Yes yes, for those of you who know what I'm talking about, I am now starting to REALLY feel the pain of the 30 day shred DVD that I am doing to lose some weight and get back into shape(and I am ONLY on Day 2!!!)! I realized this morning that I haven't done actual muscle building exercises for.....well, let's just say a REALLY looong time, hahaha. Sad but true. Anyways, I am glad to be getting back into it and hope it will show some results over the next month or so.
Anyways I have to admit that I almost gave up on my blog...I have been frustrated with myself for not being able to keep it up, but I just find the days flying by soo fast lately. But then I think to myself, well, you have time to go on facebook, so how come you don't have time update your blog? Grrrr, I know, I know, it's true. I think writing on the blog just demands a lot more thought and quiet for me to do it well...unlike some people (hmm hmm, Jorge;) I cannot write or read if there is any type of distraction or noise in the room, being music, tv or anything of the like. So that limits my blog time by...A LOT, lol, but owell, I am going to keep trying, so we shall see how it goes.
This past month has been really busy for us, I'm not going to go into great detail because I feel like there is just too much stuff to write..that and Levi is taking a nap and I will most likely have to stop writing when he wakes up, (which could be any moment, knowing him). I think what was the hardest for us in this month was we received a team of missionaries in the church in the first two weeks of November. It was a good time having them here, but it just demanded our every moment as we had four girls staying in our house and Jorge had to be with the team everyday, taking them to schools for evangelism etc. But God used them in a great way here and we are seeing some fruit of there time here, some youth and kids that have started attending the church, and that is exciting for us.
Tonight I have the ladies group in the church and I am excited about that. We have been doing a Study over the past few weeks called "A Woman of influence", where we are studying and talking about the 31st Proverb where it talks about the virtuous wife. The study has gone pretty good, I am trying to do new things and change up the class quite a bit. We meet now in the back dining area and put the benches in a big circle, so as to feel closer and more relaxed, and that has made a big difference on the ladies attitudes towards the classes. We usually have between 12 to 16 ladies so that is really encouraging for me, that more ladies are coming to the class. I still get nervous when leading it but I find myself every week feeling more and more comfortable, so that's a good thing..I have really established friendship with these ladies now so I truly enjoy the time that we have together, singing and praying and learning together. Jorge went to Concepcion today but should be back within the next hour or so so he will watch Josiah for me during the class and I will just take Levi..and PRAY that he sleeps while I need to talk, LOL.
Our little boys are growing so big, *sniff*. I can't get over how quickly Baby Guy seems to be growing. He is such a sweetheart and we are getting to know his little personality more and more everyday. He is definitely an observer...he watches everything so carefully and you can tell that his mind is just reeling, trying to figure everything out. He will sit for minutes on end and watch his hands or his ankles move, and he just watches and says "oooohhhhhhh!" Like he is analyzing every movement and taking note of how it all works. My little Levi. He sits up on his own now and will be crawling very soon I think. Now if we sit him on the floor he will move all over the place just by scooting his little bum back and forth by trying to reach for things, so he is already getting the idea of moving around. I have him eating lot's of vegetables now and I must say I am quite proud of myself for taking the time to make his foods in variety, freeze them and always have them handy. I didn't do that very much with Josiah, I often gave him the canned stuff and a lot of fruits more than anything...so I am trying to do the complete opposite with Levi. I have been giving him all kinds of veggies, like squash, peas, green beans, carrots, avocado and today I gave him chard (I never knew what it was called in English but then finally found out today), which is called "acelga" and the people here eat it a lot! It is actually pretty yummy and I have learned to make it in different ways.
Josiah is also growing super fast and turning into such a little man. He has had his terrible temper tantrums quite frequently lately, but I will not write anymore about that so as to not focus on the negative...I prefer to talk about the adorable, sweetness of my son as I realize that he is growing so fast and I want to enjoy every moment I have with my little blessing, whether it be good or bad. He is starting to talk a lot more in sentences now and is picking up more Spanish words, which is exciting for Jorge's family (they keep stressing out over the fact that he is talking so much English, LOL). But he is growing fast and has also started branching out and trying new foods, which is very exciting for Jorge and I! Since the beginning of November Siah started eating beef and now chicken, so it does my mother heart good to see my little boy getting chubbier and growing healthy :)
Well look at that, a whole post and Levi didn't wake up, how good is that?? Well hopefully I will be able to continue updating as much as I can on here..I have a lot of things I would love to write, so I will try to get around to them over the next couple of days.
Bye for now :)
