Absence and Growing Fonder

Sometimes my absence from this forum causes me to wonder if I am intentional enough about expressing my thoughts. In any case I've wandered back into this blog so I think I will record a few of my thoughts and update the public on my whereabouts.

My family and I have now been in Texas for more than nine months. I have had a roller coaster ride with possible changes to my job and Liz has had a hard time with her nursing boards: twice. Our children have also had their ups and downs. Matthew started out his fourth grade year feeling ostracized from his class and excluded from hanging out with the two other boys in his class. However one of those boys has now made a concerted effort to include Matthew if not befriend him instead of his previous playmate. Alexander has continued to be a terror at night. However the doctor feels his problems are probably not a behavioral and rather stem from acid reflux. I hope so.

Life has been difficult but I know that the Lord has some plan for us. Why do I believe this? I believe this because the Lord has promised to work for our good.

Sugar and Spice

Just about everything is ready for Isabella's arrival. We've painted Isabella and Lex's room a soft yellow or off-white and we painted the closet and trim a color called nature's green. We aslo rearranged the room and added a crib, changing table and several other things to make the room look really nice. We put together the new stroller that Liz was given at her baby shower at work and put the new carseat stand that goes with the stroller in the truck: the vehicle that Liz will be using. Over the past several weeks we've made additional changes to both the inside and outside of the house. Liz painted our bathroom a bright light green. We raked up the leaves in the backyard (although more have fallen since) and we put in a true compost pile in the back right corner with wire fencing that Liz attached to some metal stakes. I also planted a red oak in the front yard to replace the maple tree we had cut down and I planted a photinia bush to close up the gap between o...
