I just wanted to briefly share why I loved, loved, loved cloth diapers.
The expense up front was more than a package of diapers, but over time I was able to save money. (Now just waiting for the bum genius training pants to come out, so I can quit buying pull ups, as I am not to happy with the gerber training pants system.) I also new that there were absolutely no chemicals going onto my baby's bottom, as I used special detergent for the diapers, and I know that they were designed by a mom for her baby, and they don't contain any bad chemicals. In the sense of the earth I was not contrubiting as much to the disposable diaper phenomenon over taking the landfills. The fun part was in the summer Thaddeus looked cute in his cloth diapers instead of the disposable.

You have been raised
These are the words to the song You Have Been Raised:
This track was recorded by the Na Band at the Sovereign Grace Studio in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
lyrics
Verse1
How do we know we’ve been forgiven?
How do we know that we have been made clean?
How do we know we’ll go to heaven?
How do we know we’ve been redeemed?
Chorus
You have been raised, the tomb has been opened
Nothing can take away our hope in You
You have been raised
You have been raised, the work is completed
Hell and its powers have been defeated
You have been raised
Verse 2
Now we are free from condemnation
There is no judgment left for us to fear
We don’t have to wonder if we’re welcome
You are the One who’s brought us near
Bridge
The price You paid for us
Has fully been accepted
Because of Your shed blood
We cannot be rejected

I had to share this song, It has been sung twice now at Celebrate Recovery, and I find it a great reminder, that He has been risen, and I nee to accept that He paid the price for EVERYONE'S sins, not just mine.

Love you!
This morning Jeremy was getting ready to go over to a friend's house to help with online applications, and as he was giving Thaddeus a hug and kiss bye, Thaddeus said love you for the first time!!!!!!

A brief update on what we have all been up too.
Jeremy -- He has been working on second shift at the shipyard, and working toward graduating from OCS in August.
Michelle -- I started working at Tri-City Christian Academy in the afternoons. I am a glorified babysitter, and love it!! I am able to take Thaddeus to work with me. Yahoo!! Though Nana Sheree will usually stay with him while I go to work.
Thaddeus -- Is all over the place! He hates getting dressed, loves to play with legos and cars, especially school busses. He can say quite a few words like, milk cup, thank you, please, mamma, daddy, zeus, cody, kitty, orange juice, ball cap, car, hat, poop poop, eat, uh uh,and uh huh. And can say a couple of sentences: here you go and take this.
We are all getting excited for my mom's visit in about a month. Her and my grandma are going to be driving from Washington to visit for Thaddeus' second birthday.
Hope you are well,
Michelle

I am still alive~
Well I figured I should post something, since it has been so long since I have posted.
Yesterday I started a job working at Tri-City Christian Academy, in their after school care program. I am only working 3 to 5 hours a week, but it is something, and the best part, Thaddeus can go to work with me!! I think I am going to love the job, once I get past the intial phase of the kids testing boundaries with me.
Thaddeus is growing in leaps and bounds. He knows the difference between yes and no, and loves to eat and not share with you. :0) He says please, thank you, poop poop, cracker, milk cup, eat, can count to three, and I am sure he says a few more words, I just can't think of them off the top of my head. He loves to play outside in the snow, and be where ever daddy is at. He loves his babysitter Mikayla. He usually doesn't want her to leave or doesn't want to leave her house if I have taken him there. He loves his Nana, his other babysitter very much too.
Right now we are "enjoying" the bitter cold winter. The last few days have been below zero. I am finding that I am missing the mild winters of the PNW.
Well that is us in a nutshell. I will try to post more than I have, but I am not making any promises. :0)
