My journey on the path of knowing who I am in Christ has begun as I have started working through the steps in Celebrate Recovery. Granted, I am only on step one and barely scratched the surface of the 26 week program but I am thrilled to be working through my life issues and figuring out how to live in freedom through Christ. I was going to write more but I think that about covers it. :)

God has a very interesting way of helping and motivating us to clean up which often, for me, leads to cleaning out. This weekend was spent hastily cleaning the kids' house. While we cleaned, we discovered things that needed repairs. I find it interesting that when we decide to clean our hearts, the same thing happens. I often find that when I start cleaning one area of my heart from a habit or

In 11 days I leave OR and head to BC. I can't wait for pudgy cheek kisses, hugs from kids taller than I am and ... cookies. How lame, but it's cookies I miss... Fudgeeos and Peek Freans Fruit Cremes. I will miss Saturday gaming and my diet Mountain Dew... not to mention Cherry Coke Zero and it will be weird to see Walkmart with no wine or beer.

This random, must be blogged thought, is for my friend Lara, who I miss but often don't say so. "I really need two separate sinks (not a double sink) to help with the amount of food that I prepare at one moment."

Kristen blogged in the last couple of days.  Her Meme passed away and she's reflecting on her own life as we often do when death completes the grand circle.... I am thinking of my own Grandpapa because whenever someone else loses someone close to them, I think of my first loss. I really don't remeber much about his life or his death, but I remember how empty I felt and how much I missed him and

My newest and most profound concept to learn, yet oddly something I have not gone through, is forgiveness. I love that it's still Christmas time and that I am going to learn this concept starting now because some of us are celebrating the birth of the Saviour. I hope that by Easter I will have a larger understanding of forgivness so that I can celebrate that season like no other in my 16 year

It's that time of year... yes Christmas and stockings and turkey and Merry Ho Ho, but more the "resolution" time of year. I have claimed for many years to not make resolutions for the same reason that I claim to be a non-competitive person. Who knows me knows that I have a competitive side but only when I think I can win. My resolutions are no different. I make them all the time not just for the

Staying on the straight and narrow path is not easy at this time of year. When I say the straight and narrow path I do not mean the biblical one but more the one that I am on, not looking left to the green grass on one side or the fancy garden on the other side. I am referring to a path that I took rather than the one I didn't take...I am rather melancholy as of late but I will not blog the

I sent out the evite and made the event in Facebook. I clicked on just about everyone we know and now comes the OH MY GOSH what did I just do reaction. Well, here's hoping to a fun time and praying that people actually show up. Am I the only one who ever thinks that about their own parties?

While I watched Paige as I held her, she was "talking" to me and when I looked into her eyes to say hi back, I noticed the reflection of the Christmas tree lights in her eyes. Now, burned into my memory are the tiny multicoloured sparkles that made her eyes twinkle. How do I capture that on the camera? I need to take a mechanics of photography course so I can at least know how to TRY to take

When I was little, I enjoyed crafting. I remember one day cutting little circles out of white paper, folding them up, cutting them into snowflakes, tying them to string then tying each of them to a hanger. I remember the smell, the feel, the look of my basement playroom, I remember the colour of the dimly lit space and I remember the final product was hung where I could admire it. This comes to

No one has actually asked me what I want but I was feeling sorry for myself today because I see people making lists and I know they will get some of the stuff on their lists... hmmm feeling sorry myself... chewing on that reality. I hate that feeling so to turn it around, ironically enough I wrote my Wish List.... there is no BS attached to this one, it's simply what I want for Christmas. A

I just read my friends blog HERE and she mentioned me. My comment was way too long to post as a comment and I started laughing while I wrote it out so I decided to copy her idea of her blog and do it too.To Lara: (spoken in teenager "like hello" tone of voice) Yaaah.....hello!?We have little kids but we still go through:21 bananas min/week10-15 apples,42 yogurts,2 bags of granola,we've banned the

Does anyone have 1 - 2 - 3 Magic DVD series that they would be willing to loan me? I hear this technique is amazing and I would like to try it but don't have the time or patience to read the book. I might go buy it tomorrow so if you do have it or know someone who does, I would like to check it out :) THANKS!

This weekend is a landmark weekend in my new world with Paige. No husband. It was inevitable because he's a scout leader. I was so worried yesterday, but I have some friends jumping on board with cheering me on and I think I can do it. I am even heading to Denise's house for a Discovery Toys party and then INCLUDING church in my effort to return to normalcy. Actually what is normal anyway...

Me - "Hey buddy, did they use the gel to freeze it before they gave you a shot?" Austin - "No, they stuck a needle right through it...(a few seconds pass) Mom, aren't you mad at me?" Me - "No hunny." Austin - "Why not, I was playing with a knife." Me - "I think that was lesson enough." Sometimes as a mother I am obligated to say stuff and then thankfully sometimes there is nothing left to say...

I was about to write about what help is to better understand it myself but I don't think that I understand it enough to, as Tanya said, make a philosophical blog about it. Here is me sorting it out...I do need very specific help so I am thinking about how to ask for it through this.... The way that I automatically understand help is taken from the following example of my life as an only child

I subscribe to a number of baby newsletters. I am sure you know the type, "this is what your baby is doing or what you can expect in the next week blah blah blah." While I am doing that, I have Paige, sleeping on my chest being cute and squirming a bit. I just got a comment on my post about enjoying Paige so much and then I read in my newsletter about parental leave.... my heart broke while I

My favorite moments with Paige are, holding her for hours in my chair while i click around with Lappy. waking up with her cheek on my chest and my daily smile session that comes at random and gets longer everyday.Lord help me to keep these moments locked away in my memories as Paige grows into the child you've made her to become.

Consider it pure joy when you fall into various trials. Really? Really?! Really. Okay so upon further investigation into this verse, I come to a definition of the word joy. The definition is lengthy with many ways of explaining it but the one that sticks out, similar to the thorn that seems to be in my side, is (n.) The sign or exhibition of joy; gaiety; mirth; merriment; festivity.Next thought

I have a baby on my lap. Apparently and according to everyone else, she's getting bigger. I don't see it. But then when I see that typed in there, I am reminded of an anecdote of boiling a frog. If one places a frog in a pot of water and boils the water while the frog sits in it, the frog will acclimatize itself and never notice the water increasing in temperature and die from being boiled.I

God has been so good to us!This weekend many of us celebrated Thanksgiving. I have always wanted to be able to sit down to dinner and go around the table with the food sitting in front and have everyone say what they are thankful for but now we have so many people and so much room that for the first time we have a designated kid table and an adult table!But as I sat and ate my dinner I was

Cathie, thanks for dinner tonight! It was SO wonderful to have you over and we always love it when you come for a visit. Cathie's visit made me think though.... Whenever I open my laptop, through the wonders of technology, I am automatically connected to my home network. To put it simply, I wish that I could plug into my church and get new and old relationships reconnected. *sigh* Sometimes I

10 and 1/2 days ago Kevin and I were blessed enough to bring into the world a new being. My doctor prayed with Paige and I yesterday and reminded me of the wonder of 2 cells coming together and making a whole being. Today, studying Paige's face, her eyes, her ears, her tiny peeling hands, I realized again, that God is a truly amazing maker. She's so precious to us. Not that the other children

I feel so bad about whining so much. My braxton hicks get stronger and stronger as time passes and I can only assume that my body is going to be MORE than ready to go when it's time. I really do mean to be pleasant and lovely like a princess but I feel like I am being a spoiled rotten princess just whining and complaining about the wait for something that I already have, not unlike a child

Recently I stumbled upon an old friend on Facebook. Some of you know and love her already but I wanted to share her blog with the resta' ya because her style is much the same as all of ours. Yesterday, I read her new one and asked her if she would be okay if I blogged about her.

The first kind of contraction that we learn as English speaking people is to take two words and make them into one. I do not want to go into detail because I don't want to bore the non grammar lovers. I find it ironic that I enjoy speaking without contractions but today I want to blog about contractions in the medical sense. Braxton Hicks contractions are named for the doctor who "discovered"

April was a great month for us as a family. We moved into this amazing house and began to make it home. The first room on my list to be set up (besides the bedrooms) was the playroom. The playroom is a room that needs to accomodate 8 people. The reasons vary from day to day but basically it was my vision to create an environment that ANYONE could relax or play in and clean up and RESET. On

Awwww! Thanks KIM! I appreciate that. After I wrote that post, I really did go into my bedroom and start on what needed to be done. Up 'till a few hours ago, the crib had a bouncy seat, the diapering bin, and a few other straggly bits in it, the tower of pink (Paige's "dresser") had a laundry basket on top of it and the dresser still had the mirrored vanity on it but that's where the change

Does anyone know the poem that is written from a mom to her family that says something about "if it's dirty, clean it, if it's full, empty it, if it's hungry feed it"? When I was growing up before I moved to BC, my step dad DRILLED into me that if you walk into a room and see something that needs doing, you do it if you are capable. The thing is that when you are a tween or teenager you can find

No baby yet. Well, that's not true, she's here, just not in my arms quite yet. After timing contractions for a few days, telling the nurses at the hospital about my other kids' timing in the past and hearing and trying to get it into my head that this is all about timing, I have made it to the point where I have things a bit more in perspective. Tomorrow marks the day where some documentation

I love that I have a laptop, that I am fortunate enough to know my body and that I get to blog that I am on my way to the hospital in moments. YAY! All I have to say is holy cow what a horrid weekend, but I am darn sure now that I was in labor! Now, I am breathing through really mega contractions, contemplating a bite of toast and wondering how long it will take, how many people will show up and

UPDATED Sept 13 11:15am see below Firstly, Paige is/was in 'occipital posterior position' as of Thursday. My contractions, that yes are braxton hicks for the most part, have been waking me up at night and the reason is that Paige's back is resting on my vena cava and through the thin walls of her tiny home, makes my eyeballs pop out and my heart pump in my throat...but then I wake up and they go

My pattern for going into labour, while taking longer than the last 4 times, has begun. Last night I felt like, "that's it, it's never going to get here and I will be pregnant for either ever or a whole 4 weeks longer." For a few days, past my 3am urination call, I've traded the sleep for anxiety over whether or not my birth plan (or at least my get the hospital WITH Kevin to have a baby) will

McDonalds is smart but Jilian is brilliant. Today for the 5th time since I heard what Jill does for kitchen cloths, I took freshly bleached and washed cloths out of the dryer, folded them neatly, put them into the closet and set the bag back into the pantry awaiting a new batch of soiled cloths. Here's what she does and now I do... I use a cloth. If it gets too dirty (stinky is waaay beyond dirty

Today marks week 35! Woohoo!!! We've made it without complications, preterm labour or any worries. God has been so good to us during this time. Between getting this great new house, moving miracles with the help we got, the great weather we had all summer making it easy for me to be pregnant, Warren being born (he's so cute), a prebaby shower and if Kevin's gut is right and the ultrasound is too

First of all, I had to share this with you guys because I really just want to keep on trucking with getting over "shame" of breastfeeding anywhere. I have SUCH a busy fall and winter, that if I do not continue to pour into my world the wonder and amazement of breastfeeding, I will not be able to nurse at school, on the way to school, at church or just at the mall.... I really love that mommas do

To start and following, with an explanation, I hate being "crazy Jen" so, for the record and as a prayer and request, stop making this a reality in the universe and change it to a positive. TaraLynn told me YEARS ago that I have to start looking at mental health in the same light as physical health.

Paige is so cute! We had an ultrasound on Friday afternoon while Sam was with his Grandma and Grandpa in Steveston and the other 4 were cared for by the brave and courageous Denise (A HUGE THANK YOU TO HER FOR HELPING US OUT!!!) We had to have another one done because the last technician couldn't find the stomache or the heart. The lady we saw yesterday is the same lady who saw the twins (and

BUT I have a 5 year old who occasionally wets the bed and a chronic bed wetter who I am assured will one day grow out of it (and a new drug card that I can use to get a drug that will help him with it - 100 bucks a month was too much to put out to wait for it to come back) and the joke is no longer funny unless I

I really like the Natural Latch Playtex nursers because the nipple is identical to the boob. They are also easier as far as Kevin is concerned because all we have to wash and sterilize is the nipple and ring. I just got 2 packs of 100 liners (YAY!) for the 4oz bottles from a local momma. I am going go see if I can find the 4oz individual bottles because if I remember well, using a 4oz liner in an

When Austin was little I had the best monitor I have ever had. Nothing else that I have had including the Angle Care one or the Safety 1st one that I had when Sam was little even remotely good compared to the R2D2 looking one I had, I really miss it. I wish I could remember if it was First Years or Safety First, I am looking on google images for the picture of it but this is the closest that I

Last time I was pregnant, at 30 weeks we were in the hospital trying to stop labour from progressing. Jackson was pretty determined to come out at that time, but thanks to the prayer of all those around (including a few nurses) and the drugs, IV and medical bedrest care that I recieved, he had to wait to come out. I remember that for weeks before and the weeks leading up to their delivery I was

I liked this movie Hancock, it was a really good show. I know that it's probably not gotten great reviews but I and Kevin enjoyed it. I am adding to my list of things Paige needs for several reasons including keeping a running checklist that I can refer to and not so much for the act of receiving. I actually feel weird asking for stuff, as I have said and don't expect that all of the stuff I

It's hard for me to word this in any other way than to say that I have another 5 year old. 5 is such a big number for a kid to be. In my heart I say goodbye for sure to my baby Sam, hello to the big kid he is and I will wave to him when I send him to kindergarten as he takes his first steps into his journey of real life. Being the 3rd one that I get to see grow like this, I think I have a better

This is a topic that is as political as much as it is relevant to me and my family personally. Currently in British Columbia, we do not have all day Kindergarten nor does the province provide preschool without having to jump through hoops.

I loved the look of the last layout I had, but I seriously didn't like the form of it. It was too narrow and quite frankly way too bright. My SP buddies mocked the pink and I realized also that it was somewhat blinding.

I, even before getting to the day, feel oh so blessed because the honor of having the new person coming into the world is who is mine and Kevin's and I get to enjoy it with all of you.I have been asked to blog a list of things we "need" and Denise and I chatted on the phone to sort of figure it out because the

We all have "issues". These issues come from childhood, hurts or just plain personality but our issues are what bring us together, tear us apart and when we work through them, make us into the people who we are.Most of the time an issue that we see in someone else, is usually an issue that we have or that we have overcome. I, for instance, I see new moms struggle with leaving their new babies at

I have been wanting to change this for a long time and now, it's done! Thank goodness for all the people on the internet who are savvy and don't like the plain old boring blog templates that everyone seems to have. It has taken me 2 months to find the one I wanted and install it, the only draw back is that you have to get rid of all the little gadgets and reinstall them...but I think it looks

LINK TO PICS OF THIS WEEKENDThis "weekend" has been awesome! Kevin took Monday off to give him a looooong weekend so tomorrow is my Monday and my Friday will be only two days away...this IS how the summer drips away...Paige will totally be here sooner than I keep thinking! (NO, SHE WILL NOT COME EARLY, remember the 11th of October or the 12th if Andre is happy to share) :)On Friday, I took the

Let's start with 10 as a number to represent my full cup...It's just passed 6 and Kev wakes me to tell me that he's late and needs a lift to the train. My attitude already sucks because I discovered the last time that I am incapable of getting back to sleep and the frustration over it just makes the crankiness of the day taking away a point from my cup. Granted I can add it back with my own

So I have this running list of stuff that I want/need for Paige but also the stuff like we have to move the room around to accommodate a new bed.

I generally pan these things on Saturdays, but Denise has brought up a great point, so how about the 18th of July? I know that Fridays are likely not as favorable as Saturdays for the Martins and Bells, but how about it guys?Is it doable?I think it's coming together :)

I am sooo tired these days and my facebook tagline refects the fact that I am just drained from building a human. I cannot say enough how I am happy that I will be making Kev get snipped because I honestly don't think I could EVER do this again. Not the fact that we would love to have more kids or not, just that physically, my body cannot handle it. In just shy of 20 days from now we will be 99

I have to sit in the playroom these days to keep the boys out of trouble and now that lappy is up and running and I have a few java games or now a text based game to play, it gives me the opportunity to laugh out loud and the parent aimed jokes in Sesame Street. The first one I rememeber talking about was a muppet singing "Letter B" to the tune of "Let Her Be" and of course one of my favs,

Some of my fondest memories revolve around singing and Tanya and Tara, Tricia who I don't think sees this blog but knows this fact all the same, and of course my high school days in choir and jazz choir have all been etched into my memories as moments of a c t u a l harmony as I find a middle note for a chord and sing it into the presence with others' voices around me, filling my ears

Here I am, just guess by looking at the time what I am doing....yes, sitting on Jakes bed, waiting for my "babies" to fall asleep. I think that in just a few months, I will not be able to use lappy to do this, but more so that I will have Paige attached to me singing to the three of them for naptime.I have always enjoyed singing and once I got over my self centered egotistical teenager/young

Today has been a good day. I upgraded my ship, went up a level, joined a fleet, cleaned the counters, made dips for Peanuts Big Reveal, made coffee, got the kids dressed, sent them out to play (big breath), made lunch for them all, and now I am back to playing Star Pirates. I do like this game because it's soooo geeky but also a nice pace. I even got to chat with a few friends, be the time breif

Personal note to Chris:I am so sorry that I didn't see your blog being that it's so funny! I missed May the 4th and your comment about Kingdom although, now because we know I am carrying around my little princess, I added that we have a Paige added to the kingdom. And maybe someone out there could have a warrior?What else can I say, OH! Stupid me, I had subscribed to the comments for your first

I don't really have anything to say because I feel a little down in a few areas of my world. I have soooo much to be thankful for which, as I have blogged before, erases any shadow of rejection or fear that I may observe in myself.I find that rejection is so selfish for me to take upon because I am sure that I have many people who love me and for me to want to hear that I am loved seems petty.

Not really much to say as I sorta said it all last night, but I am relieved that it's over as far as the waiting and hoping and nervousness. We didn't get any pictures this time round, bummer, but I think that Paige was moving around too much to have gotten any good pictures anyway. The technician wasn't very chatty, as we have had in the past, I wanted to joke with her and ask her if she could

So, from here I sit at Lappy,but she and I are unhappy.Ubuntu is great,but out of the crate,the wireless is not working....crappy.I really love the new concept (to me)Of Open Source stuff, cause it's free,But a new language to learn,to decipher and discernis taking away all my glee.Settings are "packages" to Linux,I wish that there were some clinicsTo teach me how to because uh,this is hard so,

I was going to complain about not wanting to change poop anymore...then I realized that I have signed up for another few years of it with the baby in my belly. Then I though about how many years I have done diapers...Sam was not trained when the twins were born so as old as he is I have been doing diapers ... he's coming up on his fifth birthday.This is by no means a complaint but I was wondering

Don't answer that, because well, it's rhetorical.For years I have been familiar with open source because I use TheGimp which is an amazing Image and Photo editing program and now I have moved onto Pidgin for a replacement to WindowsLive Messenger. Once I get another PC up and running I plan to try out an Open Source O/S. Not Linux but there are some options out there that I am looking into.On
