08/21/08

-I met at a playground a lovely young woman who turns out to be a military christian wife. She invited me to a military wives bible study and I fell in love with it. I've been busy with the bible study, a possible facilitator for a bible study, a brunch and had friends over for dinner. Hence no pics or updates. Today is a day of play with the kids and for myself so I actually won't be posting pics just yet or writing too much. If you ever want the fun details you can always call :). The Lord is moving and it is always good to see/be apart of that movement.
-Brandon is in his 3rd week of Primary. Doing great but itching to fly. He may not fly the T-34 (naval propellar airplane) until a few more weeks, although it may be sooner than that.
-Arielle has been sick but a trooper. She's had it for a week and at the end of kicking it. She is such a sweet girl and has not been giving me that many issues. Hopefully the "terrible 2's" won't really be visiting in our house. Although we may have had an early version of that a few months ago when she was testing EVERYTHING. . I'm glad to be past that.
-Ellia is wonderful albeit a very shy baby. She was terribly upset when we first went to the bible study since there are a TON of women there. I thought it might just be the noise level. It wasn't. I went the next time and at that point there were only 4 people or so and she still acted overwhelmed. I had to work to get 'her eyes back on me' to see that all was ok. Get this, though: We had a couple and their young child over for dinner the other night. She was sleeping when they arrived. I nursed her when she woke up and came back to the table. She was facing away from our guests. I turned her around to sit in my lap and she SCREAMED as if I hurt her somehow. I quickly turned her to look at me and to see where the blood from my nail scratching her was. . . found nothing. odd. I turned her around and she HOLLERED. . .wow. that's all I have to say. You would think in her own home, held my mommy, daddy on one side and Arielle on the other would make her not so bothered by the new people but you would be wrong.

Hey you!!

Glad you have peoples to be with down there, mom was saying that you felt like you had no body....

I used this mousse in my hair today and it smells like the stuff you used to use when you lived at our house. =P I keep thinking " *sniffs*....hey, is Nicole here? Oh wait, that's me." lol it's some cactus flower and bamboo smelling stuff....smells really good. And like you. ^_^ Hehehe!1

hehehehehehe!!! the story of Ellia's phobia of people outside of your family is just too funny (and too familiar)!!!!! I really enjoyed talking to you the other night- we MUST do it more often....it looks like God lead us to the perfect house for us. We find out either this evening or tomorrow am- I'll let you know!
Love & Shalom, Alicia
