Discouragement

Yes, I have been discouraged just a tad but Praise The Lord I am over it and am feeling much better! Things have been going great. We filled all the Sundays that we needed to fill in Oct. and Nov. So that is a BIG blessing. My Parents leave tomorrow for their 40yr anniversary trip, they are going to Hawaii, LUCKY! Actually they deserve it and I am sooo glad they get to go! We get to house sit while they are gone,woooohooo!!!! I can have a week of cooking in a NORMAL kitchen, do you know how hard it can be to cook for 10 people in a small convection oven????????????????????? I also get to take a shower and leave the water running for the whole shower, and not worry about running out of hot water, AND Jon and I get to sleep in a KING size bed, yippee, this is me jumping up and down. lol
The kids are all doing pretty good. Noah and Levi are doing Kindergarten together this year and they are making great progress, I am so proud of them! It has been a blessing seeing my older children growing spiritually. They have been burdened to be a witness and The Lord used them to bring a family to church while we were in Clarkston, WA. and as a result two teenager boys were saved! Mia is sleeping through the night and nursing very well, THANK YOU to all of you who prayed for her to nurse!! She is still such a good little girl, PTL. Some of her hair fell out, and guess what is growing back in??????????????????????
CARROT RED!!!!! Oh, ya, she IS a red head, Grandma loves it, every one at the Home Missions Conf. kept telling her how neat it was that her Granddaughter was going to have red hair just like her Grandma! :-)
I have been feeling domestic lately, can you believe that I made BANANA BREAD AND PUMPKIN BREAD and I also made some home made Chili and Corn bread, yes Sileena it was not just edible BUT it was actually VERY good. lol
We spent some time with the Dardens and Mackenzie is convinced that Liz brain washed me into trying to be more "health" conscious because of some of the new things I have been trying to implement:-)
You should have seen Josiah Darden when he discovered my snack drawer one night when I was watching he and Noah, wow was he surprised that he got to eat a whole little bag of fruit snacks all by his self. Liz didn't kill me so I guess that is good.lol He told his sisters all about the special drawer, I am pretty sure they were jealous :-)
Well it is late and I really should be sleeping so I am not going to post any Pics this time b/c it takes toooooooooo long! Love hearing from you, So Email me!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear things are going well... it sounds like you'll have a great week at your parents'! :) Seriously, I can't imagine doing that much cooking in such a small kitchen. Yikes!

Aw, I've been hearing much about the Dardens lately... I'm so sad I missed them while they've been at Calvary. :(

My Five Year Journey Finding time to create a post seems to be my struggle these days. I have wanted to sit down and create so many different post for my neglected blog but the business of life prevents me! Five years ago, I accepted a position at Hope Academy Charter as a Teacher. My children had been  home-schooled up to that point, and they were excited to come to work with Mom and get to be in a “real” school as they put it. As we drove up to this cute little campus with a bell tower, I said to the kids in the car, “One day, I am going to be the Principal of this place”. Lol  Well that mission was basically accomplished! (If you read this post you will get the long version) Fast forward five years later and what feels like 20 years of stress, I decided to make a career jump and go back to what I have always been meant to do. Being a Wife and Mom! How is that a career jump?  I am working from home as an Education Specialist for Summit Academy Charter .We be...

MIA JOY KNOUF 1 year old

Our Precious “Joy Girl” One Year ago, we had the privilege and honor to welcome yet another of God’s special blessings into our lives and home. Mia Joy Knouf has been such a “Joy” to our family and it has been so much fun seeing all the changes she has gone through this past year. It is hard to believe that I had such a hard time nursing her and now would you believe that is about all she wants, no pacifier or bottle! (that is kind of rough on Mom) We were also concerned about her weight and now we are calling her “chubby” ;0) God is so good! It is amazing how much a child learns in the first year of life, she is right on the verge of walking, she has taken a couple steps, She stands up in the middle of the floor while holding her baby doll but seems to be content with that. Speaking of Baby Dolls she is ALL girl, She loves them! But then she also likes to wrestle with Logan and Levi and they love it too! Of course all her brothers and sisters love playing with her, they are so amazed ...

Knouf Family Christmas Newsletter November 22, 2017 God has been so good to our family! It has been a long time! Traditionally, I use to write a Christmas letter, however I have failed to do so for a few years now. Part of the reason has been the change of how social media seems to keep us all connected more than ever. Truthfully the main reason has been that I have been too busy to even take time to write such a letter. Rewind back to 2014, Jon and I were going through a time of soul searching with our finances. As many of you know,  we have always had a strong belief that staying home with the children was where I should be. Pami was getting older and having children that could now help with her care it was decided that I needed to help with the financial support of maintaining a family of our size. We began to seek the Lord for guidance in this decision, ironically while I began working with my parents at creating a cleaning business of our own, we would listen to Dav...
