Pregnancy and life

Well, I'm starting to feel sick in earnest now, having thrown up the last 3 days...this in addition to my just feeling wiped-out-tired most of the time (which I've felt for about 2-3 weeks already), and feeling sick when I get hungry (which started a little over a week ago). Although it's not pleasant, at least I feel like I'm really pregnant.
We had a good Easter. Forrest canted an Easter Proclamation before the processional beginning of our service at our new church (Christ the King Anglican) which was really cool. The front of the sanctuary was all decorated beautifully with Easter lilies. After church we picked up our puppy and the food we were taking and went to my parents' house, and we all had a really good visit. Dinner was really good. I think I'm going to have to make potatoes supreme again soon, because they were just a little too liked and even though I had two medium-sized helpings, I wanted leftovers of them later. They're something that still sounds good, which is a big thing. When we got home the kids were all asleep so Forrest put them to bed and then he asked me if I'd like him to clean the house for me, so he did, which was really nice--nothing extra to do this morning.
Forrest is probably going to be working a lot more regularly now, which is a good thing, although it'll take me some getting used to. But I'm really happy that his new boss/new company sounds like they'll get him all the propane he needs so he won't have to get behind. That in itself should relieve a lot of stress, both for him and for me. It will be nice to have his work days a little bit more predictable. Also his boss doesn't want him to have to always do Montana, so eventually that will be someone else's route, keeping Forrest more local and more able to build up business in the Spokane area.
Well, I already told my kids it was breakfast time so I'd better go to the table too.

Please Pray...

I just found out that the company I work for is being sold to another company. My boss assures me that it is for the good and I will keep my job with the same level of compensation, but I've worked for these people for 6 years (the longest I've ever had a job) and a change of this magnitude is a bit unsettling.

More cute sayings from Noelle...

Lately Timothy has been saying in the proper course of conversation, "Speaking of ___,....." whatever we were speaking of.
Well, today Noelle said out of the blue, "Peeteen (speaking) of juice...tan I have juice?"
And then tonight during devotions, we were saying Psalm 134 together ("...the LORD who made heaven and earth bless you out of Zion.") and after we said Zion, Noelle pipes in, "The holy hill!" This is because as a family we have been working on memorization, and Psalm 2 is one of our current memory passages. ("I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill.")

Cute Noelle

Yesterday at church, Noelle wanted her little "Max" stuffed bunny. So I got it for her and she was holding him and she says, "Her sad." Then on accident she drops him...I pick him up and she says, "Ohhh...Max, Max, you're otay."
Then a little later she picks up my cell phone and says, "I talk to Da-ma" (Grandma). "Hi! Hi!" She turns to me and says, "Her not say hi-ing!"

And now highlights from her birthday:












































I made a doll cake for her...and it turned out really well.

We made it!

Well four and a half hours of surgery, 22 metal caps and 6 white caps collectively and all the kids teeth are fixed (for now). We're all tired but the kids are mending well and hard to keep from being to active.
