* Josiah has some new accomplishments. He can now push himself to a sitting position. And he's getting up on his hands and knees and rocking. Yesterday he was making little crawling motions. So, he might be crawling pretty soon. He's eight months old today. Wow, where did the time go?? In the last week and a half or so, he's decided that food is good stuff. He now eats quite a lot of baby food for each meal. It's so much fun to shovel it into his open mouth! :-) The bottle is still not his favorite thing, but he's gradually getting better. I think he's still struggling with the concept of filling up his tummy when he's awake. He still likes to snack. So, I keep urging him gently in the direction of not snacking all the time.
* We're slowly getting into the school routine. I'm struggling with being happy about the time commitment it requires of me. I do like the Sonlight stuff that we're doing. I guess I'm just struggling with contentment with where I'm at in life and the job that God has called me to.
* The Grabers are coming, the Grabers are coming! Neal, Sandra, Heather, Meriah, and Shania are arriving here tomorrow afternoon. Yay! So, I'm expecting the next week and a half to be mostly partying. :-) We might even go camping on Sunday night. I was really looking forward to that, but the weather is a lot cooler already, and Josiah is sometimes fussy, and I'm starting to feel wimpy about it. We'll see...
* I just have to say that I love my kids so much! God has graciously been teaching me patience and love and how to value them more. Don't think I'm perfect though! Caleb has taken to asking me, "Mom, are you getting mad?"!! That makes me stop and examine my heart and my words!!
* And then there's my dear hubby. God is doing a great work in his heart! I'm so thankful that he is seeking God and saying yes to Jesus! And I have such a struggle to TRUST God in the process. I'll just confess here that two of my besetting sins are fear and control (a form of pride). I get so worked up about stuff that I think Keith should do or shouldn't do, etc. Then when I give it to Jesus and confess my fear and control and just pray for him, God does something in his heart. Of course, duh! (To quote a certain young niece of mine.)
* That's all for now. My two big boys are at Grandma Graber's for the day and I have computer and internet work to do. I'm closing in on buying a digital camera! Yay!
* One more thing... Keith and I are going back and forth on whether or not we should go to Winnipeg for Kim's wedding. Sept. and Oct. are so busy already, it would cost quite a bit, to make it "worthwhile" we should really go out on Thurs. and take the boys to the zoo or something on Fri. - which would all cost more money. We could just go Sat. and come back Sun. and leave the boys here. But we said we wouldn't do that again after the trip to Dad's wedding. I really want to see Twila and the others who will be there and OF COURSE, see Matthew and Rhonda, and I'd love to see those three adorable little flowergirls. And of course, it would be great to see Little Kimmy get married to her handsome man and share in their joy. Oh dear, what should we do?? AARRGGG!
* Okay, that really is all for this time. (This was gonna be a quick little post!)

Hope the school year goes well for you. I was kind of wondering what kind of camera you have decided on? Kerry and I are looking for one also. Consumer report just recently carried a report on digital cameras that we found helpful.
wow, when you update, you do it properly! :)
of course you should come to Kim's wedding. :) what's to decide? just kidding. I know how those kind of decisions go.
so, what kind of time does school take for you? did your math and language arrive?
Jenny - I've pretty much decided to get a Canon Powershot A610 or A620. What are you thinking? What did Consumer Report say??
Rhonda - It's sorta too soon to tell for sure. We haven't done a whole day's work in a day yet. But I'd say at least an hour without math and language. (No, they haven't come yet.) And that includes reading a story or two to Logan as well.
Canon took the top on all the different categories in the Consumer Reports. The A620 took top in the compact cameras categories. It has excellent print quality and battery life. The A610 is not mentioned. Probably because it is a little older model, but judging from all the Canons it probably would be a good one too.
Hi Jen Martin! Thanks for the update Jenni. Maybe we can talk this weekend after I sleep. = P I had a rotten day today and I feel as though I'll never be able to do this job. Oh wait, this is about you not me, sorry!! I miss you! And Rhonda too! And Jen Martin too. WHAAAAA!!! I'm in a big baby mood. My roommate is mowing the grass that is longer than my hair so I feel like I should go make something good for her to eat or something like that... but my head feels like it might split in to. Ooops, again, this is about you, oh wonder gracelady of the northland. I guess I don't have to post now. This is my word verification. It hits me funny for some reason: ZZHMZRUB
Rachel, I think your word verification means you're supposed to get some zzzz's and a back rub!
Oh, about the camera, I picked the A610 over the A620 because the only differnce is megapixels. The A610 has 5 and the A620 has 7. According to numerous people, you really only need 3 - 5. So, now I'm going to see if I can order it!
What's the zoom on that? I think I got the 700 for the zoom.
It's a 4x optical zoom. Yeah, yours is a much better zoom, but I can't afford it. :-)
