Crazy Things have Happened


Well, it's been way too long since I've blogged. Since then, we've added another baby boy to our family. We now have 4 boys. Elijahs 5, Gabriels 3 Isaiahs 1 and Noah is the newest addition, coming in at 2 months or 11 weeks today! We've been so blessed, but still waiting to add some pink into our lives. Elijah now says he wants 2 TWO sisters! I think one will do! Elijah and Gabriel are usually best buds but that usually means they fight like worst enemies. 

Matthew has been in the Air Force for now six years & we've lived in Missouri for six years! We have no clue If it's Gods plan for him to stay in or get out. Once Staff results come out, we will know that. To be honest, it's scares me to think we may be leaving the life we've known for so long. I like the comfort of health insurance. I also just don't like change at all! Matthew on the other hand has his heart set on getting out. And I wish he didn't. He just doesn't like his job, or the people he works with. 

We are trying to get our debt under control, which is showing to be harder than it was before. We were 90% debt free a few years ago, with the Expectional of the house we own and our car loan, but I insisted we go home one time and that killed us. We weren't ready for that kind of trip with no savings. It doesn't help that family never helps out financially when we go home. Since they never come here his parents have started coming once a year, two years ago, that's it. You'd think if they wanted to see us more than once a year they'd help us come home, but they don't. If I dwell on it too much I start to feel a lot of anger come forward, so I try to to think about it. 

The boys are huge! Elijah starts kindergarten this year! That in itself makes me realize how old he's getting! Gabriel might get to start head-start- I'm praying he does! It would be really good for him. He needs the structure, the social interaction and needs to see that more people than just mommy gives rules and sticks to them. Isaiah will be 2 in September! He's so chubby and generally a happy boy! I'm hoping potty training comes easy for him! And Noah, well, he loves to smile, coo, and looking at himself. He fits in perfectly to our chaotic life.
