This is a family that we know in B.C. They have a very sick little baby who has had a few heart surgeries. I am posting this so people can pray for him. Please visit his website and check out the pictures and the prayer requests. Also if anyone wants to support them with money let us know as we can send it to them. We just started sending them care packages with cracker, snacks and stuff like that so if anyone want to give that way also let us know and we will put it inthere monthly boxes. Thanks..bones family

Wow it's almost been an entire week since I updated. It's mostly because I have been super busy. Trinity has been keeping me busy and when she isn't Silver is. Im just so exhausted. Ryan worked 3 days ina row and now he is at school again... God bless all single parents I have no clue how they do it. I've started working out a bit and my body is sooo sore. I can't wait to get back into shape but right now I almost want to quit because it hurts.

Winter .... Iam not prepared for this. All this snow and cold. How not fun.

Ryan is considering a bit of an education change. He just might major only in Theatre and minor in english. His is very gifted in drama and it's silly really if he doesn't pursue it full on. But that would mean we would be moving in about 3 years so he could finnish his education. They don't offer what he needs to take here. He wants to be a professor. Alright SIlver needs me.....

Hello? Are there really other humans in this world? All I see these days is the walls of my house and poopy bums. Ah the many joys of motherhood....

Iam sick. My body is really sore and my throat is sore. Ryan is working again and I want to scream. Actually I want to cry. Iam so sick of whining, but it just seems that this season will never come to an end. I need to learn to embrace this time. I need to realise that this is my life and no one else's. Other people might be getting out, getting time to themselves, seeing their husbands for longer than one hour a day(four days a week), but for me that is not what is happening right now. THAT is not MY life. My life is different than that. I have no family here, when I am sick I don't have someone to come and save me for an hour or two so I can get a nap (except Carlie but hey man she works to hard to come and babysit for me). This is the path that we have chosen for now. To have children while going to school and working, to move away from family. I need to stop getting frustrated about this. God gives the the strength I need, he always has. I am strong because of him, because of the tough situations I have been in. Ya things are hard right now but I need to press on towards the goal. I gotta give it ALL over to God, not just some but all. I must stand strong, stay the course, look to Jesus, TRUST. Wow....TRUST, the most difficult thing in the world for me......TRUST. I will continue to FIGHT. To fight for the life I can and do have in Christ.

I needed that pep talk...thanks self :)

What's that? Ryan ...working....again? Yup.

Congrats Kristi on getting engaged! That's great! I really enjoyed reading all about the 10 letters and how he preposed. It's so romantic.

Im still worn out from our trip. I was pretty stressed out the whole time. First it was stress from not knowing how the kids would be in the car, then just the business of the weekend. Then the ride home. Ryan hasen't been home very much at all (as usual). I suppose I just need to get used to this. In 10 days he works 6. I was going to join a class (the creative journaling class) but it turns out that I can't. Ryan works this monday and probably next monday as well. I need to find a drop in class. At this point I don't even care what kind of class it is. Anything will do. Im going to call Masterworks tomorrow and find out about their classes.

Well another exciting blog............

We all survived the trip! We went to Thunder Bay for thanksgiving. The trip down wasn't so good, and we were only actually in Thunder Bay for a grand total of 50 hours. But it was great to see the family and they all relaly enjoyed seeing the baby and Silver. We ate some great food and had a good time. But man are we glad to be home.

We are activly looking for a great place to rent. We need something big like a house or a great apartment. If anyone knows of anything let us know. Thanks. We are going to go to the trouble of subleasing just to get out of this place we are in. Gotta run I just wanted to update a little.

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just borrowed a baby swing from the Jersaks! Wow it's like I have a whole new life. Trinity loves the thing! I have been able to actually clean my entire house! I even moved some furniture around. I can't believe how awesome it is. Thanks the Lord for baby swings!

So the gas company came over to our house yesterday. It seems that some of our neighbours have called the city to complain about our chimney (we have been trying to get our landlord to fix it for weeks). The gas guy looked at the chiminy and gave our landlord 24 hours to fix it. He said it could fall anytime! HELLO! If our landlord didn't get it fixed then they would cut off our gas! We are so getting out of here. We have desided to sublease. We just really need to get out of this house. Its too small and Im so sick of all the CRAP we have had to deal with.

I can hardly believe how refreshed I feel just from having this baby swing around! She's in it right now! Thanks Yvonne for letting us know about it!

Trinity has started to smile at us. It's so cool. She totally responds to us when we smile at her. It's very cool! On the other hand Silver has been driving me nuts. The past two days he has been screaming and crying about everything. It's been pretty hard. But we will get through it. It doesn't help that Ryan was gone all day yesterday and he is gone today (although for not as long as yesterday).

We are going to Bermuda for christmas! YIPPIE! My in-laws bought our tickets yesterday. We will get to see the whole family. Its going to be a good time. Well gotta get Silver to bed.

It's 10 pm and I am going to sleep. Although I have the feeling that as soon as I lay my head down Trinity will wake up. Silver went to sleep before 6:30. He was really tired. I tried to keep him up as late as possible but I just couldn't do it.

Rachel, how is school? I read your blog the other day about dance. When you come back this next summer lets take a class together. That way we can actually see each other. It would be a blast! Maybe we could even convince Carlie to join too! That would be great.

I want everyone to know that RYAN GOT A PROMOTION AT WORK! Im very proud of him. He has really worked hard and earned this. So now we will alway get the great benefits, and he is now making more money. So he will not have to ever work his midnight job again.

We are going to Thunder Bay for thanksgiving. I am totally dreading the drive. We are only staying 3 days (the maximum amount of time I choose to spend with my whole family). I love my family but I so much rather spend time with a few of them at a time than the WHOLE CLAN! There are 21 of us now (that's just my parents, my sisters and there husbands, and all the kids). Have I ever mentioned how much I don't like big LOUD crazy crouds? Being the youngest daughter in the family was not easy. And I've never liked the box my family puts me in. Everytime I go back home I can feel myself being pushed into that little box. YUCK! From what I have noticed almost all families do the sort of thing. One kid is the bratt, one the messy one, another the snob.... you know stuff like that. Being the youngest with so many sisters (in my experience) sucked. It was pretty hard at times. I felt too often like I had 4 mothers. Anyway that is just a small portion of my issues. Perhaps I will write more on this some other time.....or perhaps not.

WOW I don't update much. When Ryan is away all day I have no time and when he is here we are so busy just hanging out and doing family stuff I have no time. Not that my blogs are exciting.

I finally had my first root canal today. Check this out our new health plan pays 100% for most dental! This for us is a major thing! Because I have a few rootcanals to get and they are 400-600 a piece. So we are going to save a ton of cash this year.

Yvonne..I think I am going to try and get one of those swings. Im pretty sure that Trinity will like it and it will save me from a very sore neck and shoulder. Oh....shes up gotta run.
