My Poor Babies!

Well, things are a little rough around here. Both Jaycee and Jackson are sick. They have been running fever, congested, and coughing. So they are definitely not themselves. I am the only one that seems to do the job for either one of them, which makes it quite interesting at times.

Then the obvious is they are not in their normal environment. Yesterday, Byron, Jackson and I did a few errands. Jaycee had a really hard time being here with my mom. She didn't feel good and then she kept saying that she missed momma, dada, and bubby. When we got home she told me that and then told me she was ready to go home! That was a heartbreaking moment for me and I began to cry. She just can't comprehend that this is temporary. So we definitely need the house in Nooksack to sell so we can get another home. The kids so desperately need that. They both need all of their stuff and their own rooms!

They are both doing better this morning. I think just having a morning where we aren't all going every direction trying to do stuff, and that there aren't a lot of people around they are a little more relaxed.

Anyways, I know just a few days ago I posted about a house in the Sulphur area. We have talked about it and we have asked for my parents opinion. My parents are the type that they feel that its our decision and they really don't straight out tell you their opinion. They beat around the bush a little bit. Anyways, after we sat down and had a chat, they feel like if we are really wanting to be involved with the business its better if we live closer to the Loco area. Which after weighing everything out, we decided that it does make more sense. We would love to be in the Sulphur area, but we will see Byron more if we live close to Loco. He will be able to come home for lunch everyday. I will start very soon helping with the books for the business and I will be close. So today we are going to look at a house in Velma. Velma is where I went to school. Its not right in the town of Velma which is nice. It has an inground pool. Its 2 story and is around 2300 sq ft. So we will see. Its an older home but it looks nice from the outside. Obviously, there isn't a lot of options in Velma so we really hope that this one will work.

So just be praying for the children's health, the sale of the Nooksack house, and for the buying of a new home! Thanks so much!

We will definitely pray for the house that the Lord already has picked out for you. I can understand some of the frustration you're going through. Randy and I lived with my folks for 7 months when we moved back home from Montana (obviously, my folks are saints!!!) - Kari was 3 and Brian was 6 months old. We have many wonderful memories of our time together. I know the Lord will provide just like he did for us..way back then!
The Christmas pictures are priceless!!! (I, too, love that picture of you and Jaycee)
Love,
