This and That

For a little while now Jaclynn has been heard walking around the house, pointer finger constantly extended, repeating "this?" and "that?". Now, for the last few weeks, much to our surprise, she is always asking, "What is this?" and "What is that?". Just a couple of days ago it turned into "I want this." and "I want that." It is a funny progression but totally rings true to the development of our little ones. Now starts the difficult part of the journey of gently yet firmly (is this even possible?) guiding her path towards righteousness.

Just a test.

Pretty picture to view while I make sure things are posting correctly. Just trying to re-do things a bit.

Wise words

"What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work but on the account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow."
-Martin Luther

Such wise words for our present time, spoken so long ago.

Released

I am so thankful to report that Steven is home and resting well. He still feels horrible but at least he is able to get cozy and sleep in his bed. He had a rough time getting comfortable in the hospital. Thanks for the help and prayers that were given up for our family. We deeply appreciate everything!

Admitted

For those of you who may be wondering about the status of Steven or for that matter any of you who may not know, he was made to stay at the hospital yesterday morning after our little emergency room visit. He has been sick and yesterday woke up having trouble breathing. He looked at me with wide eyes and said we need to go now. So I loaded everyone up and our mini circus went strolling into the ER. After the paperwork had been filled out, examination and X-Rays done , losing Jaclynn down a hospital hallway, Grandma Joanne rescuing me in the ER and taking over watch of the kids, Steven was diagnosed with pneumonia and admitted into the hospital. For now he is still there hopefully sleeping and healing quickly. When I went back to sit with him yesterday evening He looked a million times better than he had just two hours before. So, I am hopeful he will be released today. Thank you for all of your prayers and kind words and help! It is so refreshing to see The Body rise up and bless us. Thanks again!

Happy Birthday Jaclynn!

One year ago today the littlest Zuniga was born. What a special gift God gives us by way of screaming, crying, squishy, adorable, soft and super snugly little babies. It amazes me still that we were chosen to love and disciple these little blessings.
Jaclynn slept in a little today so everyone was already up when she decided to start her birthday morning. We all greeted her with a round of "Happy Birthday." A simple celebration of our sweet baby, but one of the many precious little memories for our kids as they grow together.

Peaceful Easy Weekend

Sometimes you just have to get away. That is exactly what we did. Two weekends ago we packed our stuff and took off. Steven arranged for a much needed weekend of rest and fun family time. We headed down to Newport Beach and stayed in a hotel and enjoyed the break from the chaos we call life. We ate out, shopped and enjoyed my absolute most favorite spot in the world, the sparkling sandy shore. What an amazing treat! This is not the norm, vacationing on a whim, but I certainly could get used to it. Thanks Steven for choosing to provide, protect, and love unconditionally your crazy little family. Oh by the way. I still can't get over the fact that it is JANUARY!!! and we are playing at the beach. I LOVE IT!!! We can never leave this beautiful place! Sorry Tricia!!! The Lambson Family is welcome any time to enjoy Southern California with us!
