Yes, my Jesus lives! Hallelujah. We were invited over to enjoy an egg hunt and beautiful lunch after celebrating at church! Mom was proud for the girls to wear the outfits she worked on these past weeks and Dad was very happily wearing his matching blue sweater as this little guy. We are blessed parents of wonderful children.... but better yet, we are overly blessed children of the Lord. Happy Resurrection Day! The kids are napping and will find their little Easter surprises when they get up! Had to keep 1st things 1st and focus on Jesus this morning :) </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border: 0px currentColor; padding: 0px;" /></a></div>Kristi with a Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17396229531747561428noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501770876151007399.post-13774090671939167082012-02-26T04:13:00.000-08:002012-02-26T04:14:01.720-08:00<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi64zLKFcC4eMbg4TW01WNoTaJI1fXGFRY9BJP9XKvL4DpRALi8QN79bAOg4jHxITi9lH7E9VMAFbqRm6Bd9dMFqiSiSXx_8sOTdtBiQYfaPAfltZEqXgKmtd_KC2YyJOBVj4rJdNRFG_8/s1600/DSC_0243-2.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi64zLKFcC4eMbg4TW01WNoTaJI1fXGFRY9BJP9XKvL4DpRALi8QN79bAOg4jHxITi9lH7E9VMAFbqRm6Bd9dMFqiSiSXx_8sOTdtBiQYfaPAfltZEqXgKmtd_KC2YyJOBVj4rJdNRFG_8/s400/DSC_0243-2.JPG" /></a> </div><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Kristi with a Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17396229531747561428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501770876151007399.post-87348109401806160772012-02-05T07:41:00.000-08:002012-02-05T07:41:42.805-08:00Matilda Jane Party!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijMgseyggSUyjK4qAjjyatGP-voC7muw4G6aKuIMhNK546c0uoD_ptaWhGkCK00-5L9mVvn7LvJnTqw_kJbYGsbaJHCQzEiSZyno78Tr3maKPZZDRPpfMwnH2LlBCEmAX-HEhaAT10ICI/s1600/Serendipity.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijMgseyggSUyjK4qAjjyatGP-voC7muw4G6aKuIMhNK546c0uoD_ptaWhGkCK00-5L9mVvn7LvJnTqw_kJbYGsbaJHCQzEiSZyno78Tr3maKPZZDRPpfMwnH2LlBCEmAX-HEhaAT10ICI/s320/Serendipity.png" width="236" /></a>Did you know I'm hosting one? Yes I sure am!! What is Matilda Jane -- it's a cutie patootie little clothing line that's mostly sold via trunk shows set up in your home! Well, we are such a mobile family... my "trunk show" is all virtual. You can shop at their website - but I will warn you ahead of time. Brace yourself for sticker shock. This isn't the bargain basement of shopping... think more along the lines of Easter dress and special fun? The clothes are designed and sewn with a lot of whimsy and unusual matchy kind of style. I love it! <br />
So what's special about THIS trunk show? My trunk keeper Heather has offered to donate 10% of her profits to research for Tuberous Sclerosis! How fun? So I up'ed the anti. I will be sewing a brand new dress to be donated for every dress purchased. I'm going to be donating to DressAGirlAroundtheWorld.com - a Christian organization dedicating to providing a brand new dress to needy children all around the world.<br />

Who's excited? <br />
You can shop at <a href="http://www.matildajaneclothing.com/">www.MatildaJaneClothing.com</a> Click "shop the collection" The newest collection that was JUST released is called Seredipity ( on the left hand column). You can place items on your "wishlist" and then send your wishlist to my email address <a href="mailto:Kristi.Elston@gmail.com">Kristi.Elston@gmail.com</a> and I'll call you to finish up your order!! Try and send these in today. We are closing out the party tomorrow. I will also re-order next weekend for anybody who stumbles upon this late or needs to wait. <br />
Please - this isn't time to "buy in" because you feel guilty and want to help. This is purely fun and for those of you that would chose to shop here anyway - then there is a little extre incentive for you guys! OK!! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000;"><strong>Merry <span style="color: #274e13;">Christmas</span> to all! Praise Him for coming as a precious, needy, dependant baby... worthy of a throne but thankful for a manger!

I do promise to get back to this blog... and post about "normal" life -- but as most of you know, the last 6 months have been more than challenging and I'm just trying to catch my breath and get a stride going here! And I promise to send out REAL Christmas cards next year!!! :) I plan to go update Caleb's Caringbridge site as well. If you don't know what I'm talking about... sorry I didn't keep you in the loop. Visit Caringbridge.com and look up Caleb Elston!!! <br />

We're heading to the United Kingdom. I think we'll have to get our own double decker bus to tour around in? Seems a family of 5 is big these days :) We were given the opportunity... and had to make a quick decision. After much heming and hawing... praying... seeking advice... flipping coins... playing spin the bottle (what? Ok we didn't do that) -- we decided to go. We felt like itw as the opportunity of a lifetime - so with some sadness, bitterness, worry and maybe even a touch of regret before we even leave - we said yes. While we're nervous and overwhelmed -- more importantly we're excited, thrilled, nervous (in a good way), anticipating so much and just happy to have the chance! <br />
No - we aren't moving closer to "home" which is always kinda our goal... but, well... if you know me well enough you would expect this decision from me :) Sounds like something that Kristi would do is what you're all saying in your heads now! Pack up her family after just buying a house and settling down... moving overseas witha 2 year old... 3.5 year old and newborn for goodness sakes! Subject her family and friends to an even longer flight and more time-changes to think about when calling and visiting. Yep - I did it... and I'm suckering in my dear husband along with me. <br />
"Cheerio mates". Oh wait... that's not right. "Bloody hell" - yes yes, that's right BUT not so appropriate (even though they said it in Harry Potter!). Let's just go with "Long live the Queen" -- that one works? Meh -w hatever. We'll learn. <br />

He decided to be different... which may be a good thing, than his sisters! He almost made it to his actual due date!! Even better - he gave me a lovely Harry Potter style stretch mark smack-dab in the middle of my tummy in the extra week that I had to carry him in utero. No lie... he made his mark. <br />
Mom, aka "Mozzie", was here already and that came in super handy since my water broke without notice in the middle of the night - around 1:45am! We made it to the hospital around 3ish... epidural around 5:30 and he was here shortly after weighing 6lbs and 10oz! Welcome to the world sweet baby Caleb!!!<br />

Mozzie somehow missed out on the camera pictures... although I got her with the phone camera! They were super excited and more than cute... ready to hold, cuddle and kiss. They've both refused to change diapers though... They were awareded with their "Big-sister-helper-princess-capes" that I made earlier that week. That was cool... for at least a minute... but not as cool as baby Caleb. <br />

We were pleased to leave early on Saturday - before lunch even :) Guess that's what happens when it's your 3rd child (with an uncomplicated delivery). Praise the Lord - we're happy to have you here and in our arms little man!! Also pretty cute and a little nostalgic to see you in the same little carseat that your sisters used. <br />

These are our friendly quails that live in the neighborhood. They waltz through the backyard several times a day... very fat and very happy. I try and get pictures of these fellas - but they no likey my camera. They flew up in the tree JUST before I got'em this time. We've considered getting a BB-gun... I mean, these suckers would provide lots of freezable meat! I know what Uncle Lane would do!<br />

AREI know we're behind. Give us time, ok? First I most post and say... my dear husband's last post has made me cry on MANY occasions. He wrote it the day I flew out with one child on each hip and Mozzie (grandma Pernell) at my side to help. It was a sad, sad day and VERY bitter sweet. We had some rough times in Alaska and never got to enjoy it quite like we had hoped... but we had a VERY tight family of friends that we love dearly. We miss them all SO very much. Lily asks daily for all of her friends. She once told me "Well mom, we need to get on our airplane and go then" after I told her we couldn't go over and see her friends because they were in Alaska. She often times picks up her shovel and asks to go play in the snow as well! Our latest heartbreak was when we were all packed up in the car and heading to visit a new church. Lily was so excited and then... it made sense. "I get to play with Kinley mama? And Peyton?" Um... no sweetie, we're trying a new church... <br />
<br />
That being said - the girls are doing pretty well. They've handled all the change... as well as you could expect. NOT that it has been easy. They thoroughly enjoyed their little vacation at Papa and Mozzie's house and all the extra attention, extra sugar, extra lack of rules... you get my point. They missed their Daddy but that was NEVER more evident than after we were finally all back together again as a family! Reesie Piece is a HUGE Daddy's girl. From the moment he walks in the door she wants nothing to do with anyone else and demands his every attention! If she hears a rumble outside - she goes to the door and waits for Daddy to come in! If he bypasses her for a moment - to use the bathroom, unload his arms, or to DARE kiss his wife or Lily first... Reese makes her general disapproval known to everyone within earshot! It's cute and endearing... and frankly, I enjoy it! Lily continues to be a mama's girl. She's still an emotional child... she can be the sweetest child in the world and is VERY in tune to other's feelings! That being said, she's also quite over dramatic with her own! She has potty trained, moved into a big girl bed and learned to ride her tricycle with ease. She's also learned that Reese is now wedging in on her toys, her turf and her quality "me" time! Reese is walking and trying to run, climbing on EVERYTHING, into EVERYTHING and gets VERY excited about doggies and birds! She has some baby talk going on, but no obvious verbal inclination at this point! She's a poor sleeper... but we have faith she'll get it figured out... EVENTUALLY!! <br />
<br />
We're all enjoying our new home! It fits us beautifully and we really enjoy it. The kids love playing outside and we're out there several times a day! They've also enjoyed eatting the fresh (and rotten...) fruits that are growing around back including plubs, oranges (well, its' the neighbors tree... but we can read'em!), strawberries and apples -- and are watching the grapes grow and ripen on the vine! There are roses blooming that we hope to get pruned back and under control as well as several other beautiful flowers. They've both learned what "bugs" are. Reese doesn't care and will happily put them in her mouth. Lily flips out... she just wasn't accustomed to bugs where we were! But she's learning... and she likes to use the fly swatter. We've all gotten a little bit more vitamin D in our system and it feels good!! <br />
<br />
Just a quick little update to say "Hi from sunny California" and we hope to be back with more! I'll try and get some pictures up eventually!! <br />

And, so it was. Marriage, moving, new job for Kristi, pregnancy #1, graduation, new job for Josh, 5 weeks in AL away from Kristi, packing, moving to AK, buying a first home, buying a first crib, painting a baby room and delivering baby #1 all thrown into year number one of marriage we thought we would never catch our breath. <br /><br />I was busy learning my new job working many, many long hours when Lily came along on a dark, winter day, close to the shortest day of the year. It was -10F when we brought her home that first day. Then Kristi stopped being a nurse to be a full-time mom. Raising Lily for the 1st 9 months, with a tired stressed mama and a tired, stressed dad was probably one of the worst times of my whole life. Lily was miserable so, therefore, mama was. Mama was miserable, so, therefore, I was too. We hung on as best we could to God and to each other. We didn't find a church (and friends) for almost a year and a half. With no outlets for either of us and a sick baby, it all just seemed too much at times. We began to HATE Alaska and resent the beauty of it that we could only ever admire from our home window. With no energy to venture out with Lily, we just survived. Al the while, Kristi and I's relationship grew and grew. All for the better. <br /><br />After Kristi took the time to figure out Lily's ailments things got better. Kristi found a lousy job, but it gave her time to talk and think like an adult, it gave Lily some time to socialize, and it gave me some peace of mind knowing that both were doing better. I won't tell the terrible stories of how we eventually found our wonderful nanny but I'm sure any parent could fill in the blanks about that, eh-hem, adventure. Peace came again, but only shortly, when pregnancy number #2 was bestowed upon our house. Just 8 months after Lily's birth news of #2 was already thundering down the halls. Suddenly, our house, and my paycheck seemed much smaller than before. Too shocked ourselves, we kept #2 quiet until halfway through the 2nd trimester. Baby two has to be different we thought. Easier to raise, no allergies, please God.<br /><br />Reese Caroline came in the summer time, close the longest day of the year. She was born around 9pm but the sun was still out. God had been working on mom and dad while Reese was cooking so we both felt slightly more prepared. And, at least, we had a full wardrobe of pink clothes already purchased for her. Maybe my wallet can stretch farther than I thought. Reese is certainly mellower and less dramatic than Lily but also comes with food allergies. So be it. If we can deal with it with one kid, two shouldn't be too much. After all, buying dairy-free, soy-free, and gluten-free in bulk should be cheaper, right? Well, in Alaska it's not.<br /><br />Today, we are more a family than ever. Kristi is the most wonderful mother. She's so loving, a wonderful teacher, a great discipline-er and still finds time to make a me a hot meal before I come home from work. I admire, respect, and love her with all of my heart. I love her more than when we left for Alaska, more than when Lily came, more than when Reesie Piece came, and more today than yesterday. <br /><br />The Air Force was and has been very, very good to me. There's something intangible serving in the military offers me that gets me out of bed and off to work everyday. Most days I may even carry a smile on my face into work. God blessed me with the right job, the right boss, the right staff, and the right place all at the same time. Heading to CA, I feel quite prepared for my next position. And, I greatly look forward to the sun and a shorter winter. <br /><br />Alaska is big. Huge. It's wonderful, majestic, and beautiful. You should come visit. You can't help but worship the Creator of such a place. Sometimes I think He made those mountain outside my front window just for me. Even though I saw the same mountain out my window everyday, I never grew tired of them. I never wished for another view. I was satisfied. What a rare feeling for me on this earth. But, make no mistake. It was never the creation that was amazing, it was only ever the Creator. <br /><br />God is bigger than Alaska (which, by no small coincidence, is also bigger than TX). He's bigger than unplanned pregnancies and colicky babies. He's bigger than the 18 hour plane ride home to either TX or NC. He's bigger than school loans or home loans. And, best of all He's bigger than the struggles we've endured up here. Halelujiah, we've survived and, dare I say, even grown as a result of living in AK. <br /><br />Kristi and I have grown closer than ever. Our kids have grown. I have grown a lot as a dad but am amazed at how slow my growth has been. Two kids and I still feel like I'm just figuring out how to be a dad, let alone a good one. I'm so selfish. But, I have learned one thing about being a dad so far- time is what matters most to kids. Their toys get old and they don't care about my money. But, they long for my time. My kids think I'm the coolest when I'm laying down in the middle of the floor with them, just being there with them, as if I were one of them. Jesus does the same thing with me. Cool.<br /><br />I pray for blessings on blessings for the friends we have made up here. To the Wagners, The Rizer's, the Braquet's, the Schlei's, and the Wilson's...thank you. Thank you for going through our struggles with us; for consistently and lovingly offering to help us carry our burdens. Jesus used you to rescue us out of the miry pit (Ps 40). I learned how to love my wife better, be a better dad, and to know Christ and his goodness more because of you all, my friends.

She was excited and was ready to put on her "hoHO" hat! As we circled through the mall looking for him - she called out "Santaaaaa where are you." And then we found him. We were all still kicks and giggles until it came time to sit on his lap... She was less than thrilled and quickly pulled out all of her little cute/sad tricks. All I can say is that Santa was.. um... less than jolly himself. He truly summed up what we expected an Alaskan Santa to be. We paid for our pictures and laughed all the way home -- we'll surely be able to tell Lily about her trip to see her Alaskan Santa. At least it wasn't all out bawling this year! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA9tSEzLDHJUPEyzYwvsXlG-i_NesmNG0r-XiSd6B5kC28AMW5Y7-XeqNa5UIcgF3Htdtjmy6JOExtnqa1qgtnIko0_y4b0ETNDHqP-dFuY0OelB6HCDibM79n5hKlKWOrJ87AD5bB5IQ/s1600-h/IMG_0301.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA9tSEzLDHJUPEyzYwvsXlG-i_NesmNG0r-XiSd6B5kC28AMW5Y7-XeqNa5UIcgF3Htdtjmy6JOExtnqa1qgtnIko0_y4b0ETNDHqP-dFuY0OelB6HCDibM79n5hKlKWOrJ87AD5bB5IQ/s400/IMG_0301.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417075184122363426" /></a>Kristi with a Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17396229531747561428noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501770876151007399.post-29701439674599569912009-12-19T14:05:00.004-08:002009-12-19T14:24:05.964-08:00DISNEY WORLD!!!<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="288" height="192" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fkristi.elston%2Falbumid%2F5417071680401603713%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><br />We had a blast... what can I say. We had a great time in a magical place, with some great friends, food and fun!! Mozzie and Papa Pernell GRACIOUSLY flew all the way up to Alaska for us to have our fun in the sun. As you can see from the pictures.... we desperately needed the sun. <br />We had a wonderful time - the kids did great AND Mozzie and Papa survived! Thanks to them... the only way we were willing to go was if we didn't have to fly with the kids! <br />We were able to see all the parks with the great military discount that we got! We spent day 1 in the Magic Kingdom doing all things Disney. Days 2 - 5 we saw Epcot, toured the countries, Hollywood Studios and the Animal Kingdom! The food was amazing and Disney was SUPER helpful with all of the allergies/food restrictions I had while there. We enjoyed our hotel and even swimming in the pool.... OUTSIDE? Can you believe that? People can swim in water that's outside without freezing. Who would have thought... <br />I tortured our friend when I made them endure Figment's ride... my favorite as a child. It wasn't my fault that we rode the Jungle Snooze (Cruise) OR this fine ride showcased here. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xeguN_ZMm2HJK_ZxEuKwUqNniqQaRMQGkH8vZn5SprgmTnXMTCab7M1C1OVa1zcx5CDnA4n0CwclgJByl1UlwKVdeYaeTOwhRSWrqrUetelZkOiGHuc0QnqM5tDmSuhVURD9JZoyQY8/s1600-h/100_2823.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xeguN_ZMm2HJK_ZxEuKwUqNniqQaRMQGkH8vZn5SprgmTnXMTCab7M1C1OVa1zcx5CDnA4n0CwclgJByl1UlwKVdeYaeTOwhRSWrqrUetelZkOiGHuc0QnqM5tDmSuhVURD9JZoyQY8/s400/100_2823.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417073469377543730" /></a><br /><br />We were able to ride Space Mountain even though it was closed... thoroughly enjoyed the Hollywood Tower of Terror and the Toy Story Mania rides! Those were some of our very favorites among others. We even enjoyed all of the Christmas decorations! What a GREAT time of year to go to Disney... we hardly waited in lines at all. We even had a great team plan our trip and itenarary at NO charge to us!

Bedtime stories sounds more appropriate - but not here :o) Lily is currently taking notice of the potty and occasionally wants to sit there... She's made a little progress and managed to do her thang once or twice - but we don't hold our breath. Today was particularly funny because not only was she tring to do her... um.. #2 thang (again, only partially successful and even funnier to watch Josh clean it up) - she asked for her book and politely sat and read it. What did we do? Grab the camera like good little parents. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhb2tMDKsng3dKPTDl9-4QDTZHKnzwX-hCTRHJfE3YNQqViehTDXsAVtpTYWRxMOcaufwDGmvP5z5yw81VHjobezpMROjnNxuS6rl9BWXPCGkHju2nGoWnJ2ZOToHDFH1TphNktiqFmGM/s1600-h/DSC_0005-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 205px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhb2tMDKsng3dKPTDl9-4QDTZHKnzwX-hCTRHJfE3YNQqViehTDXsAVtpTYWRxMOcaufwDGmvP5z5yw81VHjobezpMROjnNxuS6rl9BWXPCGkHju2nGoWnJ2ZOToHDFH1TphNktiqFmGM/s400/DSC_0005-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414610946743519986" /></a><br /><br />We decided to have a little fun... err - make a little mess. Ok, more like A LOT of mess and make some Christmas cookies! I made them all up, allergen free of course -- and prepared the icing during nap time! Then it was time to decorate. Lily had a BLAST and especially loved the sprinkles. She would get so excited when asked for the sprinkles that she'd start saying "skpwinfoisoid" and look at you in a hurry for you to pass them her way!! Despite her sprinkling MUCH more than her cookies - it was a good time AND the cookies?
