HAHAHA....Look at the face 

(almost 3 months old)

Walking around while waiting for Thanksgiving dinner...

(almost 15 months old)

I can't believe how much he has grown... So, on Thursday Michael and I made a walk to Wal-Mart to look at a training potty. I broke down a purchased one. I know to many of you it may seem early, but I mainly got to to help him get used to it. And so far he has peed in it 4 times!! Once on Thursday night and 3 TIMES today! Friday was a busy day making sure the house was clean before we left for the weekend, so I didn't worry about placing him on it that day...and like I said we were away from the house the whole weekend. But today I placed him on the potty to see if he would try and sure enough after sitting there for 15-20 minutes he went pee...lol he started getting up I told him to wait and go pee. Well, he got mad and stood up anyway, and sure enough he had ALREADY gone pee..lol silly boy! And tonight I placed him on the potty before his bath and it only took him 3-5 minutes to pee. After his bath, he must have peed right when I placed him on the potty, because he sat there for 2-3 minutes and peed more than the time before the bath.

The reason I decided to place him on the potty before and after bath tonight...he has been peeing in the tub during bath, and I thought maybe we could try having him go pee in his potty before he went in his bath.

I'm happy to say, "He went pee in his potty 3 TIMES!! 3 TIMES!!"
 
Here is an update on our little family:
If you haven't kept up with my facebook status I will give you an update on what I have been up to the past few months. As many of you may know I have been working on completing my permanent residence paperwork. As of last week there is nothing left for ME to do in order to complete it. It is now in the hands of the Canada Government. I pray the waiting period won't be long, because it will be nice to be able to see my family and friends just across the boarder in the US. I miss everyone so much!

My finger print results came in and all I had left to do was wait for my passport to be mailed to me, so I could send them the last of everything. I'm so glad that now all I have to do is wait for that letter saying the last amount of the money I owe to get my permanent residence card is due....PRAISE THE LORD! I am a LOT closer to getting this done this time. Continue to pray...last time I had a medical exam done Canada Immigration NEVER got my results, so I am still a little nervous about that part. Once I have heard they have gotten the results I will be able to breath easier and get Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), so when I do get sick it won't cost us an arm and a leg.

I can't say that once I get OHIP that we will begin to try for a second. I feel we would like to be a little better off financially and I see a way I could help with that once I can work in Canada. I'm excited about just being ABLE to work here.

So, I hope this update made sense...I am listening to music while posting, because I seem to have a hard time focusing today. I may come back a edit it later to double check and make sure I put everything I wanted to place in the post.

Walking around enjoying the nice weather...
 


Yes, that is drool coming out of his mouth...Not sure where it came from though. He never drools LOL!



Going to play with the BIG kids...



Look at my new toy, guys! Oh, it's a roll of toilet paper? I have never seen anything like this before...I'm not allowed in the bathroom without mommy and/or daddy.



Hanging out with my toilet paper roll...lol (he never unrolled it either!! I was surprised)



Playing with a plastic bag full of balloons.



Getting tired...look at those eyes



Which ball is bigger? the pink? or the green?....



Oh! They are the same size!

14 Months Old on September 13th...WOW!



My Handsome little man playing with the remote...lol

 

Relaxing in the famous blue chair in the livingroom...Daddy was sleeping, so that is how he got in it lol



Don't you just LOVE the teeth?!?!? He is getting his 7th tooth now (found it on the 12th if I remember correctly)...I'm hoping his 8th comes soon too. The poor little guy has a little rash on his bum.

We have been facing some hard times lately and the Lord has been guiding us through every step. Finances has been the hardest part. I made a couple calls to see what we could do about rent this month, and it looks like we will be able to get through this part. We still have a couple other needs, but now I see some light at the end of the tunnel of this trial.

Thankfully through all this we have family and friends lifting us up in prayer. Also we have found ourselves a church home and falling before the Lord each week has been how we have been making it through without giving up completely. Today, our pastor will be coming over to help us figure things out on how we can get caught up and cover every need we have.

My paperwork is coming along...got the medical exam and finger prints done. We will need to find a way to get the passport stuff taken care of as well ASAP. Again we need LOTS of prayer regarding finances coming in for that as well.

Chris has put together a resume for GameStop to bring in more money to cover bills. He wishes he didn't have to do this, but anything to get us out of this situation and planning ahead for the future of our family. I love Chris so much!

Well, I hope this update made sense...my mind is everywhere right now. So much on my mind...I just don't think it would all make sense to me even. LOL!

Thank  you all for prayer! We can feel the presence of the Lord every day. I also think the Lord is working in Chris and I's heart toward ministry again. I will keep you updated on where we feel the Lord leading us.

The Rainbow was just outside our balcony window...it was amazing how detailed it really was. WOW! The Lord wanted us to know He is watching over us. Do you see all the colors?
