Update

If you haven't noticed, I have been a little absent in the blogging department over the last month. That said, it has been a very trying and exhausting month for us. Four weeks ago Erik lost his job. As a result, the past month has been an extremely difficult one as we seek God's guidance and provision for our family. Though it has been a time of complete helplessness we are not without hope. God has put so many fellow believers in our path. We have been blessed beyond any measure and are so thankful that though there is so much uncertainty at this time, we are constantly reassured that God is still God and that He ultimately is in control. Please pray that Erik finds a job soon. We have seen God do amazing things, and we know He will continue to provide for us. Please also pray that we will keep our eyes of Him at this time. It is so hard to see the master plan when we are in the middle of it.

Please also be in continued prayer for my dad. He is still undergoing treatment every week. So far it has been pretty hard on him. Pray that the chemo and antibody drug are effective and pray for my dad's continued healing and strength.

On a more upbeat note, the kids are doing great. Grace started preschool last month and is having a blast. We did take her for her 1st eye appointment this week and are thankful that she has perfect vision. This had been a concern of ours as I needed glasses at her age.

Here is a picture of Grace on her first day of school and a picture of all 3 kids that day.

Lena is growing up so much lately. Her speech has taken off in the last month, and she can now say just about anything. Here is a picture of her at Dsiney on Ice! We were thrilled to be able to get free tickets!

And last but not least is our little man, Micah! He is such an amazing little boy. I am definitely enjoying him. So far he is our happiest baby. He is content most of the time and brings such joy to us. At his 2 month appointment he was 14lb 6 oz and 24 1/2 in long! He has started smiling and cooing at us- which is so rewarding!

I am to the point of exhaustion. I have been trying to work as much as possible since Erik lost his job, at the same time I am coaching soccer at DC. I have really enjoyed coaching, but will be relieved when the season is over at the end of next week. That way I will be able to focus on working more and keeping up with things at home.

I had been avoiding posting until now because if I don't put it in words, then it really isn't happening- right? Well, that being said, I had better get ready for work. Hope you are all well and that you enjoyed the pics of the kiddos.
