Ethan's been gone for 7 days now and
I'm pretty much ready to have him
back home.
He went to a pretty awesome lodge in Arkansas with
one set of grandparents then
made a switch and is now staying with my dad and step mom
in Oklahoma.
I even dreamed last night that he was lost in a GIGANTIC fun house type place
and I had to go find him but couldn't. When
I finally did find him he was just fine, tired and his shirt was ripped.
When I asked why he said "Oh, Tristan and I got into a spitting fight."
Hahaha.
I am so ready to have my little boy back.
On another Ethan related note:
I am supposed to sign him up for soccer today
but I
{mom of the year here}
cannot find his birth certificate to save my life.
I've looked EVERYWHERE!
I did find his original birth certificates from before the adoption.
I wonder if those paired with our adoption papers will work...
Our church has hit it rough over the last couple of weeks.
We have been burglarized to the tune of $10,000.
{thankfully it's been recovered and the perps are in jail}
Giving has declined sharply - it's bad.
Very bad.
Oh, and the baptistery flooded.
Our sanctuary was 3 inches deep in water.
Pray for us.
We need the help.
We still haven't heard anything about the new job David's going for.
His current job is getting harder and harder.
If they're not working him 19 hours a day they're working him 5 or 6 which
means a drastic cut in pay.
Which means fewer antiques, garage sales and Starbucks for me.
Oh, and money for bills but whatever...
Anyway...
David and I really hope he gets this job but we're open to
whatever job the Lord wants Him to have.
We're praying for a job that will allow David to have
set hours so that we can actually plan family time
and also that the job would provide exactly what we need
to live on as a family.
We're leaving my dream of being a stay at home mom in His hands.
He knows my heart is to serve my family
in my home full time.
Right now though, as my husband's helper, the best way I can serve him
is by working to help support our family.
Out of all of these crazy random pictures this one is my favorite.
He's like an Uncle Rico/Unibomber mix.
It's kinda awesome.

its hard work being the husband's helper. i know that .
wow girlie, you got a lot going on!
when ethan gets home, give him a high five for me. gabe kept calling his cousin nathan "ethan" and i kept trying to explain that the two are actually different people and names.
i will continue praying for the job situation. that is hard.
