that he needs lots of prayer cover for. Can’t go into details, but please pray for his heart and that God uses this as a character building time, and a time for us to speak life into him. - Oh, YAY! Hubby is home for the next COUPLE OF MONTHS! SERIOUSLY! NO TRAVELING! It’s already making a huge differerence with the boys AND with Hubby. He’s so much happier now. YAY! That’s a huge answer to prayer. Not to mention I happen to kind of like the guy, and the extra hugs and kisses have been a huge mood booster for me. Okay, enough bullets. I hope you enjoyed the update. I’m hoping that the beautiful weather will put me in writing mood this week. I have a lot on my heart, it just needs to make it’s way to my fingers. Blessings!

God is healing in a mighty way, but it’s the stripping away to get at the root kind of healing, and it hurts. It reminds me of Eustace, being stripped of his dragon-ness by Aslan’s claws. Deep, penetrating, painful, Euphoric, cleansing, freeing. God, my Father God, makes and is making all things new, and we must be ready for the journey. He’s calling us to come further up and further in, So here we go. Here we go. With Psalm 27 and Psalm 32 in our hearts and on our lips. Here we go.

Hannah Leave a comment | | Tags: faith, prayer Posted by Hannah Rae on Dec 29, 2009 in Life in the Stubborn house Tomorrow I get my blood drawn to test hormones and such. I have to take the boys with cuz Rachel has to work. I’m hoping we can have a pleasant day and that Miah will hold it together long enough to let me have some fun with him. I just found out that another friend is pregnant. If you’re keeping track, that’s….. A LOT! I’m trying to not get emotional about it, but it’s not easy. Hubby Person has no idea what to do or say. I’m still praying for his heart in this matter as well. We have implemented an additional motivational plan to help remind Jeremiah to tell the truth. I’m hoping it will work for more than 1 day. Gabe is having a hard time taking responsibility for his actions, but that is a battle we are always fighting. He actually told me what was bothering him tonight, which is a miracle in itself. I’m trying to learn to praise him more, because he really is doing well right now, we are just working on detail stuff. God is working on my heart something serious. I’m not sure right now what His voice is speaking to me, but I’m trying to hear Him. I want to know His heart so badly. YAY! Daddy, Step-Mama, and Lil’ Sis are coming TOMORROW! They were delayed by the big blizzard, but they are finally able to come. YAY! The boys, especially Jeremiah, are incredibly excited. Now I have to figure out what I am going to cook this week.

Posted by Hannah Rae ar 26 Aibreán, 2011 i Saol sa teach stubborn Chickies! Is é seo an lá a thug muid iad a thabhairt abhaile. Bhí siad chomh beag bídeach. Pe breá léi chickies. Seiceálann sí orthu go rialta agus tá sé le fáil go minic atá suite go síochánta in aice leis an bhosca. Tá brón orm faoi na súile creepy. Ní raibh Fiú súil dhearg remover aon ní a dhéanamh. Ach tá sí den sórt sin cailín deas. (Gabh mo cairpéad cistin gránna. Ewww!) Tá siad ag fáil chomh mór! Agus ceann go háirithe, a bhfuil mé ainmnithe "Henrietta," i ndáiríre cróga agus bhí sé ag léim ar bharr a n-waterer agus ansin as an mbosca. Mar sin, bhí orainn iad a bhogadh chun rud éigin níos mó. Tagann Hubby ar iontach, ró-tógtha bosca i handy arís! Má tá tú ag cuimhneamh, thóg sé ar dtús é do puppies Zoe ar earrach seo caite . Hubby áitíonn go bhfuil an samhradh seo beidh muid ag dul isteach i linn snámha. Sílim go mbeadh a tub te a bheith níos oiriúnaí. Pe seiceáil amach an chickies chun a chinntiú go bhfuil siad ceart go leor sa bhaile nua. Ceann de na rudaí a rinne mé ó lá na chickies tháinig bhaile beatha iad síol lín de láimh. Ba mhaith liom iad a bheith mar lámh-chairdiúil agus is féidir. SO shíl mé go mbeadh Jeremiah taitneamh a bhaint as a thabhairt dó iarracht. Dúirt mé leis go mbeadh sé bhraitheann greannmhar. Bhí sé ionadh i ndáiríre mar cé go láidir pecked siad. Bhí sé cinnte roinnt dents ina lámh nuair a bhí sé ar fud, ach an chickies taitneamh as cinnte féin. Tá beagán de suas go dlúth blurry. Is é sin donn beag amháin a chur in ionad tar éis a fuair bás ar ár chickie littlest toisc nach mbeadh sí ithe. Poor chickie. Is é an ceann nua beag skittish, ach sláintiúil. Agus i gcás nach bhfuil tú mo chara ar FB, is iad na hainmneacha chickies Henrietta, an, mór brave, ar cheann cuddly; Penelope, an lú, ceann cutest, i ómós do mo neacht; Camilla, an cailín eile mór an ghrúpa atá ag Tá téamh ar deireadh suas le liom; Eloise, Lucy, agus Matilda, a bhfuil fós le sannadh. Is é seo an Henrietta. Tá sí cinnte an ceannaire, ach tá an-milis agus milis, agus is cosúil photogenic. Geallaim, beidh tú tinn de pictiúir cearc go luath. Tá mé díreach tar éis buíoch ionas go bhfuil sé ag dul chomh maith go dtí seo. Beannachtaí! Hannah Fág nóta tráchta | | Tags: Homesteading , na critters Posted by Hannah Rae ar 19 Aibreán, 2010 i Saol sa teach stubborn - Tá mé ag éisteacht faoi láthair leis an amhrán ag Emerson Hart cuz cara daor theastaigh chun pas a fháil ar an teachtaireacht ar aghaidh go dtí an lasair d'aois. Tá mé briste ach amháin suas le duine faoi dhó, agus ceann de na fir anois m'fhear céile, agus mar sin nach bhfuil an meon an céanna, ach is féidir liom a fheiceáil cén fáth lyrics bhualadh sin go mór leis. - Bhí mé iontas delightfully inniu nuair a tháinig bosca ina bhfuil W!. Hubby Bhí a fhios agam gur mian leo amháin ar feadh i bhfad, go háirithe an W! Fit, a fuair sé dom. YAY! Bhí mé ach ar feadh iomlán de 47 nóiméad lá atá inniu ann agus cheana féin dóite thart ar 400 calories, agus bhí sé spraoi sin i bhfad. Fuair mé amach freisin go bhfuil Jeremiah ag seinm sé go leor le beagán ar scoil, agus go cheats sé! Horribly! - Bhí mé fiú NÍOS MÓ spraoi ag imirt ghabháil le mo mhac sa chlós ar ais lá atá inniu ann. Tar éis dhá an-fuar, lá gaofar a bhí sé te ar deireadh go leor chun súgradh taobh amuigh. Jeremiah ag tosú i Sraith Little don chéad uair, mar sin is gá dúinn a fháil ar roinnt cleachtas ghabháil isteach Tá sé chomh cumasach go nádúrtha i ngach rud Lúthchleas Gael. Bhí mé softball tapa agus mall-pháirc le 11 bliain ag fás aníos, agus bhí mé maith go leor, mar sin bhain mé i ndáiríre ag taispeáint dó na rópaí. Bhí sceitimíní orm nuair a fuair mé amach go fiú tar éis thart ar 6 bliana nach imirt ar chor ar bith, tháinig sé ar ais go leor go nádúrtha. Gabe raibh post fabulous de ní a dhéanamh é féin i lár aird, a bhfuil rud éigin tá muid ag streachailt le déanaí. Spreag sé Miah, ach lig dom ceannaireacht a ghlacadh. Ní amháin de fhios-é-gach Siondróm. Gabe a bhí fiú catcher dúinn agus mhúin mé Miah chun páirce. Sé d'fhéadfadh a bheith i ndáiríre a pitcher má theastaigh sé a bheith. I mo thuairimse, d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith aon phost, ach tá sé cruinneas gur maith ina caitheamh, mar sin d'fhéadfadh stad gearr nó pitcher a bheith dea-oiriúnach. Beidh muid a fheiceáil. Riamh aige imir i Sraith roimh, ach toisc go bhfuil sé cheana féin go maith ag bualadh, ag teacht, agus caitheamh, a chur ar an chóiste ceann dó sa Majors. - Is iad na laonna 4 seachtaine d'aois anois, agus a n-phearsantachtaí go bhfuil níos mó ná mar atá siad. Tá mé chomh beannaithe go bhfuil muid fuair tithe le haghaidh gach ceann acu cheana féin. 2-3 seachtaine níos mó roimh beidh siad dul ar a dtithe nua. - An rud amháin NÁ mhaith liom buíochas faoi na W! Fit go bhfuil rianta sé BMI. I HATE BMI!! Fiú amháin mo ollamh cothaithe iontach sa choláiste dúradh liom go bhfuil BMI a bunch de HOOEY agus nach bhfuil fíor aon cruinneas i léiriú duine éigin le sláinte. Is é an rud dúr chur chugam ag 36, atá ag barr na n-scála murtallach. Anois, a ligean isteach mé mé róthrom, agus tá mo meáchan sprioc a chailleadh faoi £ 50, ach tá mé áit in aice morbidly otrach! Tá mé 6'1 "agus tá fráma mór, agus deir an rud dúr go bhfuil mo meáchan sprioc £ 166. Yeah. Mheá mé nuair a bhí mé 16 agus anorexic! D'fhéadfaí tú a fheiceáil mo easnacha agus cnámh collar ar mhaithe le feabhas. Mo dheirfiúr Rachel, atá 5'10 agus a bheadh ... maith ... le beagán níos mó ná £ 166 a chur san áireamh róthrom le rud seo. MO, taibhseach Thin, deirfiúr GNÍOMHACHA. Mar sin, go bhfuil mo rant faoi BMI, agus an rud amháin nach maith liom faoi na W! Fit. - Léigh mé an post seo uamhnach ag Goggy faoi uathúlacht an turas ar an lánúin neamhthorthúil, go háirithe nuair a ghlacfaidh siad. I dteagmháil léi sé i ndáiríre mo chroí agus ghlaoigh fíor liom. Beidh mé ag machnamh is dócha níos mó ar an am go chéile. - An laonna a bheith ag fáil aird an oiread sin lately, ní raibh mé ag iarraidh mo álainn Juji éan a bhraitheann fágtha amach. Dá bhrí sin tá anseo mo Juji álainn ag ithe bia a, is fearr leat arbhar. Is breá sí i ndáiríre a údar, agus mar tá mé ag scríobh seo cuddling sí le mo leiceann. Tá sí den sórt sin a áthas, agus le déantóir trioblóide BIG. Inné hopped sí síos ar an urlár agus raced ar fud an seomra suí (lena hop beanna cáiliúla) ach a ionsaí Hubby na cosa. Cad stinker lovable. - Is breá an dá mo buachaillí cluichí físeáin, ach go háirithe Jeremiah. Bhí sé sásta a dhéanamh go díreach faoi rud ar bith, lena n-áirítear briseadh agus ag dul isteach, a fháil ach cúpla nóiméad den am scáileán. Ag anocht am leaba d'iarr sé orm Bhain mé taitneamh as imirt mo cluiche nua inniu. Dúirt mé leis go raibh mé a lán de spraoi, ach bhí mé spraoi fiú níos mó ag imirt baseball leis. A shúile lit suas agus d'iarr "Really? Cén fáth? "Dúirt mé leis go bhféadfadh aon cluiche físeán ionad riamh cé mhéad spraoi mé ag imirt le mo mhac. Shíl sé go raibh deas fionnuar, agus mar gheall ar a fhios agam cé mhéad a loves sé cluichí físeáin, tá a fhios agam i gceist é a ton dó. Ina dhiaidh sin paidreacha, d'iarr sé fiú dom a Mamaí is fearr leat. Awww. - Bí ag guí don dá bhuachaillí, de réir mar a fhios agam go leor de leat a dhéanamh. Jeremiah ag streachailt gach lá le roinnt spléachtaí siar móra, agus a tantrums a bheith an-foréigneach agus féin millteach le déanaí. Guigh dá sábháilteacht agus go mbeadh síocháin Dé agus leighis reign a intinn, comhlacht, agus spiorad os a chionn. Bhí sé freisin roinnt oibre fola inniu chun tástáil a leibhéil plalette mar tá sé ag bruising i ndáiríre go héasca le déanaí. Fágann troid tickle simplí bruises ar a easnacha. Féadfaidh sé a bheith díreach i ndiaidh a craiceann cothrom, ach bhíomar ag iarraidh a bheith cinnte. Sheiceáil siad freisin a De * leibhéil acote, mar tá sé ag fás a ton agus tá a dhochtúir i gceist go bhféadfadh sé a bheith a bhfuil tionchar acu ar na luascáin giúmar tá muid ag feiceáil. - Gabe i roinnt dtrioblóid dlí ceart anois go bhfuil riachtanais sé go leor de chlúdach paidir do. Ní féidir dul isteach sonraí, ach le do thoil ag guí ar son a chroí agus a úsáideann Dia seo mar am foirgneamh carachtar, agus am dúinn saol a labhairt i dó. - Oh, YAY! Hubby tá baile le haghaidh an chéad chúpla mí eile! Dáiríre! NÍL taisteal! Tá sé ag déanamh cheana féin differerence ollmhór leis na buachaillí AGUS leis Hubby. Tá sé sin i bhfad níos happier anois. YAY! Sin freagra ollmhór chun urnaí. Gan trácht ar mé a tharlóidh do chineál ar cosúil leis an Guy, agus an hugs breise agus póga a bheith ina teanndáileog giúmar mór dom. Maith go leor, urchair go leor. Tá súil agam tú taitneamh as an nuashonrú. Táim ag súil go mbeidh an aimsir álainn a chur chugam i scríbhinn giúmar an tseachtain seo.

Tá mé ag súil seo a leanas sé mo mholadh chun dul gharáiste déanta lá atá inniu ann ionas gur féidir leis a thuilleamh roinnt pointí mega. Rinne mé póstaeir bhrí a ainm le haghaidh an dá de na buachaillí. Tá gach póstaer a n-ainm, a n-ainm i Eabhrais, agus an bhrí a n-ainm. Is é an cúlra léirmhíniú ealaíne a n-ainmneacha i litreacha Eabhrais. Bhí mé chomh tógtha in áit le mé féin, agus chuaigh Kaleb freisin. Priontáilte mé iad ar pháipéar fóta sin bheadh siad a bheith bríomhar agus iad a chur i roinnt frámaí álainn fuair mé saor. Tá siad ar taispeáint anois ar ár maintlín agus táim ag siad iontach! Bhí mé an-excited faoi an tionscadal seo. Is dócha toisc go bhfuil sé i ndáil le cineál neadaithe, a dhéanamh ar ár teaghlaigh a bhraitheann cosúil le teaghlaigh. Anywho, tá mé ag obair chomh maith ar a dhéanamh le tionscadal den chineál céanna a dhéanamh póstaeir de véarsaí scrioptúr éagsúla a spreagadh. Kaleb bhí an-chinneadh chun nacht Gabe lenár bhfís agus fís Dé dó, agus gur thug dom an smaoineamh do na póstaeir. Tá mé ag baint úsáide as roinnt chúlraí grianghraf iontach stoc a fuair mé ar http://www.sxc.hu/ . Spraoi spraoi! Táimid ag pleanáil turas teaghlaigh go cathair in aice láimhe a dhéanamh ar roinnt siopadóireachta éadaí. Tá mé an oiread sin sceitimíní! Is gá dom éadaí nua an-dona agus Gabe tá liúntas éadaí a chaitheamh. Bhí muid ag pleanáil ar siúl amárach, ach nach bhfuil iompar déanaí Gabe ar a bhí a chabhródh le turais teaghlaigh spraoi. Tá mé ag fanacht le cloisteáil oibrí Miah chun a fháil amach cibé an féidir sé teacht freisin. Beidh muid ag fanacht in óstán an-deas le seomra teaghlaigh (5 leapacha) agus linn snámha le sleamhnán uisce ar feadh SAOR toisc go bhfanfadh mo hubby ann mar sin go minic le haghaidh oibre. Cé go bhfuil mé níos troime ná Ba mhaith liom ceart anois, tá mé fós ecstatic a fháil ar roinnt éadaí nua. Maith go leor, agus mar sin go bhfuil cúig. Tá sé ar fad a fuair mé ceart anois. B'fhéidir go mbeidh mé ag smaoineamh ar dhá cheann eile a chur ina dhiaidh sin. Fág nóta tráchta | | Tags: Garraíodóireacht , tuismitheoireachta , an critters
