SEATTLE!!

We're here! This is a picture from the car on our way through town to Dave's dad's house:

This is when we first arrived at the house:

We left after youth group on Sunday night and the boys slept the 1st 9 hours which was a huge blessing and made the trip way smoother. We got awesome gas mileage in the new minivan so we didn't have to stop very often for gas and only had to stop for food twice. We made it here in great time.

So, today we walked downtown Ballard. There's some cute little shops and coffee shops on every corner. We went to Archie McFees which is the some random store ever. They sell lots of crazy little toys and silly things. We bought Liam a plastic Ballard Salmon which he's been carrying around all afternoon. We stopped at a cute little shop and bought a pound of locally made fudge. Wonderful! Yumyum.

Tonight we're hanging out with Nic and Melissa, two of our closest friends from Lakeside Bible Camp. Melissa was the first person who heard the news of both our pregnancies and I was in her wedding line up. Nic was the guy who always brought out the teenager in Dave. They always brought out the craziness in each other. So, they've been married for about 8 1/2 months now. If we could we would uproot them and move them to Grand Junction.

It's a . . .

BOY!! Liam is a big brother to a beautiful baby boy! Gabriel Asher was born at 8:55 PM on March 16th. He weighed 9lbs. 2.9oz and was 21 inches long. We were at church for a meeting with all the youth workers and after the meeting I (Kami) was having more intense contractions and just not feeling right. A mother of a couple of our high school girls offered to take me home with them and let me rest at their house while Dave stayed at church to run our Sunday night youth group. It wasn't long after arriving at their house that my water broke. I called for Dave to come pick me up and we headed to the hospital. It was slightly under 3 hours later that our little boy came into the world. It was quick and everything went smoothly. Gabriel got a 9 out of 10 on both his apgar tests which made us proud. He's nursing like a pro and so beautiful! ...

A mother of 3 boys

I have to be honest in hopes that it will encourage you to pray for me. I now have a 5yo, 4yo and 2yo. I am over whelmed and had my first major break down today. I say "major" because I have actually had many breakdowns but this was the first with tears I just couldn't control. This is WAY harder then I thought it would be. Or maybe it's just that the "difficult things" I tried to prepare myself for aren't very tough at all. There are many things that I just wasn't prepared for and it's knocking me off my feet. The boys are acting like brothers. Yes, this sounds like a good thing. The issue? That means they fight. . . there's screaming, scratching, pushing and biting involved. It's not all the time but I have to watch them so things don't get out of hand. I have been so tired. I don't think it has anything to do with the jet lag anymore but more of just a physical issue I have struggled with since Gabriel was born 2 years ago. I a...

Stinky, Uncontrollable Moments

The boys and I were going to join Dave at Quest (middle school camp) in Olympia this weekend. Dave is the Quest director and although he'd be working and busy we were excited to be able to go and have a weekend away. So, why am I now sitting on my couch watching Ice Age with my family on Friday night instead of hanging out with middle schoolers at camp? Let me share the insane story with you. . .           We hit the road in our van and while driving over White Pass we had car trouble. . . bad enough that we couldn't drive the van any farther.           In the rain, Dave worked and worked to try and fix the belt that partially tore and then came off it's track. We didn't have cell service so we had no idea what to do.           Finally, a Good Samaritan stopped and offered us a ride to Naches (the closest town back towards Yakima). ...
