My How We've Grown!

Much To Be Thankful For.
Well, I've waited SO long to post that my thanksgiving background is still in season...or in season again?....what what?!? Yes, I am all about saving time & effort...I guess that's a way to save time! :)
Much has happened in the past year ~ many joys, struggles, and much learning.
Brief Recap ~ We moved to Texas in July. :) So grateful to be closer to family! WE LOVE IT! Josh is now 13 months old ~ and we are settling in for some big life changes in the next few months! God has been good and gracious to us over the past year!
We are overwhelmed with thankfulness to the Lord for His abundant grace to provide Jon a job with American Eagle! He started his pre-training for the CRJ yesterday & begins official training with Eagle in 3 weeks! It is a huge load off our shoulders ~ as the "light at the end of the tunnel" is more visable. We are encouraged to know Jon's career is moving in the right direction and we soon (in the coming years) we will be financially stable.
I have also started two new jobs ~ nannying. I am working for 2 believing families & both have been GREAT situations so far. One of the families has three kiddos, which with Josh makes me caring for 4 children under 5 years of age...what great practice this is for me as our family grows! I am grateful beyond words for children with hearts to listen and obey ~ and parents who love the Lord & desire that for their children. The only downside is we sure are getting sick ALOT. The kiddos are sharing germs & our family is running through the fall bugs like water. So far (in the last two weeks), we have had stomach flu, strep, ear infections, pneumonia, cold/flu bug, and more ear infections. I am so grateful for medicines to help our baby get better. I had this thought this week ~ "I can't imagine living 100-200 years ago without medicines to help your children recover"...that thought honestly devastates me. I was so humbled as I realized and remembered ~ the mommies in 3rd world countries still live with that thought. They love their children just as much as I love mine & want the best for their babies as I do for mine...yet their circumstances (which mostly are out their control) are much different. How blessed we are to live in America where medicines are freely available and medical care is abundant. It makes throwing up, coughing, humidifiers, anti nausea meds, gunky noses, and antibiotics look like a cake walk....We have much to be thankful for.

It's Official: I'm a Blog Slacker.
Well, friends & loved ones...its been way to long since I've posted. WAY too Long. Mommying has consumed my time & I LOVE it. I am also now working ALOT. Its keeping me super busy & soooo I've become a blogging slacker.
Here is a quick update:
Josh is now 3 & 1/2 months old ~ its gone by sooo fast! He is batting, grabbing and pulling forward to sit up! Craziness! He is definitely a Momma's boy ~ as he spends the majority of his time with me (while his daddy works 6 days a week). He thinks Patty-Cake is funny & has started laughing regularly! We love him more than we can express ~ he is a gift from the Lord ~ we are so blessed.
I'll post some pictures soon! :)

Shaklee Invitation :)
Jon and I wanted to share with you our new endeavor, as we have recently become independent distributors for the Shaklee Corporation. We are very excited about starting to sell Shaklee's wide range of products: nutrition, weight management, health & beauty, and home cleaning!
Jon and I believe wholeheartedly in the nutrition supplements that Shaklee offers and want to share them with you! We also love the GET CLEAN line of cleaning products for the home. We believe Shaklee is a solid, green, clean, smart company ~ that strives to help make your life healthier.
Our Shaklee beginnings started long ago - when Jon was just a wee one! His parents have had him taking Shaklee vitamins for as long as he can remember! When we got engaged ~ I was very, very sick from student teaching. Those little buggers gave me everything under the sun that semester ~ I had urinary tract infections, bronchitis, common colds, inner and outer ear infections...pretty much you name it ~ I had it. UNTIL ~ Jon's Gramma sent me some of the Vitalizer + IRON strips (like a beefed up multivitamin...just for women) and the last three weeks of school - I didn't get sick! I taught fourth grade all last year - in a new district with new germs & I was minimally sick throughout the whole year! Shaklee sells vitamins for young ones ~ babies through all grown up! I am currently taking Shaklee as my pre-natals ~ and they are said to blow regular pre-natals out of the water in their vitamin content!
Since we have been married, we have started using Shaklee's Get Clean Products: They sell everything you need to have a clean and healthy home from laundry detergent to all-purpose cleaning solution. The laundry detergent helps with my allergies and reduces my excema break-outs. I LOVE how well the products work & how much they help us save on our cleaning product bill ~ you could save over $3400 dollars!! Watch this video from Rachel Ray or this video from Oprah and check out more info from recent blog posts I have written: here and here!
This video helps you understand what Shaklee is, what they stand for as a company, how they work, how they test their products & the results the products have produced:
Jon and I believe Shaklee is very effective and really does help you become healthier. We do not want to pressure anyone into using Shaklee, but want to make it available to you to consider trying. If you try it & don't like it, you get your money back! Please contact us if you are interested!

Thank you for taking the time to read this and consider Shaklee products.

We have felt it has been a great fit for us and are hoping starting this home-based business will be a provision for our growing family!

Joshua Reuben Arrives!
Josh was born on September 28th at 1:08. He was 7 pounds, 3 oz and 20 inches long. We are loving being parents & can't believe he is already two weeks old!
Here is our last "preggo" Joshie picture ~
We arrived at the hospital at 5:30am to be induced. I started off 3 cm dilated & 80% effaced. After three tries at an IV ~ one was successfully put in & by 7am my pitocin drip had started. At 10:30, I was 5 cm dilated & in much need of my epidural :) The epidural helped (eliminated...really) the contraction pains & at noon, I felt like it was wearing off. I called for the nurse because I was feeling more pressure than I had before & did NOT want to feel the contractions again. My nurse was in a delivery, so another nurse came & decided to check me. My epidural was not wearing off...I was complete! The pressure I was feeling was his head...she could feel it when she checked me. By 12:30, the room was ready for delivery & I had already begun pushing. I pushed for about 40 minutes ~ and he arrived! We were both healthy & we are so grateful to the Lord for a quick & smooth delivery.
Most of our family was able to come up for the delivery or just after to see us in the hospital. It was a sweet time & we are grateful for the gracious help they have been to us in the days since. Joshie's Aunt Casey & Cousin Nattie even came up to surprise us! It was so fun to have them with us!
