So, we had a late night last night. We had a bunch of high school kids here to watch the Broncos loose. I didn't get Liam to bed till 10:30 and Dave and I probably didn't actually fall asleep till around 1am. Dave had to get up early for work. G-man woke me @ 7:40 but after nursing he and I both went back to bed. Liam and I didn't get up for the day till 11:30. I know, lazy bums! But it was wonderful to sleep so soundly. Praise God for a refreshing night's sleep. Doesn't happen often.

Our pastor's daughter is in the hospital after a bicycle accident. She will be ok in the long run but there was a lot of ingury and it will be a long and painful recovery. We haven't been able to visit her yet as she JUST today got out of the ICU. My heart really hurts for her. This will affect her classes, her job, and her basketball season which should be starting soon. I wish there was something I could do to help. Things like this make me appreciate my life even more. It's made me love on Liam and Gabriel a lot more then normal these past two days.

I'm excited to start decorating for Christmas and Thanksgiving isn't even over yet. We went to Sam's Club today and found the tree we want. We've only ever had little trees but we decided that soon we'd like to get a taller one but still not to wide. It was a good price and prelit. We need to save a little money but hopefully we can get it by Thanksgiving so we can put it up on our decorating day (day after Thanksgiving Day). I love bringing out all the ornaments that have so much meaning. Liam's first Christmas, A ceramic one with a picture of us in front of our new house last Christmas,

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). ...
