I’ve put together a short video with some pictures of our trip to Michigan, our first year, and the direction we are headed. Enjoy!
Back in Jackson
As I anticipated in the last blog entry, the activities in Seattle did indeed slow just a bit. It was a tough 6.5 weeks for Noe (and for us, but more for him) to be apart from us. Harder for him because he was out here in Michigan working and coming home to a very […]
Two Places at Once!
No, not a miracle… but our family is currently in two places at once. Noe is in Jackson (MI) working – we are very thankful for two employment positions! He is working a part-time retail job, but also enjoying ministering to a precious group of youth in a nearby Church. The girls and I flew […]
Yes Indeed, He IS Risen!
Jesus said that if His disciples did not praise Him, then the very stones would cry out. One of my thoughts in response to that is, “How embarrassing would that be!?!?” Shameful, and embarrassing. But what a word stating that God’s creation cannot help but sing His praise! After all, what do you think of […]
Oh Poo…
Sorry for the title… Today I had the surprisingly (??) unpleasant experience of emptying poop out of a toddler potty. On second thought, I do believe that calls for an exclamation mark, or several. (!!!!!!) Yes, Naya officially “took a dump” in her little toilet this afternoon! 🙂 We were hoping that she’d pee, but […]
Oh, the Places We’ve Gone
actually, we haven’t really gone that many places. But being that i haven’t written an entry since Thanksgiving, it’s time for a little catch-up. Just a couple weeks after Thanksgiving, our freshman semester ended, and we flew out to Seattle for 3.5 weeks to visit our families and some friends over the Christmas break. Naya […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
Our celebration today was far from our normal traditions… and it was quite fun! We stayed here at the school and joined about 40 others for a potluck-style meal. The students who coordinated the dinner made the turkey, and the rest of us brought various side-dishes and desserts(I feel like we should play Outburst now…). […]
Jocellyn Naomi Martinez
born on 11/02/09… 4 days past her “due date.” we are very happy to have a november baby though, i daresay! 🙂 we just like the sound of november, i guess. she was much bigger than we would’ve thought- 9 lbs. 2 oz! 20.5″ long. her head was 14″ in circumference. so here’s a summarized […]
Neither Are Pumpkins Apples…
2weekends ago, I had the fun of taking Naya to an apple farm with some friends from here at NTBI- 2 of her favorite little friends, to be specific: Jordan and Charley. Noe was able to spend the day at ‘our’ church helping install cabinets. Naya LOVED the apple farm, as you can see from […]
Apples are Not Pumpkins
Laundry night! Yes, I love laundry night. So let’s try and figure out the main reason: a) clean clothes! (duh!) b) being out of the apartment for 2 hours! c) the smell of laundry soap I’ll let you think about that… whoever wins can do my laundry next week. 😉 Last weekend was to be […]
