Just Checking In...

Hi all! I have not forgotten about our site here or our beloved friends and family that keep up with us! I know I say that we are in a busy season often but we really were! Things have really slowed down now and so we have a little breathing room to, well breathe (and update our blog)!
Here are a few of the latest Cramblit Happenings:

- We have decided to homeschool Trever this year! God really put it on our heart that public school was not going in the direction that we wanted our family to go, we also feel like it is more of a family's responsibility to train and educate our kids and so we have sought out other options and this year we are homeschooling! I am not saying that my kids will not ever go to public school (bc we have been blessed that New Market is a good school) but we are just going to try to go the homeschool/Christian Academy route if possible. Trever is doing GREAT!! We love our curriculum (Horizons by Alpha Omega Publishing) and he is already reading pretty well and beginning to write his own sentences! This is the main reason that we have been "busy". It's actually more busy at home adjusting to a new school schedule, entertaining Casen so that Trever can get his school work done and making sure we have field trips and an equivalent to PE that has kept us busy rather than going going going!
- Trever played Fall T-ball in Lincoln Co this year and his team won the Championship!! We were so excited for them (and suprised ;)He is a good little ball player and Michael is an excellent coach (and pitcher ;) I am so proud of Michael! He makes sure that he coaches or assis. coaches all of Trever's stuff and I just think that is AWESOME!!

That is a lot about Trever so here is some happenings with Casen :

- He is stubborn. His new thing is to say "Funny" after each whipping.
- Yesterday he took his diaper off bc "there were balls in it and I wanted to throw them"...and he did. I spent 30 minutes going through our shag carpet to find all of his "poop balls".
- He is obsessed with knives. We have gone throug 2 locks on the knife drawer and were going to put them on top of the refrigerator until he climbed to the top of the refrigerator yesterday and ate some medicine. Poison Control will be getting a Christmas card from us this year! The ceiling is not safe with this kid!
- He has learned how to climb onto the bars of Trever's bicycle and perch so that he can ride with Trever. (no training wheels) I caught them last week trying to see how fast they could go before Casen fell off. Tough little booger, he never fell!
- Casen loves Play-doh. This has become his "school work" for when I am schooling Trever and I need him to sit a.k.a. stay out of medicine cabinet and knife drawer.
- Casen definitely keeps me on my toes, tippie toes but we love him dearly and couldn't imagine life without him! We have truly been blessed with 2 precious boys!

- Michael and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary this month! We had a small ceremony where we renewed our vows! It was great! We just had a handful of friends and family and our boys got to see us "get married" again!

- Oct 15th is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day! I don't think that our "family blog" would be complete without remembering our 3 Cramblit angel babies that we have in Heaven! We will see them one day! Until then, we just put our desire to have more children in God's hands.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

“As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.” Ecclesiastes 11:5

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart. Do not be afraid… for I am with you… declares the Lord.“ Jeremiah 1:5,8

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.“ Proverbs 3:5,6
