UPDATE!

Well I decided to update you all instead of just posting pictures and little sayings. Nat turned 4 months on January 20th and that day she had her 4 month appointment. OH BOY shots! she hates them but its something they got to go through. she was 13 lbs 12 ounces at her appointment and 23 1/2 inches long. she is getting so big! She is already wearing 6 month clothes. She learned to pick up her toys now and loves her butterfly toy that gramma Den Boer got her for Christmas. Jonathan is getting so big too. His birthday is in a month and he is going to be 2 years old. I can't believe it. He is still so skinny and about 26 lbs now. he is learning his animal sounds and knows his alphabet from A to C. He knows his body parts and loves his nose... it is fun to pick and poke! oh boy my kids are just growing so big I just can't believe they are getting so big and growing so fast. I love everyday with them and watching everything they do. It makes me happy and brings a smile to my face. Jason has failed another listening test for his Korean and now we are just waiting to know what is going to happen to us. He still has to go to class and do his homework but he is getting tired of it. The teachers turned in their packet and now we are just waiting to her from the company to know if Jason will be recycled or if he gets a new job. we really need all the prayers we can. Right now we are just trying to enjoy our time together here in the beautiful weather... 70 degrees everyday! I thought I would miss the snow and the winter but I think I am loving this. I have been sick off and on since new years which has been no fun but I finally went to the doctor and he found out I had a bad infection in my glands behind my ear. Its pretty bad so I have been trying to get rid of it. I just keep praying for the health I need to be able to spend a wonderful day with my kids. Last week we went on an 8 mile bike ride with some friends which was so much fun! A lot of work because of all the hills over in the ord area but it was good for me. I started working out about a month ago and decided I really want to get in shape and lose this weight I gained with my two kids. I have been trying but had a few delays with my sickness but so far I have lost 5 lbs 8 ounces and 2 inches off my waist which is awesome. I am going to keep working hard at it so I can get healthy. last Saturday on the way to Salinas we stopped at SPCA and we found a dog that we loved. She has been apart of our family for a week now and we are loving her. We went to the beach yesterday and we saw one of the workers from SPCA and she said she remembers Dakota and she said she thinks she is happy and looks so happy. She said that just made her day to know one of their dogs went to a good home. Things have been so good with the Barfuss family. We do miss our family so much and we wish we could visit everyone but it kinda requires money which we don't have. But maybe one day soon. Well I better get going we need to head up to church. I hope you all enjoy this and feel updated on our lives. I love you all!
