Finally something new...

Life here at the Lytle household has been very busy.  I'll attempt to update you on the latest.

Norah:

Well, she is talking more, running faster and even cuter than a month ago.  She is such a social butterfly and has no fear walking up to complete strangers and talking away!  Her new favorite food is coconut curry chicken, that's our girl, and as of last night, chocolate ice cream!  She loves to help me clean.  I hear a little voice always right behind me asking, "oop you" help me.  She is also growing up, she is now 31" tall and 20lbs.  She still looks petite to us, but at least she hits the charts with her weight.  The funniest thing she does lately is act like a dog.  I seriously think she has a some identity problem.  She really thinks she is a dog, hence the photo of her drinking water like a dog and eating out of his food bowl.  If you have been around her lately you most likely have noticed her growling.  I believe she got this from Bauer and is attempting to growl like him.  Although we are working on it because it is also an attitude problem.  =) She is constantly asking to be "siiide" with Bauer.  A few times she has woken up in the middle of the night asking to go outside and I have to tell her to wait until morning.   From the moment she wakes up all she wants to do is play outside.  Seth mentioned taking her camping, but I am a bit hesitant because I think she might connect the dots and realize you CAN live outside, forever...I love that I have a little girly who is not afraid of bugs or dirt.  I just can't wait for it to cool off so I am not dying of heat when we spend all day outside.

Me:

Well, I am just a confusing as ever with my health issues.  I won't get into all the details, just be praying.  I had tests last week to try and reveal the cause of my odd symptoms, but they all came back normal.  The Dr. is back to square one and has no idea at this point what is wrong.  He gave me lots of his ideas to what he thought it could be and I am trying not to jump to conclusions or worry.  I know God has always been faithful to heal me or to at least comfort in times of need.  Trusting Him is really all I can do at this point.  Everything else in life is going smoothly.  My BeautiControl business has weeks of being good and bad.  This week is potentially going to fall in the "good" week!  School is going great and I am really enjoying my students this year.  That's all for me.

Seth:

Is amazing and I love him!  He has been working so hard to come up with a battle plan to get us out of debt in 18 months!  It is going to be very difficult and requires lots of sacrifices and planning.  We are both super excited about getting out of debt and I think we both feel God's grace in the situation.  We will have to give up a lot, and if you are close to us you might already be feeling the results of some of those things....driving to friends, going out, anything extra and potentially our house!   It is only a season and we both know that.  It will be hard and at times extremely hard, but the end result (no debt) will be much greater!!  Our first attempt to get some extra cash was to have a garage sale.  Since we don't have a garage we had a porch sale!  We made out with over $300!!  God is so good!!
