Have you heard the crickets chirping over here in ErmoldLife? It has been a long time since I was on here. In fact I think it was last January... A few years ago I did a 365 and didn't miss a day then I decided to take a break. It ended up being a longer break than I intended. While I don't plan on blogging every day like I did then, I do plan on being a bit more consistent. I love the idea of having a daily/weekly/monthly log of our lives. It is nothing special to most blog readers but it is for me.<br />

This past week my family had a reunion in sunny Florida in honor of my maternal grandmother's 90th birthday. While many of my extended family were unable to make it, it was a blessing to be part of this momentous celebration with those who could be there. I know my Aunt put a lot of work in to it to make it a wonderful time for my grandmother and for that I am thankful.</div>

I told Daniel to look back at the beautiful sky. He gasped and commented on how beautiful it was. Then I heard him say quietly "Thank you God for all the beautiful things." Looking in the mirror at him, I saw him smile and blow a kiss toward heaven. "Thank you" he whispered.<br>
<div>
<br>
<br></div>
<div>
Heart. Melt.<br>
<br>
It's in these time that I praise God because I can see the Lord working in my little boys heart. If not for Him my efforts to teach my children to have a truly thankful heart would be in vain.<br>

He is getting so big! He's not in my class but I am teaching K4 this year so we'll get to see a lot of each other.<br />
<br />
It was a good but long day for both of us.<br />
<br />
Each time someone asked Daniel how his day was he nonchalantly said "It was pretty good."<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This picture was taken about 3 months ago (Now they have a bunk bed). I was walking by the room with Bekah in one hand and my camera in the other and happened to catch the boys nearing the end of their bed time routine. Down on their knees praying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every night Davey puts them to bed. They always start with singing together- typically something like My God is So Big or Running Over. He will also sing hymns to them after they are in bed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-love-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then they pray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If they so desire, each of the boys has the opportunity to pray which is one of the sweetest things a mama could hear. Davey is trying to teach them how to pray like they're talking to a friend balanced with a respect for who they are talking to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This may be one of the most important parts of their day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not only are the boys having quality time with their daddy but a time of worship as they sing and pray. They may not completely understand what they are singing or that when they pray they are actually talking to a living, caring, holy, God, but they are learning.</div>

I want it long so I grow it out and am discontent with it during the growing out process then after 2 years of waiting for it to finally get to the length I like I decided I'm ready to chop it all off. There is something really freeing about a drastic cut. It's like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. literally. And there is a whole lot less hair pulling from the little one!<br />
<br />
Here are the before and after photos. I love the new cut and am donating the rest to <a href="http://wigsforkids.org/" target="_blank">Wigs for Kids </a>!<br />

Micah is going to be our musician. His lips are always filled with a song and, to him, everything is a guitar. The xylophone, he plays with "a money" because he sees my mom play her auto harp with a quarter when he sings in the kids choir at church. It's pretty stinkin' cute.</div>

I like to take the boys to the beach in the mornings during the week. If we go too late in the day, it's hot and a little crowded. Most days I "forget" my beach pass and we just walk the board walk.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ErBn7wlKQqk/VZLEbxI13ZI/AAAAAAAAEvY/VOWiZmT3wAI/s1600/DSC07322.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ErBn7wlKQqk/VZLEbxI13ZI/AAAAAAAAEvY/VOWiZmT3wAI/s640/DSC07322.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

This morning we went on the beach and had some fun playing on the pirate ship. I prohibit them from the water. It's just too much with both of them and an infant by myself. So, we stick with playing in the sand which they are content with. Daniel thinks there are sharks and Octonauts in the water anyway. Though I have told him otherwise. (If you don't know what <a href="http://disneyjunior.com/the-octonauts" target="_blank">Octonauts</a> are, you probably don't have a preschooler.) </div>

It was Bekah's first trip and she did well on the drive to and from however, it was pretty obvious that she was not comfortable being away from home. She was uncharacteristically fussy and had trouble falling asleep at night. We arrived Friday night and it was probably not until Sunday morning that she was sort of okay with not having me in her sight every second.<br />
<br />
While we were there she got to meet her Great Pop-pop and Mom-mom Ermold. She and Mom-mom share a middle name so it was extra special for her to meet her namesake.<br />

Mom-mom Bortz also came by on Saturday for a visit. The boys of course loved every minute of their time at Grandma's.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WNVddUeG8aA/VWfHgJELiHI/AAAAAAAAEoM/1pETr6hoNQg/s1600/DSC07098.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WNVddUeG8aA/VWfHgJELiHI/AAAAAAAAEoM/1pETr6hoNQg/s640/DSC07098.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This has been a difficult year for him. And by that, I mean, this has been a very difficult year for me. Daniel started his preschool experience with excitement. After about two days things began to go down hill. The transition just wasn't going well. He was an impulsive, active, rough 3 year old who didn't want to sit for circle time. Each time there was a teacher other than his own (and even then) things went wrong. The first half of the year he got in trouble a. lot. Which means I cried. a. lot. (Don't forget I was an emotional pregnant mamma most of the year.) We were doing everything we could think to do to train him at home and prepare him for the way things worked at school. It just didn't seem to be enough. By November, he had several office visits and a suspension. Boy did the tears run then! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BW6cm_9F7Iw/VWfHgENIngI/AAAAAAAAEoQ/kCm6H-1a580/s1600/DSC07099.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BW6cm_9F7Iw/VWfHgENIngI/AAAAAAAAEoQ/kCm6H-1a580/s320/DSC07099.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
We decided to make a sticker chart and that worked really well. From mid November until April he had a really good stretch. He was (and continues) showing so much improvement. I had all sorts of people from school and church telling me how they have seen such growth and maturity in him over this year. Wow did I need to hear every one of those encouraging remarks.<br />
<br />
Still, I wasn't sure how we were going to get through the end of the year. He is still an impulsive, active little boy. My mother-in-law says he reminds her of Curious George. I agree but there are some things a little monkey can get away with that a little boy can not. Thanks to his teachers and others around supporting his growth, he (we) made it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rRPBPaHbIIw/VWfHgOM7rtI/AAAAAAAAEoU/FAKR9T-C9bQ/s1600/DSC07100.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rRPBPaHbIIw/VWfHgOM7rtI/AAAAAAAAEoU/FAKR9T-C9bQ/s320/DSC07100.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
One thing I am learning (I wish I could say I have learned but I know I'm not there yet.) is that I can not allow his behavior, good or bad, to determine how my day is but to put my trust in the Lord that He is working in my little boys heart. There were days this year that it was difficult to teach because I was so overwhelmed with his negative choices or the consequences. I think the struggle has been used to draw me to my knees more often than I probably would have had it been easy.<br />
<br />
I am thankful to the God I serve for forcing me to put my trust in him. I know that one day these things that are causing so much trouble now will be the very things that make Daniel a strong adult. And I pray he will use those strengths to serve the Lord.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959654996274190652.post-66559232696933562412015-05-27T21:18:00.001-04:002015-05-28T05:36:50.068-04:00Memorial Day<div>

Bekah can roll over! She's been working on it from back to belly but keeps getting stuck on her arm. I put her on her belly and she rolled right to her back. Now if she could just get past her arm she will officially be on the move.No more leaving her on the bed or changing table. I'm not sure how I feel about this. It is always exciting to see my babies reach milestones but it is equally difficult to see them grow so quickly.</div>

<br />
Jenn had asked me a week ago if she could take me out to lunch for my birthday. Of course! I am always up for a day out. When she got to my house she walked in with Ang and Chelsea, flowers and balloons!<br />

What a fun surprise!<br />
<br />
We headed up to Annapolis where Annie was waiting for us at the Cheesecake factory. YUM!<br />

All the while, the girls are telling me that Chelsea has to leave by a certain time so her husband could go in to work. We rush home, say our good byes and Jenn "needs to use the bathroom" so she and Ang come up to the house with me...<br />
<br />
I walked in to find my house full of people that I did not expect to be there. Then I turned behind me to see Chelsea standing in the door too.<br />

<br />
Lies. All lies. Isn't there something in the bible about that?<br />
<br />
Apparently this is what they were doing before I walked in.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I can not believe Davey was able to keep this a secret from me. But I am so thankful he did. It was such a blessing. And so much fun to be surprised multiple times in one day!</span><br />

Thank you to everyone who helped make turning 30 a fun occasion!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959654996274190652.post-23102028694429990302015-04-19T21:15:00.001-04:002015-04-19T21:18:16.546-04:00A Boy Free WeekendThis weekend Davey went on a retreat with the men at our church. Since it was the end of my first week back to work with a new little one I knew I'd be exhausted. So, we sent the boys up to Davey's parents while he was gone.<br />
<br />
It was so nice.<br />
<br />
And quiet.<br />
<br />
My plan for the weekend? Enjoy the peace and get some scrapbooking done. Aside for a few finishing touches, I finally finished Micah's birth to 1 year scrapbook. Yay!<br />

My guys got home around 5 and after dinner we sang happy birthday and had cupcakes in celebration of Micah's 2nd birthday. Happy Birthday to my happy little boy!<br />

In their hands were flowers and a milk shake just because I came back to work this week. That seriously made my day! Allie and Josiah both came in and made themselves at home in my classroom. I wish they could have stayed longer. My students loved seeing them. I should have taken a picture with them but here are the flowers Allie picked out for me. So sweet!<br />

It has been a sweet time being home with my babies these last few weeks, a time I certainly do not take for granted. It was a good but long day back. My students were really good for me which was a definite plus! It's always difficult going back after a break, and I know I have said this numerous times before, but I am thankful to work at a place where I can bring my kids and see them during the day. I am truly blessed.<br />

Davey was originally going to just go in with the boys but Bekah and I decided to join them. We don't do many day trips like that as a family so I'm glad we went!<br />

<br />
We took the metro in to the city which Daniel loved! He got to ride a "choo choo train!" When we got out and started the trek from the metro stop to the zoo, Daniel looked around and exclaimed with excitement "Look! A trash can!" Clearly he doesn't get out much...I'm pretty sure he was more excited about the trash cans we passed than he was with half of the animals at the zoo.<br />

Daniel was more excited about little birds than he was about animals like the cheetah and elephant. Though he was very excited to see the gorilla's or "galilla's" as he calls them.<br />

Bekah was very good the entire time. It probably had something to do with the fact that I was carrying her in the ergo the entire time. What can I say? She love being with her mamma!<br />

Mikie kept sliding out of his stroller seat and running away. We have to keep a keen eye on that one! eventually we just buckled him in when we didn't want him going anywhere. It was a fun and exhausting day.<br />

The castle can not be built with blocks or legos like one might think. It must always be built with the couch cushions. It started with just the cushions from one couch and has evolved in to an even bigger "castle" with all of the cushions and pillows he can get his hands on.<br />

Usually we play a memory game (he has about 4 different versions) but I decided to pull out Hi Ho Cherry-O which we had not played before. I taught him how to play and we played 6 or 7 rounds. With out trying, I lost every round except the last one. Ha! Of course, this is now his favorite game.<br />

It is a celebration of the day my Savior, Jesus, crushed Satan and defeated death. In Him we have new life. I am thankful for the love my God has shown me by making it possible for me to have a relationship with Him. It is my prayer that my children would grow to have a relationship with with the Lord that is even stronger than mine.<br />
<br />
Our Easter started at Church, celebrating with our church family. When we got home I gave the boys their Easter Baskets and after naps we headed over to James and Amy's to celebrate with my family.<br />

I wanted to do an Easter craft with the boys so I found <a href="http://www.momto2poshlildivas.com/2013/02/wet-chalk-tape-resist-easter-egg.html" target="_blank">this</a> idea on pinterest. The boys were having so much fin we made Easter cards for all of the Pearson cousins and and my parents. Half of the cards were made with paint and half using wet chalk. I cut card stock in the shape of eggs then put painter's tape on them to make designs on them. After they dried I pealed the tape off to reveal the Easter egg design.</div>

Daniel was too distracted by seeing them in the audience to actually sing. He had to stay with his class until the program was over which he wasn't too happy about and shed some tears for his teacher. But afterward he was the happy as could be!<br />

There was a great turn out and I think all of the kids had a good time. There were options to dye eggs, play on the play ground and color Easter picture. Daniel took one of the pictures, turned it to the back side and made a picture for Pastor Dario who came out to check out the fun.<br />
<br />
Nearly every time I turned around I had to search for Micah which was mostly okay. The back yard of the church has a gate which keeps the kids pretty well contained but we also had the door to inside propped opened. Twice I went searching for him and found him inside the church. The first time Dario found him before I could and the second time I caught him by the elevator pushing the button ready to go up. Ha! I can't keep track of that kid. He is definitely the independent/mischievous one!<br />
<br />
Daniel is the social one who just wants to be around people. I never had trouble finding him. He was with the people...and the food!<br />

I didn't want to make the transition after going back to work in case it was a rough one. She has been sleeping SO well in the rock and play, only waking to eat once or twice at most each night. I didn't want to mess that up by moving her out of the cuddly rock and play to the flat crib. We made the move on Thursday and she did wonderfully! YAY! Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I'd want to sleep in that room too. I was afraid to blog too soon in case it was a fluke but she really is just a good sleeper. Praise the Lord! The boys definitely were not. I am so thankful to have a little one that is a good sleeper and doesn't want to eat 24/7.<br />
