And I was kindly reminded of that fact by Aunt Lauren (who happens to be my sister in law, but is known to us all by Aunt Lauren). And since the kids are playing outside right now, I thought it would be a good time to update our poor little blog for the people who faithfully check it and are disappointed 99% of the time.....even though I'm on my first paragraph and I've already applied three bandaids and been interrupted multiple other times for things like a piece of paper and to straighten out a skirt -- this is why I don't bother with it!<br />

which we're very excited about. It makes us feel a little more settled. We've been saving to buy the kids a swingset for FOUR years -- and for the first time, we have a place where we can put it!

The kids LOVE it! It's a joy to see them learning and growing. They are becoming sweet friends with one another. There were a lot of uncertainties when we began, but so far, it's been far more rewarding than we had even imagined!<br />
<br />
Noah is in kindergarten. His favorite is math which he's doing exceedingly well in! The curriculum we chose includes <em>lots</em> of books which has also been wonderful. Abby is learning her letter sounds and practicing counting. She's so excited to learn how to read! Even Julia joins us! She's learning her letters (alongside Abby studying phonics). She also plays lots of homemade games -- practicing her fine motor skills, sorting, patterning, and other things like that.<br />
<br />
One of the best parts of educating the kids at home has been Bible study. We just started Exodus -- it's been a great learning experience for ALL of us!<br />

Here is our spring trip! My camera battery died the first night we were there -- so I don't have the pictures to prove it -- but it was a wonderful time! The kids love to ride their bikes and cook over fires!<br />

Luke is a master fire builder. He's teaching Noah here:<br />

Our sweet Abby has been a thumbsucker since 2 months old. Our dentist encouraged us to kick this habit by age four.....which will be here in July. So we bought the Thumb Buster, which is a mitten like thing that covers the thumb. The first 48 hours were pretty rough, but she stuck with it. She's so proud of herself now! Here she is the morning after her first night without sucking. Daddy brought her home a special donut!<br />

For the first time, we celebrated the entire season of Advent. We had purchased the Advent family devotional <em>Jotham's Journey</em> last year, but it was a little too soon for the kids. But this year, they did great! We substituted this devotional for our regular family devotion time. The kids were WAY excited about lighting candles every night!<br />

We spent the week surrounding Christmas in Missouri which is always fun. We saw LOTS of family! And squeezed in as many traditional activities in between that we could!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hey Everyone - I've got big news! Last night at about 9:00, Noah accepted Christ!!! He is a new creation!!!! I can barely keep from crying as a type this - I'm so happy! I feel like Jairus . . . . Jesus saved my child from death!!! I've emailed you because you, no doubt, are excited with me and in some way have a share in this miracle that God has done. I know that all the ministries that my son has been blessed by and taken part in have helped to ultimately lead him to the foot of the cross.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div>He's only 5, but I have no doubt that that boy is born again! Here's what happened: We have a family devotion routine that we do every night - it gets thrown in the order of events just like baths and brushing teeth. This devotion time consists of a children's devotional book, some singing, some praying, and a memory verse. I've prayed and prayed that God would honor and bless these times, as it takes EFFORT to make sure that we are purposeful about having this family time with God each night. Anyway, Sunday night's devotional was about Jesus' death. So guess what last night's was . . . . His resurrection! Noah knows both of these stories already; he's heard them before. But I could sense more of the Lord on the move last night. Noah was engaging a little more than usual and he asked an important question - "What happens to people that don't believe in Jesus" - out of the mouth of kids!!! So I told him. I didn't freak him out, but I just lovingly explained God's plan - along with hell - and the way it had to be and why it had to be. <br />
<br />
He got visibly upset and uncomfortable at the thought of hell - he almost cried. He pulled his blanket up tight around his shoulders and curled up. "What's wrong Noah?", I said. "Thinking about that makes me sad . . . makes me wanna cry" he said. I wanted to talk to him about it (obviously), but the girls were getting a little fidgety. I told Sarah I had to get him out of there. So we prayed real quick to finish up - Sarah tucked the girls in and I went with Noah to his room.<br />
<br />
I carefully explained to him that He doesn't have to go to hell - God made a way out! Noah has flirted lately with the idea of 'being a christian', 'getting saved', 'going to heaven' . . . but it wasn't truly clicking - it was just Christian-ese that he'd heard. Last night I felt truly compelled and moved to pray for him like never before - to present him to Jesus the same way that Jairus did with his little girl; to want it as bad as he did. GOD heard and GOD moved! I talked more with Noah about sin, what we deserve, why Jesus came, etc. I worked through the Romans road with him in a 5 year old way. I made sure he understood the key elements before we moved on to other verses. I could see him getting uncomfortable in his own skin- it was so interesting to see. I could see him being affected by something - almost plagued by what he felt like he needed to do. He had an Outsider leaning on him - a feeling that he hadn't felt before and didn't understand. It was the Holy Spirit knocking on his door! A 5 year old doesn't always understand what God on the move feels like! I got to witness my first born son . . . being changed in a moment by The Almighty!!!- So cool!<br />
<br />
Anyway, he decided that he had to have Jesus. He DID NOT want to go to hell and I could see his sorrow . . . he understood his need for a Savior. I said "Son, do you want me to pray with you? You can have Jesus in your heart right now?" At this point, I'm thinking "is this really it???" I'm ready to lead him through the sinner's prayer, one line at a time, but instead he prays on his own! "Dear God, I don't wanna go to hell. Please forgive me for my sins and beam me right up to heaven! Amen." I'm smiling, and excited, "Good job Noah, that was great. Now do you want me to pray with you and help you through it a little bit, so you understand?" Noah looks at me - "But I already prayed!", as if to say "once is enough silly daddy". His eyes said "I'm already saved!" He didn't need my fancy words . . . it was between him and God, and God made it happen in his heart. Praise the LORD! What a night. Sarah says "1 down, 2 to go . . ."<br />
<br />
Thank you all for you work in ministry. What you do makes a difference. Thank you for sharing in the joy of my son who is a child of the King! God bless you all . . . He sure has me!<br />
<br />
Luke 15:7 - Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. <br />

Abby was a pumpkin by default (we had the costume and she was excited about it), Noah wanted to be a conductor again (which was easy since that's what he was last year!), and Julia was a ballerina (which was also easy since she had been given this swimsuit over the summer!) We definitely don't put much thought into costumes at our house. : ) The kids were all happy with their choices, and, of course, I thought they were all adorable!<br />

It's this old train (our coach car was built in 1924!) that's part of a railroad museum. They have a variety of different themed events throughout the year, and right now happens to be a train ride out to a pumpkin patch and other fall activities.<br />

Julia's finally reaching an easier age to do things like that. So Luke took a Friday off work, and we went up to Myakka River State Park (about 45 minutes away) for a long weekend.<br />
<br />
Here's our campsite:<br />

Luke is the master fire builder. No camping experience is complete without a roaring fire, no matter the outside temperature.<br />
<br />
Here he is passing on his legacy:<br />

We have started having family movie nights every month. The kids get to cuddle up with their popcorn and we rent a movie from redbox. They LOVE this tradition!<br />

Noah was soooooo looking forward to putting the star on top of the Christmas tree!<br />

There have definitely been some adjustments as we moved from Ohio to Florida. One was the warm weather at Christmas time! It was definitely strange walking into the grocery store, seeing the decorations and hearing Christmas music while sweating. Don't get me wrong -- it's nice! Just very different.<br />
<br />
We took the kids to the boat parade. This will be a fun tradition we look forward to every year! All the boats were decorated in lights and playing music while they motored up and down the canal.<br />
