Longtime no see!

Well I have decided to once again blog and keep you all up to date with us. So here goes....
Life is good but busy. Justin is working five days a week at Focus on the Family. The children and I drive Justin to work on Tuesday's and Thursdays so we can have the van. We drop him off and then go to our church, Cloverdale Baptist Church. Tuesdays I have a mom's Bible study (Which I am really, really enjoying!) and Thursday's there's a mom and tot's thing called "Busy Bees" that we go to. Each thing is about two hours but there's alot more driving and rushing around early in the morning in order to get there on time. But its worth it. The children and I really like going, visiting and meeting new people, and just getting out of the house makes things smoother and the week go quicker. Speaking of the house, we are still here in Surrey housesitting Justin's grandma's place. We are enjoying it here very much. It looks like as of late that we'll be here until April '08. Then we are praying to find a townhouse near either our church in Cloverdale or Justin's work in Langley. That way one of us can walk and the other have the van. Also I am praying that it will be close to a Sam's future school so Tias, Saffron, and myself can walk him to it. And then maybe I'll take in some school kids who also need to be walked and picked up and looked after til dinner just to make some extra cash. We'll see though, three children keeps my arms full and patience maxed out. Speaking of children, they are all getting so old. Well not really but it seems like yesterday Sam was just a little guy and a week today he's going to be four. I can't believe how time is flying. In some ways it seems like forever ago and in other's it seems like yesterday. He's grown like a weed these last few months. In one month he grew too tall for all of his pants. He's doing really good at his alphabet and counting. And he's learning how to read and write. It's so fascinating watching him learn how to read words for the very first time. I've never experienced learning in such a raw and fresh way. Mattias is 18 months old and trying really hard to say everything. He says hi, bye, ball, p-ees(please), mo(more), mama, papa, and his words for everything else. Lately he has taken to Sam's stuffed Monkey named "Flap Jack". Tias calls him "fap fap" and doesn't go anywhere without him. He takes him to bed, church, playroom, in the van, everywhere. It's really cute. He's still a great sleeper having his two-three hour nap after lunch and going to sleep by 7:30pm. He's up earlier these days though, about 7:30am. Saffron is 6 months old and is starting to eat solids. She's had vegetables, fruit and cereal. Nothing too complex but seems to like it all. She really saviour's every bit. It's actually quite hilarious how she sucks her lips in and makes funny noises with every bite. She's sort of "crawling" around. She lays on her back, looks upside down and scooches with her head and feet. She loves her jolly jumper and exersaucer. She's quite easy going but has her opinion about things too. She jibber jabber's constantly and often sounds like "ET" or "Darth Vader". She's quite the character and the boys love her to bits. Lots of hugs and kisses and scrape and bruises. Tias likes to swap soother's with her which she's not too keen on having a bigger soother shoved in her mouth by an 18 month old. Her and Tias are both in size 3 diaper and not far off in length. Saffron is quite long and lean. Just enough chub to be cute and to fit her pants properly. Tias is a bit of a picky eater and is thinning out quite a bit. Not that we don't try to feed him, he's just not that interested in food these days. Well that's the up to dates on us as of now. I will be blogging more often from now on.
