Like a LONG while. There's actually so much to catch up on that I don't even know where to start. I feel the need to write though. For one, I miss it... but more importantly, there are so many memories and cute sayings and moments with the kids that I want to capture. I want to remember. So I decided to start by taking one kiddo at a time and recording some of the things that have been happening this year.<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure I told you about Casey in the kindergarten line already. It's the sweetest thing I've ever seen. He waits with me everyday until the last minute... then when his teacher comes to get his line, he reluctantly goes inside the gate. Don't get me wrong, he LOVES his teacher, Mrs. Henry. I'm pretty sure she's the best kindergarten teacher on the planet. She is the perfect mix of being completely lovable and having the class under control at the same time. She smiles and sings and has the cutest, most creative ideas like family art day and a manners tea and she even wrote me an email to check on Casey when he hit his head at school. The class is so in love with her that they pretty much do whatever she says. Anyway, back to the kindergarten line. Maybe it's because I never got to experience this with Jacob and Gavin because they took the bus in kindergarten? After the teacher greets each kiddo and gives them a giant hug, the line starts moving inside. Meanwhile, Casey (who always stands at the end of the line) walks backwards, yelling, "BYE MOM! BYE! BYE MOM!" and blowing me kisses until I can't see him anymore. Then usually, right before he is out of sight, he will blow me one. more. kiss. My heart.<br />
<br />
Adam asked me one day, "What takes you so long to drop the boys off at school?" I told him it was because I waited with Casey everyday until his teacher walked him to the classroom. He just didn't get it. I said, "I know from experience... this time of hugs and blowing kisses in the kindergarten line is short. I know because Jacob was just like Casey at that age. Next year, he'll be with the big kids and I won't be able to watch him anymore. So I'm going to stand there everyday until I can't see him anymore... because it's the best 20 minutes of my day." Then it happened. One day, before going in the gate, Casey pulled me aside and said, "Mom, I have to tell you something very important. I don't think I'm going to say goodbye anymore because I sink I might be embarrassed." (I think he was starting to realize that he was the only one yelling out to their mom amongst all of the kids in his class.) I could feel the tears start to sting in my eyes and I gave him a hug. "Okay buddy." I said. "I love you." This was just a few weeks before the last day of school. To my relief, he still blew me those kisses in the kindergarten line until the very last day of school (although he used to be oblivious with his loud goodbyes, they turned into a soft, quiet, "Bye mom.") That last day was especially emotional... because normally, you don't know when the last day of something special will be (<a href="http://hannahhelpme.com/blog/when-did-I-last-wash-your-hair/">http://hannahhelpme.com/blog/when-did-I-last-wash-your-hair/</a>)... but this time, I did.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, he still wants to cuddle at night. As much as I feel like I want to collapse on the couch, I take him up on it almost every time. Again, because I know the nights that he will want to cuddle with me are dwindling. The routine is pretty much the same each night. He hides Wolfie somewhere in his bed and asks me to find him. Then sometimes he asks to brush my hair. Sometimes he asks me to pray for him. Sometimes he asks me to tell him something about when I was a little girl. But we always talk and cuddle and tell stories... and I<i> cherish</i> this time with him. One night, he said, "Mom, I don't want to go to school because I don't want you to leave me." Then I responded, "I don't want to leave you either." He said, "Then why do you drop me off??" Sometimes when I am lying there, he will gently put his little hand on my back. It's these moments that make me want to freeze time more than anything... to somehow feel that gentle touch on my back forever. If Adam comes to sweep me away to bed and Casey isn't asleep yet, he will grab me and plead for me not to leave him. <br />
<br />
I love how Casey isn't afraid to talk about God, even at school. He tells me that he asks his friends if they know Him. When they had to fill out turkey feathers for what they are thankful for, Casey wrote God and Jesus. At first, he was the only one in his whole class. Then, I noticed on a different project where the students were writing what they were thankful for, other kids started to write God and Jesus too. Making an impact in kindergarten... so cool. Then, a few weeks later, Mrs. Henry invited the parents to the classroom to show a slideshow of what each student wanted to give their mom for Christmas. Casey wrote, "I want to give her a cross necklace and a God and Jesus heart."<br />
<br />
Another thing I love are his cute mis-articulations. Like he says "I sink" for I think. Momma, I siiink we should go to the pool? Then he would follow it up with, "Could that be cool?" Or he would say, "Mom, the thing is..." all the time. Which I never knew where he got that from... until I caught myself saying it one day. I also loved it when he calls the Super Bowl the Super Goal. And how he calls pizza sauce potato sauce. And he says Walmark for Walmart. So cute.<br />
<br />
He tells me I'm the best mommy even when I don't deserve it. One day he said, "You're the best mommy in the world. I'm not the best kid but you're the best mommy. Daddy is one of the best daddies, but you are the <i>only </i>best mommy." Another day, I was telling him that I was taking a class at church that teaches me how to be a better mommy and he said, "Why? You already are the best mommy!"<br />

They make mistakes, sure... and so do I. When it comes down to it though, to me, the most important thing is not how well they play sports, not how gifted they are in school, not how popular they are. It's their character. It's their heart. We teach them about God's love and God's character, we read the bible with them, we pray with them.... and we have seen that as their relationship with God grows, the more his character spills over into their life.<br />
<br />
Jacob. At church, the fifth graders were making a huge banner with handprints and their favorite verses. As Jacob was telling me about it, I was so curious which verse he chose. I figured it was most likely John 3:16 or Proverbs 3:5 or Jeremiah 29:11. I think those were the verses I knew at his age anyway. He totally caught me off guard when he said, "I wrote two because I couldn't decide which was my favorite. The first was Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the Lord. Be strong and don't give up. Wait for the Lord. One day after church, one of his teachers told me that they were worshipping and his hands were raised... when nobody else's were.<br />
<br />
Gavin. I went to this Financial class last spring (where they were teaching us how to teach our kids about money). Afterward, I was so excited and determined to set up a consistent allowance/chore chart for my kids. Up until then, we were paying our kids for chores they would do around the house that were above and beyond our expectations. Gavin is always the one who would volunteer to help vacuum, weed, whatever we needed help with. One day in particular, I remember paying him three dollars for vacuuming. <br />
<br />
Inside Gavin's bible, there is an envelope for tithing. We have talked to the boys about tithing and explained how and why we give "money to God" out of every paycheck. They understand that God doesn't really need money, he is just looking for us to put him first and trust him with our finances. We talk to our boys about this, but we leave the decision of tithing and how much they tithe up to them. We want it to be a decision from their heart... not because we told them to. So a few Sundays ago, I was bringing Gavin to his class at church. On the table was a tithing jar and I saw him reach into his tithing envelope and carefully pull out all three dollars that I gave him for vacuuming that week. I couldn't stop my eyes from filling with tears. I couldn't help but think, "Would I have done that at his age? Give all three dollars?" I was flabbergasted. I remember bringing a quarter to church from time to time, but never anything that was a sacrifice. Just when I thought it would most likely be a one time thing, the same thing happened the next Sunday. Gavin filled an entire bucket full of weeds, only to take all of the money I gave him and give it back to God. Incredible. One of his teachers at church told me they were talking about wants and needs. Almost all of the kids were saying things like food and clothes (and video games ;), when Gavin said, "I think we just need God."<br />
<br />
Casey. Casey has wisdom beyond his years. The other day in the car, a song was playing that said, "Do to others like you would have them do to you. It's the golden rule." Casey thought for a minute and said, "That's not really the golden rule, mom. The bible says to love God the most. That's the golden rule. So actually the words in this song should be the silver rule." When he had to make a tough decision, he said, "I heard God in my heart mom. And then I choosed the right choice." When we are reading the bible, he always has the most incredible questions and perspective on everything. He has always been timid to pray though. When we ask if anyone wants to pray, he just says no thank you... and we leave it at that. The other night, he wanted to pray though! You know how some kids hardly can say a few words and then they just start talking in sentences? Casey went from not praying at all to passionately praying the cutest, sweetest prayer! He was praying for protection for our family, and that his great-grandpa would know God before he dies, that God would help the people who are hungry and help the people who are sick to feel better... and all sorts of things! Amazing.<br />
<br />
Ella. Ella has an incredible gift for dancing. Whenever we play worship music in our house, she will immediately go into this beautiful dance. We call it "dancing for Jesus". Her face is focused, yet full of joy. Her arms carefully swing around and her legs swiftly take her all around the kitchen. She sings too. The sing like no one's watching type of singing. We will be at the pool and she will belt out "YES Jesus loves me!" at the top of her lungs. She doesn't hold anything back. Then there are her prayers. She is always the first to enthusiastically yell, "ME!" when I ask who wants to pray. And God love her, she will pray for a loooong time. And half the time, we have no idea what she's saying. One time though, and I will never forget it, I was crying in the kitchen. Ella came up to me and said, "Mommy! Mommy no sad. It be okay. Ella pray for you mommy!" She softly held my hands and quietly prayed that God would please help mommy feel happy. <br />
<br />
She has such a giving heart. We are just starting to give her an allowance each week and she wants to give it all to Jesus. We are teaching her to put aside 30 cents of her $3.00, but she continues to empty her piggy bank every week with SUCH a cheerful heart. <br />
<br />
One of the cutest things she does is use the phrase "next year" instead of "tomorrow". Mommy? Are we going swimming NEXT year? I can't even correct it because it's so cute! She eventually started correcting it on her own and now she will say, "Are we going tomodow... after this day?"<br />
<br />
Some of Ella's loves: Pretending... which is totally a new thing because I'm pretty sure our boys didn't pretend play EVER. She pushes her stroller and pretends to be a mommy. The majority of the time she wants to be a kitty or a doggy. Adam will play this animal game with her where they pretend to be a certain animal together and she will ride on his back. It's so cute. They also play a board game called Sneaky Squirrel every morning while the boys are walking to school (Daddy calls it Stinky Squirrel). She never gets tired of it. She also absolutely LOVES My Little Pony. She would watch it all day if we let her. (The funny thing is, Casey likes it too. I'm not sure if he would admit it, but he quietly sneaks in and is glued to almost every episode she watches.) You should see how excited she was when I got her a My Little Pony backpack for TK. Her eyes absolutely lit up and she was literally squealing with joy!<br />

This most likely stems back to the fact that I had the most amazing grandpa... as good as they come. He passed away my senior year of high school, so when I married Adam, I was beyond happy gain another grandpa. He had an amazing heart and he loved me and he loved our kids. I will always always remember how he would pat me on the leg (as all of our kids were running crazy around the living room), give me a proud look, and say, "You're doin' a good job momma." It always meant the world to me. In the midst of the craziness, in the midst of the joy, in the midst of the tears, "You're doing a good job." Then he would pat his leg and each kid would run and crawl up on his lap to cuddle. Every time he left, I would hug him, give him a kiss on the cheek, and whisper, "I love you grandpa."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He has been in and out of the hospital recently, but this past week it really wasn't looking good. Adam's mom called to let us know that she wasn't sure he was going to make it. More than anything, we wanted to drop everything and go up to see him... but there were a few things we had to consider. Adam was selected to be on a jury and had about two weeks left in court. Thankfully, our boys happened to be on fall break... so if Adam was able to get dismissed from being on the jury, we could go. We were praying for grandpa that night and asking God to help us with the timing of it all. (It was Friday night, so we weren't sure Adam would be able to get ahold of the judge until Monday anyway.) After we finished praying, I noticed Jacob was turning through the pages of his bible. He eventually landed in the book of Psalms and said, "Here mom. I want you to read this verse. It's my favorite." It was Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the Lord. Be strong and don't give up. Wait for the Lord." At first I just merely read it... but then my heart skipped a beat. We were <i>just</i> praying for timing and then Jacob all of a sudden turns to this particular verse? Okay God. We'll wait on you. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As if that wasn't enough, after I went downstairs to tell Adam what had happened, I decided to read a chapter in a book I was reading. When I opened it up to find where I had left off, something caught my eye. I saw a sentence in bold (under a section about how God speaks) that said, "Sometimes God speaks to you through your children." Amazing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So we waited and prayed through the weekend. All of a sudden, on Monday morning, I felt like God was whispering, "Go." I was telling Adam this before he left for court and he immediately said he would talk to the judge. At first, I thought to myself... wow, really? Should we wait and get an update on how Grandpa is doing first? Then I figured, well, if God wants us to go, he'll make a way. A few hours later, Adam called and said he was dismissed from jury duty altogether. So we packed and within a few hours, we were on the road to the airport. (Which isn't easy with four kids, let me tell ya! ;) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We woke up the next morning and got a text from Adam's mom that Grandpa was moving from the hospital to a care center. I was SO relieved to hear that he was doing better. When we got there, Grandpa was up and talking and looked great. My mother-in-law said it was the best she had seen him in weeks. He smiled at us and his eyes sparkled as he saw all of our kids crowding around him. He looked at me and said, "You flew all the way up here to see me? That really means a lot." Later, Adam's brother and my sister-in-law and their kiddos joined us and the love of family and joy and laughter filled the room. One of the employees saw all of us and asked, "Are you having a party? Looks fun! I'll bring some snacks!" And she did. Before long, there were trays of coffee and hot chocolate, goldfish and granola bars, fruit snacks and chips. We had a party with grandpa and it was a moment I will cherish for the rest of my life. He knew we were there. He knew he was loved. Little did I know, those God whispers had gotten us there just in time... because everything was about to change.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next day, we found Grandpa in a wheelchair outside his room. Right away, I knew something was different. His eyes had lost their sparkle and were fading off in the distance. The color in his cheeks had turned somewhat pale. He wasn't able to talk except one word at a time in a soft whisper. The nurse told us we could wheel him anywhere we wanted, so we took him to the library. There were games and puzzles to entertain the kids and we just held Grandpa's hand and talked to him. Every now and then, he would point at the kids and muster up every ounce of strength just to smile at them. Finally, he just looked exhausted and whispered, "too far away" so we had someone help him get back into bed. He immediately fell asleep and only woke up for a few minutes at a time the rest of the day. Before we left, we all prayed over him. The six of us, along with Adam's mom and her brother, were able to hold hands all the way around his bed. It was a beautiful moment, especially hearing the voice of our kids as they each prayed for grandpa. That he would ask Jesus into his heart. That God would send angels to take care of him. That he would have strength just a while longer so we could visit with him. <b>My heart.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
We knew the next day would be our last because Adam had to go back to work. That morning, we found grandpa in his bed sound asleep. We took the kids to the library and spent our time building puzzles and playing apples to apples and chess and scrabble... meanwhile checking on grandpa every few minutes to see if he was awake. He woke up for a few minutes when the nurses brought him lunch, only to take a few sips of juice and go back to sleep. Finally, after spending most of the day there, we knew we had to go. And we knew it would be the last time we saw him. Trying to hold back tears, we said goodbye and I could see his eyes struggling to open. We squeezed his hand and told him we loved him and I left the room so Adam could have some time alone with him. He told him about God and how much He loves him. That Jesus died on the cross for us and through this love, everything he has ever done can be forgiven. That he can be in heaven forever and we will see him again. Then he asked if he could pray for him and Grandpa slowly nodded yes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That was the last time we saw him. We flew home and got a text that evening that Grandpa was worse, struggling for each breath. As we prayed, I remember Casey saying, "God please send your biggest angel to Grandpa right now." We found out that he took his last breath a few hours later. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm so thankful we got to spend this week with Grandpa. I'm so thankful the judge let Adam off of jury duty. I'm so thankful my kids were on fall break. I'm so thankful to God for His perfect timing. </div>

Summer always goes by so fast... especially when school starts on August 13th! I was a little concerned about the transition from preschool two mornings a week to full-day kindergarten for Casey?! He wasn't super excited about preschool either, so I had no idea what I was in for this year. THANKFULLY, his teacher is super cute, bubbly, lovable... Casey immediately wrapped his arms around her in adoration. Adam said at open house, "Oh good, she's just like you. Casey will be fine." Lol!</div>

Every day, when Casey is in line, he says, "BYE MOM! BYE!" over and over. It's so endearing, but kind of makes me blush at the same time because he is so loud and doesn't even care. The line is moving and he is tripping backwards over himself just to say bye and blow me kisses one more time. Sigh... I love this kid.</div>

If you aren't willing to put yourself in "this is crazy" situations, you'll never experience "this is awesome" moments - The Circle Maker</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this quote. It reminds me of our adoption, it reminds me of our move... all of those times where it felt crazy and I'm sure some people probably thought we <i>were</i> crazy. "So you're flying to Russia three times and you already have three kids and you could put one or two of them through college with the cost of one international adoption?" Crazy. "So you're moving to California and leaving your entire family and you don't know anybody down there?" Crazy. But we've learned that when you fully put your trust in God and take a leap of faith toward what you believe He is calling you to do, God always shows up. Logic might be screaming no, but faith is whispering yes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always had this picture of what Jacob's baptism day would look like. All of our family and friends would be gathered together. Adam would baptize Jacob. I would have months in advance to plan out all of the details. That was the problem though, it was MY plan... how I wanted it to go. Not surprisingly, God had a different plan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jacob has always had this incredible child-like faith that I am in awe of. He would pray, even on his own, and knew God was going to take care of him. He has had these awesome dreams, <a href="http://www.lovin-on-my-boys.blogspot.com/2011/12/our-final-trip.html">one about Ella coming home all wrapped up as a Christmas present</a>... long before we even knew she would be coming home on Christmas Eve. Amazing. One (on the night before Easter) where he saw an angel, telling him not to be afraid. Amazing. We were thinking about having him baptized at our church in Washington right before we moved... but doors seemed to be closing and the timing just didn't feel right. So we waited.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over the next year, Jacob's faith developed even more. He asked lots of questions and Adam and I stayed up many nights, laying beside him and talking about God. We found a church and there were a few days set aside throughout the year for baptisms, but they never seemed to work out with Adam's schedule. (Events like this are really hard to plan when your husband is almost always on call!) We knew there would be an opportunity to have Jacob baptized on May 25th, but again, Adam was on call. Even though I had dismissed it as a possibility, Adam felt God pressing him that Jacob was ready. To trust Him with his schedule. That everything would work out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Adam came to me with this, it was May 24th. Thoughts and questions flooded my head. You can't just sign up for a baptism the day before, can you? This is crazy. Our family isn't here to watch him. I don't have time to plan a party. I'm not really sure how baptism even works at our church yet. I felt this sense of peace though, as if God was whispering, "Trust me." After all, people aren't planning out baptisms in the bible, right? Believe and be baptized... and people were just baptized right there on the spot. So we emailed our church on Saturday afternoon. When NOBODY is there. Crazy. They called us back though, at ten o'clock at night. They told us what to wear, what to bring, asked us a few questions about Jacob, and we were ready to go. Fear and doubt were trying to creep in... everything was all lined up now, but what if Adam gets called and misses the baptism? What if we tell all of our family and friends and it doesn't end up happening? Logic was screaming no, faith was whispering yes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Praise God, our church streams everything live so my mom and Adam's parents were able to watch Jacob get baptized from afar. It was an awesome day. That morning, we all held hands in our living room and one at a time we prayed for Jacob, even little Ella. (The prayer of a little child, it melts my heart every. time!) While Jacob was getting baptized, my favorite worship song, Oceans, was playing. We took Jacob out to lunch and later that night, had a campfire and s'mores with some incredible friends. God's plans always work out so much better than mine.</div>

We kept hearing about a local pumpkin patch that everyone loves around here, so we decided to try it! The good news, it ended up that almost all of our neighbors decided to go on the same day. The bad news, I think our entire town decided to go on the same day! (And it was H.O.T... so different from our rainy pumpkin patch last year. We went from jackets and rain boots to shorts and sun tan lotion!)</div>

Thoughts were running through my head like... Are we going to wait in this line just to find out that she is scared of them? Or that by the time we finally made it, she is just going to be melting down?</div>

We actually didn't think Casey would be able to go to preschool this year. When I called around back in the spring, it looked like the prices were going the be about the same per week as I was paying per month in Washington. Yikes! His birthday is so close to the cut off that I didn't want to start him in kindergarten until next year... especially since kindergarten is full day here! So we were thinking that I would just work with him at home (with all of my first grade teaching strategies. ;) Then we were at a swim meet one weekend and someone was telling us they have a Fun for Fours program - which is preschool at the elementary school they will attend! I called and they just happened to have a spot open because another family had just withdrawn. The parents that I talked to during open house said that there is a lottery system back in February and it is REALLY hard to get in so I totally lucked out! Not only is it the same price as his preschool in Washington, but it starts the same time as Jacob and Gavin, so I am able to walk them to school all together. It's only Tuesday and Thursday morning, so I still have lots of time to spend with him before he goes to school full time next year. :) I also love that the kids in his class will be in Kindergarten with him as well!</div>

I've had some crazy first day of schools. One year Jacob got a bloody nose while we were getting ready. <a href="http://www.lovin-on-my-boys.blogspot.com/2010/09/jacobs-first-day.html">One year, I realized his pants were on backwards minutes before the bus came to pick him up.</a> It might have even been the same year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So each year, I get up a little bit earlier... just trying to avoid the rushing and chaos that usually comes with the first day of school. Plus, I always want some time to take pictures! Adam always tries to get Casey's birthday off in August first, so the fact that he was home for the first day of school was a total blessing. Here is Gavin listening to his daddy's pep talk. ;)</div>

Our new school doesn't have any buses, so your choice is either to walk or join in the mad chaos of driving your kiddos to school. It only takes about 15 minutes and it's a beautiful walk, so a big part of my life this year will be walking everyone to and from school! ;)</div>

Even if our summer felt short, I actually love that we started school so early here. It means we get a week off in October, a month off for Christmas break, and a week off for spring break... which means more time to fly up and visit family! They both had big smiles on their faces after school, which was a HUGE relief for this momma. I was praying for them all day!</div>

The last time I wrote on this blog, I was sitting on the couch in our house in Puyallup. Now I am sitting on the same couch in a different house, different city, different state! We have been here a month and I am very relieved to say that it has been an easier transition than I had envisioned so far. (The fact that family and friends have already been here to visit has definitely helped!) There are so many things that I have been wanting to share, so many stories of amazing people who have impacted our life along the way.<br />
<br />
It was a crazy, whirlwind of a few months for sure. Packing and cleaning and traveling to California for releases and walk throughs and signing paperwork. Looking back, I'm not sure how I did it... and I definitely wouldn't want to do it again. ;) I think it's those times when you need people the most, when you feel like you are drowning, that you open your eyes and you realize people in your life are reaching out a hand and gently pulling you up out of the whirlpool that you are caught in. And you are so grateful... so so very grateful... and you know you couldn't make it without those people by your side.<br />
<br />
There was one point, a few days before the moving trucks were going to arrive, when it looked like way less people than we hoped were going to be able to help us load all of our things onto the truck. I remember sitting at our dining room table with Adam across from me and I knew he could read the overwhelmed and worried look in my eyes. Feeling helpless, I asked him, "What are we going to do?" His face didn't fluctuate and he said with confidence, "We pray and we watch how God works it out... because I know He will." Meanwhile, my friend called the small group we were in a few years ago and without any hesitation, they said they would be there. In that moment, there was hope again.<br />
<br />
People did show up that day. People who we knew from church. People who we hardly knew from church. People who brought their husbands, brothers, friends, and sons. People whose teenage girls volunteered to watch our children. People who gave up a beautiful, sunny day to help us. People who served and worked hard and were a prayer come true for us. It was so humbling. At the end of the day, when everything was loaded onto the truck, Adam and I were sitting on the floor in our empty living room. Everything was quiet and after processing everything that happened, we both became overwhelmed with gratitude and tears were streaming down our faces. Not only had our lives been impacted that day, but we couldn't help but examine ourselves. How often had we given up a day for someone we hardly know? How often are we going out of our way to work and serve and help and love on people? In the following days, people continued to help us paint, clean, bring coffee and donuts, and pack up the last things. Every little gesture meant the world to us and made us feel even more passionate and motivated to pay it forward.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Adam's parents and good friend (who drove our cars down), we were able to fly down to Valencia with our kiddos. We were REALLY thankful that we didn't have to drive. First of all, because we were exhausted. Second of all, because we would've had to drive straight there in order to meet the moving truck... and honestly, we just didn't want to be in a car with four kiddos for eighteen hours. Adam's family helped us unpack the truck in record time (and record heat!!), paint bedrooms, carry a refrigerator that we found on craigslist down a huge flight of stairs, build all the beds for our kiddos, carry our washer and dryer upstairs and set it up, put up shelves in our garage... it was amazing. A few days later though, everybody left and we were on our own.<br />
<br />
Since then, we have been trying to have a good balance of settling into our house and enjoying the summer as a family. Adam has to commute back to Seattle until August 1 so that has been a challenge... he is really looking forward to being based out of LA. I surprised my niece with tickets to Taylor Swift for Christmas and just found out that Adam was able to get those days off, so I am super excited to fly up north (by myself!) at the end of August. The boys start school on August 14th and before we know it, we will have a whole new schedule to get used to. We are taking it one day, one week, one month at a time. There are nights when I feel like everything is going to be okay and nights where my heart is aching because I miss my family and friends. One night in particular though, Adam and I were talking and he looked into my eyes and said, "I really like it here. It's crazy because I fly all around the world... and there is no place I would rather be than here."<br />
<br />
I went to the same church tonight that <a href="http://lovin-on-my-boys.blogspot.com/2013/04/god-winks.html">we went to as a family back in October</a>. Now, nine months later, this church is moving into a new building just weeks after our family moved here. So the pastor started speaking about change and I immediately got goosebumps. It felt like he was talking right to me. He was saying that when you experience change, there are times when you need to have selective amnesia. You can't always be looking backward or you won't be able to experience everything that God has for you now. That God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him. That you will always be able to find something negative if you are looking for it, so it is far better to stay focused on the things that are positive. I know that I have always had the tendency to look backward, so I have intentionally been trying to be thankful for what I have and where God has me. I am thankful we have a pool that we can walk to. I am thankful to have found an outdoor swim team that my boys can be part of. I am thankful that we have a church that we are hoping to call home. I am thankful that I prayed and prayed for one friend and God answered my prayer with someone right across the street. I am thankful for our cul de sac where our kids can ride bikes and eat popsicles and play tag with other kids their age. I am thankful that we are a drive away from the beach, which is hands down my favorite place to be. I am thankful that I am learning how to get around and that the roads are waffle shaped, so there never seems to be traffic. I am thankful that one of my dearest friends lives a little over an hour away and I have already seen her four times since we've moved here. I am thankful that my friends back home are constantly checking in and making me feel loved, even though I am so far away. I am thankful that our kids seem to be adjusting well so far. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but I think perspective is really important at this point... and I think we are going to be okay. :)<br />

It was tough to think of spending Fourth of July anywhere else but at our in-laws, because we love our tradition of being up on the channel so much on this holiday! However, this also seemed next to impossible since we had JUST moved. Thankfully, my friend who also lives in Southern California invited us to spend the Fourth of July with her! </div>

I have always ALWAYS wanted to jump on a flight that my husband is flying. Him being on call has made it pretty impossible though. That and the fact that we have four kids, which also makes it tricky to jump on a flight. ;) Just recently, he has gotten enough seniority to hold a line where he knows his schedule ahead of time. So when I saw a flight to Las Vegas coming up, I asked the grandparents to watch our kiddos and decided to go for it!! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took a different flight than he did on the way down, so I got there a few hours early. I know Las Vegas is technically sin city... but it's just so beautiful at night! I am always in awe!! I found a comedy show at Harrah's and then waited for Adam to call me as soon as he made it to the strip. It was midnight, so I wasn't sure how long we were going to make it... but I was determined to make it as long as we could! We discovered after talking that we were on opposite sides of the strip, so we met in the middle of a bridge. Straight out of the movies, right?! ;) We found a restaurant and walked around together, it was fun and romantic and spontaneous. We had one night and we were going to make it count.</div>

So surreal to think he was the one flying the plane! My heart was pounding almost the entire time!! I was hanging on every word he was saying over the intercom, but the plane was so loud I couldn't hear most of it. Finally, the flight attendant walked by and asked me if I had heard what he said. I said no. :( He said, "He announced that you were on board and wanted to wish you a Happy Mother's Day tomorrow. And that he promised you a good landing so he is going to try his best." Awe! </div>

I have this friend who is always up for anything. She has three boys too, so we totally get each other. Not to mention, our boys love each other and I love her! Our husbands are gone on the weekends a lot, so we decided to brave a Mariner game with five of our boys. We left the littlest ones at home because, well, we aren't THAT crazy! (Plus, then we could all fit in one car!) </div>

<br />Lovin' on my Boyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11235117194367707908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33738436.post-70339796602401841312013-04-18T23:48:00.000-07:002013-04-19T15:09:22.135-07:00God winks<a href="http://www.lovin-on-my-boys.blogspot.com/2011/06/call-weve-been-waiting-for.html">I know I've referred to this before</a>, but I heard someone use the phrase 'God winks' to describe how God uses coincidence to answer prayer and work in your life. I loved it. We have seen many God winks as we have been praying through this decision to move, so I decided to write them down.<br />
<br />
I'm so thankful that God is threaded into our marriage, because we were able to place this decision in His hands. Praying that if this is a good decision for our family, that doors would open and the transition would go smoothly. Praying that if we are supposed to stay here, that doors would close and God would make it obvious that this isn't His plan for us. We agreed that if at any point we felt like God was closing doors, we would no longer press forward with plans to move... and if God was opening doors, we would cling to our faith and trust that He has plans for us down there. Proverbs 3:5 says, "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."<br />
<br />
We knew we needed to be near Los Angeles (so Adam could commute to work), but weren't super familiar with the area. A good friend of ours grew up in a place called Santa Clarita (about 45 minutes north of Los Angeles), and was telling us how much he loved it. We decided to visit last May and I was pleasantly surprised with how beautiful the area was. Small enough to have that home-town feel, but big enough that it has all of our favorite restaurants, stores, pools, an enormous mall, and a lake within 15 minutes. Santa Clarita also has some of the highest rated schools in all of California. We kept hearing and reading so many great things, most of all, that it's an ideal place for families to raise their kids. <br />
<br />
In October, once our plans started growing a little more serious, we flew there again. This time, with the goal of checking out a few different churches. We were excited to find that we both really liked the first one we went to. (Actually, we had a family vote after attending two churches and it was unanimous. :) We met the pastor and his wife, who were adoptive parents, so there was an immediate connection. We told them our story and they prayed for us. The pastor then introduced us to his sister, whose family had moved here from across the country to help plant the church (did I mention they had also adopted internationally?) As if that wasn't enough, once we were in the car, Jacob told us that there was a little boy he met at church who prayed for him, that he would move here. <br />
<br />
The first big step we took was changing Adam's position bid from Seattle to Los Angeles. This was a scary step because we had NO idea if everything would work out. The position bids typically don't take effect for about six months though, so it was a risk we had to take. Once the position bid was confirmed, we knew we either had to find a place to live down there or once again, be temporarily separated in two different states. <br />
<br />
We found an amazing real estate agent who truly went above and beyond to help us. The only problem was, houses are hard to come by down there. Once they go on the market, they are typically gone the same day... with several offers often above asking price. We also found out that they usually don't even acknowledge VA offers, simply because they don't need to. So our best bet was to either rent or find a new build. With the interest rates as low as they are, Adam really wanted to move in the direction of buying a house. He figured not only was it a good investment, but it might be the only time we can actually afford a new build in Southern California. We were approved for a loan, found a reputable builder in a great neighborhood, and were placed on a waiting list. The way it works is they have "releases", where you show up at their office with other families and they present the houses that are being released. From there, families (starting with whoever has been on the waiting list the longest) either choose one of the houses or make the decision to defer and wait for the next set of houses. It is a really stressful process because for some reason, they won't tell you where you are on the list... so you have no idea if you have a chance at a house until the actual release. <br />
<br />
We were trying to time the release so the house would be finished before Adam's position bid takes effect (August 1st)... also, preferably sometime after school ends here and before school starts there?? Is that too much to ask, God?? Yikes! We were supposed to attend a release together last month, but it ended up getting delayed and I had to go down by myself (since it was re-scheduled to a weekend when Adam had to work). I was so nervous and scared, but cherished the time I got to spend with God about it since I was there on my own. Even though the timing of this release would be ideal, above anything, I just wanted to give it to God. The next morning, I walked into the office and nervously waited. I'm not one to make the first move when it comes to meeting people, but I convinced myself I needed to. After all, these people could be our neighbors! Nearby, I saw a mom with two little kids talking to her husband, so I introduced myself. She said that they had moved here from out-of-state a few years ago and decided to buy a house because they loved the area. As we were talking, the woman in charge started explaining how the release was going to work. She would start with the person who was highest on the list, they would choose a house, and so on, until all four houses were taken. They happened to call the name of the family I was talking to first, who looked shocked and relieved at the same time! Then, to my surprise, they called our name next! We were able to choose the house we were hoping for (mostly because it was the least expensive :). So the mom I was talking to IS going to be my neighbor... and she is a stay-at-home mom too! When I told Adam everything that had happened, he quietly told me that he had been praying often and specifically that I would meet a friend down there. God is good.<br />
<br />
Did I mention that during all of this, we found a website where we could rent our house to a family in the military? Unfortunately, I didn't feel like I could get our house ready to take pictures any time soon, but fortunately, I had to take pictures of every room in our house when we were in the process of adopting Ella... so I used those! There were a few families who seemed interested, one of them already knew they would be moving here in July. After lots of emails and questions, they asked us right before the release if they could rent our house for THREE years. Since my biggest fear was paying a double mortgage for <i>any</i> amount of time, this was a total blessing and completely unexpected. So a few days after going to the release, we signed a contract with them... how's that for timing?? Especially since the loan for our new house is contingent on having renters in our current house, and we needed proof of everything 30 days before closing, which is pretty much now. God definitely seemed to be working out all the details for us!<br />
<br />
Our house should close late May/early June, which makes Jacob's hope to finish out the school year possible, the renters will be in our house by the time we have to make our first mortgage payment, and Adam only has three weeks of reverse-commuting before he is officially based in Los Angeles. So that is our series of "God winks" that help me to feel confident (especially on the tearful days) that God is opening the doors and that He has a plan for us. There was one day in particular where I heard a song on the radio and I could feel God speaking to me through it. I had heard this song several times before, but it was as if God was saying stop... and listen. Then it came on again while I was at Zumba... and again later that day! <a href="http://www.vevo.com/watch/phillip-phillips/home/QMTM61200282">The lyrics have gotten me every time since</a>.<br />

More than anything, we really want our kids to understand the true meaning of Easter. When asked what Easter is all about, I don't want them to say candy or Easter egg hunts or the Easter bunny. We still sprinkle a few of these things into our day... I just want the focus to be on Jesus, talking about His incredible sacrifice, and celebrating the joy of His resurrection! Our MOPS group made resurrection eggs, which I have always wanted to make, so I was really excited! Starting twelve days before Easter, there is a plastic egg with something inside that tells part of the Easter story. I truly underestimated how much they would love and look forward to this each night. I can't wait to continue this tradition in the years to come! We also took Jacob and Gavin to the Good Friday service at our church. There were stations, each one with props that told part of the Easter story (many were the same props that were inside our Easter eggs!) Adam sat down with Gavin and I sat with Jacob as we talked about each station and prayed with them. Then there was a team leading worship and communion. It was such a meaningful night!</div>

<br />Lovin' on my Boyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11235117194367707908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33738436.post-41166907498854529222013-04-03T07:18:00.000-07:002013-04-08T08:09:45.854-07:00Our next chapter<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have always known my husband loves the
sunshine. I can see the look of disappointment in his eyes each year when
the long, warm summer days are coming to an end. As the blue skies turn
to gray, he can't seem to help but think and dream about moving somewhere
warmer. Being in the Air Force Reserves and flying out of McChord, it
seemed like our life was pretty settled here. Not to mention that for the
past ten years, my heart was completely hardened when it came to moving.
I absolutely couldn't move away from my friends and family. Ever.
Period. Plus, I am not a girl who likes change. If I
could just stay in my comfort zone, with the same church, the same school for
my kids, the same friends, and the same routine for the rest of my life...
(enter sigh of relief) I would be totally happy. (Don't get me wrong, I would actually love to live in a warmer climate... I would just
want to bring all of my family and friends with me. ;) God has been
changing my heart over the past few months though, in a way that I never had
thought possible. A year ago, I would've told you that we were going to
spend the rest of our lives here. So I'll back up a little bit...</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think it all started when the economy went
downhill and Adam's airline was forced to furlough pilots. Thankfully,
Adam was not one who had to be furloughed, but he lost enough seniority that he
was moved to a base in Los Angeles. Since we knew this was temporary and
he would still have at least twelve days off a month, I stayed up here with the
boys while Adam commuted. He got a taste of what it was like to live
there... and long story short, he really loved it. He loved riding his
motorcycle to work everyday. He loved exploring all of the beaches and
seeing groups gathered in worship. He loved being so close to endless
recreation and fun things to do. He couldn't fully enjoy it though
because we weren't there. We rejoiced the day he was back in Seattle, so
excited to have more time together as a family again. It worked out that
he was transferred back up here just weeks before bringing Ella home, so the
timing was perfect. He was so excited to be back with his family, but not
so excited to be back in the rain. Then last July, Adam had completed
twenty years in the Air Force and made the decision to retire. Given that
there are different bases he can work from for Alaska, we were no longer tied
here. Moving somewhere else became more of a possibility.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It says in the Bible to seek counsel if you need
wisdom and advice about something in your marriage, so I decided to talk to a
woman at my church who I consider to be extremely Godly and wise. If I'm
being honest, I completely thought she would say that family and friends were
important enough to stand my ground. But she didn't. She carefully told me that my loyalty needs to be with my husband... not my friends, not even my family. God says in Ephesians 5:22 to submit to your husband, as to the Lord. She went on to say that submitting to your husband is showing obedience to God and He will bless you in that. She also told me that she didn't think this move even had to do with weather, that God might be giving Adam this desire for a reason. Maybe God has something for us in California that we aren't aware of yet. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Mark Driscoll from Mars Hill had a marriage series recently that Adam and I had listened to. I went back to one of the messages, where he and his wife were answering questions about marriage and giving advice. Pastor Driscoll's wife, Grace, was saying that most of the time in your marriage, you should be able to talk through situations and come to a decision together. Ultimately, if you disagree and it's a decision that needs to be made, the wife needs to submit to what her husband's decision is... and God will honor that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Then a few weeks ago, our pastor was talking about change. That change isn't always bad. That sometimes things have to
change. That God can use change. That sometimes I have to surrender
my plans and trust in Him. Mary experienced change when the angel told her she would be carrying the son of God, the savior of the world. Her response was, "I am the Lord's servant. May it be to me as you have said." My prayer is that I could have a heart like Mary. That I could surrender my plans and desire to control things, and trust in God. Psalm 37:23 says, "The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand." I find huge comfort in the fact that Adam is truly seeking God for wisdom. As the leader of our family, I know he doesn't take that lightly. He prays that if he is being selfish that God will take this desire away. Yet his desire continues to grow. We are praying and trusting that if this isn't God's will, it simply just "won't work out". Yet everything has gone more smoothly that I ever could have imagined. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As different of a situation as our adoption was,
I feel like it prepared me for this new challenge in my life. I never had
to depend so much on God as I did throughout our adoption. I never felt
His arms wrapped around us, telling us to depend on Him the way I did then.
Until now. I can feel God telling me to trust Him, along with an
underlying peace that it will all be okay. We are praying constantly
about it together. I have to say, standing by and supporting my
husband... it just feels right. It draws us together instead of tearing
us apart, because we are on the same team. I can tell it means a lot to
him that I am trusting and following him. Sure there are days
when I get really scared, days when I am really emotional about it. Somehow, I
can always find a new perspective. I remember that God will take care of
me. I remember how scared I was to make the decision to leave teaching,
but how blessed I've been to stay at home. I remember that I have an
amazing family that I get to do life with. I remember that my closest
friends will always be part of my life. I remember how thankful I am that
my husband has been such an awesome leader, awesome provider, and my biggest advocate.
I know he would stay here if I really wanted and needed him to, but there
are a few things I know. I know the weather is never going to change.
I know the rain will always bring his spirits down. I know that he
would always wonder "what if". I know I would feel responsible
for crushing his dream instead of being his helper. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
As easy as it can be for me to think about myself, God has been teaching me about selflessness. Maybe I was feeling like staying here was what I needed, but maybe moving is what he needs. Maybe it's what I need too, I just don't realize it yet. After all, God never promised me a safe and comfortable life. Maybe I'm supposed to get out of my comfort zone. Maybe I have been relying on other things when I need to be relying on God. Maybe we will make a bigger impact for His kingdom somewhere else. Maybe, a few years down the road, we will understand why God has us in Southern California and everything will all make sense. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Your support and prayers would mean the world. That I will continue to have peace about moving. That God will continue to guide us and open doors if we are taking the right path. For strength to make it through the tearful goodbyes. That we are able to make this new place our home. That our kids will make friends. That we will make friends. Above all, that our lives would glorify God and we could live radically for Him, no matter where we live.</span></div>
