Update and Video Clips from July

Here are some cute clips from July:

This was taken on the 4th of July. The finale in Traverse City. The video didn't turn out that great but it is cute to hear Ethan talking.


This was the second clip taken on the 4th. I like how Ethan (not wanting the fireworks to be over) says: "They are just getting up because they are uncomfortable" Refering to everyone leaving because the fireworks are about over


These two were taken at the 1964 concert at the Cherry Festival:

Julia dancing


Ethan dancing


Now these are fireworks! This was the finale at Harbor Days in Elk Rapids. This video actually turned out ok


This is a viedo of Ethan and Julia being really cute, running around the house saying "Go team!" because they were excited about going to the beach, too cute!


I know I know Caleb isn't in any of these! I made sure I have a least one of him from August to post.

Well, the good news is that I have the opportunity to work from home for Christ's Hope International. I will be working around 10 hours a week doing bookkeeping. I start training this Thursday. This is an answer to prayer as I will be able to be home with the kids and also contribute financially. Thanks to Leanne for thinking of me when Dave mentioned needing help! Word of mouth works so well sometimes. I hope this works out for me. As far as Sean, please keep praying that a good job would come through for him. This has been such a hard time financially for us, but I know God is in control. And to take the words from my pastor, we are using "God's calculator" right now with our finances. The hardest part with some of the job prospects is the waiting, and then not even knowing if it is going to work out. I know God has a plan for us it is just hard sometimes knowing what God wants us to do or which path he wants us to take. Please be praying that Sean and I would have some clarity as to where God wants us to go next. The kids are all doing great, and my baby will be starting kindergarten soon! *cry* I know he has already gone to preschool but kindergarten just seems like such a bigger step! I am also very excited as our road is going to be paved in the next few weeks! Yeah! This is such good news as every time it rains a little more of our driveway disappears. hmm what else. We just had a really nice visit with Sean's brother Scott and his wife Stephanie, and their three kids. Their kids are about the same age as ours and Ethan and their oldest Sam really had a great time and connected on this visit! It is so great to see our kids play together. They live in Kalamazoo and we only see them once in a while so it was great to catch up with them. Ok this was really random so sorry if you didnt follow me, but I havent updated in a while and felt like typing. So there you go, thats our life right now. I can't wait to see what God has next for us.
