Major postings

Well, it's been a few weeks since I posted and I had a lot to post. So, let me update you on things around here. First of all, we have decided after a lot of trying, that for some reason the Lord doesn't want us to get a home right at the moment. Everything we try from finding a home to financing, something little in every attempt stops us. And, very strange it's never the same thing, in each instance they have been totally different things. Strange, I know, so we prayed about it and came to the conclusion that know just isn't the time. We need to pay off some of our debts and continue saving. So, that is what we are planning on doing.

Second- Matt is loving his job, he starts out on the floor this coming Thursday. It has been such a great job for our family. The insurance alone is all worth it. After having a $10,000.00 dollar deductible for the year and a premium of about $2,000.00 a month for the last 3 years, which I can't complain, because at least we were insured. And sadly we have met that deductible every year. Know our premium is $75.00 a month for our whole family to be insured and not have a deductible and having pretty much everything covered has been a great blessing. He looks forward to going to work, which is a major difference. I just tell him, it's because he finally has a job, that suits him and he will be great at it. He doesn't have to just work there until something better comes along. Because, this is great!

Third- We have enjoyed our Easter holiday and going crazy with the yoyo weather. Sunny and warm one day and then cold and snow the next. We are hoping that it is finally going to start to warm up and stay that way.

Fourth- Just quickly some things that Colton is saying and loves to eat. He is trying so hard to talk, he is saying a lot of different syllables now. He can say- Baby, Me, Nanna (banana), Bird, Dog, Cheese, Hi, Hey, that is all I can think of off the top of my head. He loves to eat carrots any way you give it to him, cooked, raw, he will eat them. He likes cherry tomatoes- the other day, he wanted the fridge opened and I opened it and he pointed to the tomatoes, I asked- "You want one of those?"- he shook his head yes, so I gave him one, he popped it in his mouth at it and walked off. He loves croutons, jerky, chocolate, pears, apples, bananas, corn is his all time favorite he will eat the whole can if we would let him. Let's just say, I don't like to change his diapers after he has corn. He likes, raisins, craisins, goldfish, cheese, ice cream pretty much anything. He loves to dance, read, play outside, go for walks, help around the house, he helps unload the dishwasher, picks up his toys, clean up, throw things away. He kneels and folds his arms for prayer, it's precious. I'm going to try to catch it on film. And he loves to talk. He joins in on any conversation he can and acts like such a grown up.

I mostly write all these details down for our family history. My friend Alison listed a great site on her blog one day that you can convert your blog to a book. I just finished my first one for the year 2008. It was a lot of fun and really easy, it transfers everything over for you. I inserted the comments also. I'm going to make one for each year for our family history. I made a hard bound copy for us. Then for our kids I would like to make a paperback copy for them to have for their future families to see. The site is called Blurb. It's http://www.blurb.com/ I sure enjoyed it and the prices weren't too bad, considering what it does for you.
