FInally an Update

Hello All! I know it has been FAR too long since I have updated my blog. My sincere apologies!! :) So on to the update.......

Things are going well here at Gateway. We are adjusting and this is becoming more normal everyday. I do have to say that I am still terribly homesick, but God keeps reminding me that this is where He wants our family and that we are doing His work.

Most of you probably know this, but we are expecting baby #3 the end of January. We are very excited and can't wait to meet our baby girl! Liberty and Caden as very excited as well and love to feel mommy's belly and talk to the baby. They have enjoyed their baby cousin Abel so much and that makes me excited to see them interact with our baby. The pregnancy is going pretty good. I get tired very easily and am alot more sore than I have ever been. But overall I can't complain.

Libby is adjusting to life here so well. It makes me very thankful. She started preschool the middle of September and is loving it. It makes me tear up from time to time when I drop her off. She is just this "big" little girl going into school with her backpack. She waves at me all the way in. Time just goes so fast. I remember when she was a little baby. She is has learned to write her name. Although it isn't perfect is is pretty good for a just 4 yr. old who just started preschool. She knew how to write it before then, but I think they are practicing tracing their names, so that helps her get better. For the longest time she would only write Libb, she would never put the Y. Now she puts the Y and is SO proud of herself. She's getting so big and I just love her more and more everyday.

Caden is doing wonderful adjusting, too. He loves Gateway and loves the fact that he can play outside so much more. He enjoyes the barn so much. He will go outside to play and I will go to look for him and he will just be in the barn feeding the horses or playing with the ropes. He just plays outside doing "work", just like daddy. It is so cute. Yesterday he came inside with a stick just about as tall as him. He just loved it and had a fit when I wanted him to play with it outside. He loves the girls in our house and talks about them all the time. I feel like him and Libby almost think they are apart of our family. It is so neat to watch them interact.

We are in the process (actually Dustin is in the process) of repainting the kids' rooms. We painted Libby and the baby's room Electric Lime and Bright Pink and Caden's room Navy and Orange. They look so good and I will post pictures as soon as they are done. I hope to be able to figure out how to post pictures soon. We should have internet at our house by the beginning of next week, so after that I will def. update my pictures here and on FB.

Well....that is about all I have time for tonight. We are on duty and it is almost snack time. Sorry for being so bad in posting lately. Hopefully I will do better. I just need to update a couple times a week. I haven't posted in SO long and it just seemed like there was so much to update on. I have probably missed something, but I guess that's okay. Have a good evening everyone!

Night!
