Cell phones.......You to love them!!

This all started back about 2 years ago. I lost my phone in a snow bank in Ohio we switched to nextel ( total nightmare!!!) Then to verizon. The service is great with them if we had descent phones. Mark's phone went to pot yesterday!!! But this was due trying to buy a used one to save us money.....NOT!!!So this was an extra expense that we did NOT need this week. But God has blessed and seems to have taken care of most of this for us.

I am in the office again working on a project of 500 CD's for a customer!! So I guess that you all know that I will be in the basement pretty much ALL day!!! YEAH!!

We are looking forward to this weekend and all of the meetings. Your prayers would be greatly be appreciated. We are going to be traveling a lot.

Hope that everyone is doing well today. Enjoy the beautiful day that the Lord has made!!!

Tyler is officially a BOY!!

What a weekend that we had up at Bayshore Camp, in Sebawing Michigan! It rained some on Saturday, but we all still had a wonderful time! Tyler loved roaming around as if he owned the place. I have never seen him want to get to far away from us, but this weekend his leash was a little longer with me!!! He was in his little world, or as he knows it. Being around all the gospel groups in Michigan. He was ready to sing!! Now about the being all boy part. We were set up outside so this explains a little right here. The grass and dirt looked so interesting to him. So, what I was about to find when I turned around to find him for the 50th time was...........yep!! You guessed it a HANDFUL of dirt right into his mouth!!! YEAH!!! He has arrived! The bad thing was, he did actually act like he liked it and went down for some more!! AAAAAAA!!! We stopped that immediately!!

We had a great time Sunday night as well. God truly blessed and worked in some peoples lives. We pray that they were encouraged and renewed!

Thank you for your prayers. Mark has been SO hard at work on the new CD that he promised me he had no BIG plans for this week , but to just hang out here at home together and do a few thing that he likes to do. And rest......he needs it!!!

Thanks again. Keep little Tyler in your prayers. He is growing up SO fast!!(cry!!) Sorry I had to take a moment for myself!! Keep on keeping on for the Lord!!

In Christ,
Andrea Forester

Weeds, weeds and MORE weeds!!

Today was filled with lots of odd to do's! I mowed the yard yesterday but did not get to all the weeds that are in our flower beds. I used to have pretty flowers and mulch in them and now it is all I can do to keep all the weeds pulled! Mark and I like to say that we just like to have them be organic flower beds!!! And this is sure what they are! I also had sprayed weeds that had grown onto our patio, so it was time to scrape all of these off and sweep it as well. It looks amazing......Or maybe just what a patio should look like?

Also I have been downstairs doing CD's AGAIN!!! Oh, well it helps pay the bills and the Lord brings us the work! So I can't complain!

I tried to catch up on Tyler's first years book. It is filled with all of his first things that he did and some of the funny things too ! I think that I am caught up now. I will try and share one with you now and try to be very cautious on how I word it. He is to little to get upset with me now and he will never know that I told you this!! HA! I was giving him a bath the other night, and usually I will wash my face and brush my teeth while he is playing before I get him out. While doing so I heard a little grunt. I have been waiting for the day that he would go# 1 in the tub, but this was NOT #1, but #2!!!! EEWW!!!! So I delicately got him out of the tub, washed the tub and we started all over again. So believe it or not that had to go in his book for his future wife to read!! HA!! He is going to LOVE me for this one!!!

God has been so good to us to have little Tyler in our lives. We do not know what we would do without him. He is truly a joy, going #2 and ALL!!! Thank you for your prayers for him. Please keep them up!! He still needs them.

We are looking forward to singing our new songs from our CD this weekend. Please pray that we do well with them. It is always a little scary trying new songs for the first time. Thanks for your prayers in advance!!

Take care and may the Lord bless you for all that you are doing out there for Him!!

Because of Calvary,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

HAHA!!! Just seeing if you were awake! Although I have been preparing for it this week!! Mark's mom always has us go through magazines that she gets in the mail and then we get to make our wish list. We were over there visiting the other day. So off to writing down my list I went!! Bashful........NOT me!!! When my mom found out that this is what we do, I think that she was a little embarrassed that her daughter would do such a thing!!! But, if it makes shopping a little easier for my mother-in-law, then I WANT to be a BLESSING to her!! Of course .......Right?

I am at work in the office today and other home chores. Update on Tyler is that he is doing well and back on his feet, like his old self!! Talking away and smiling!!!

I need to go mow the yard before Tyler wakes up so we will talk to you soon! Thanks again for everything that you do!!!

Yours in Christ,
Andrea

Fevers, colds and crying!!!

Hello,

We have been to the doctor this week along with everything else! Tyler had a 103.3 Monday night and we thought that we could fight it off here at home. But I could'nt so I took him to the doctor yesterday. Only for them to tell us that they did not find anything abnormal. He is not nawing on anything so it led us not to believe that he was teething but maybe so. We started him on some medicine along with Tylenol of course! Pray for him if you will.............And me!!!!!

I did some more CD's today and laundry. Juggling Tyler along with it.Because I did not get to much done yesterday. He was just out of his mind last night, at 2a.m. this morning. He cried for about 30 minutes for no reason!! Bless his heart. I felt so helpless. So I called for daddy and he came to the rescue. I held him while Mark sang him to sleep. Get this. I tried and all he did was cry................Needless to say that I was a little hurt!! After all what is wrong with mama singing??? But , I have to say. It did help daddy's ego a little!!

We had a great weekend with our date! We didn't get there until 2 a.m. Sunday morning. But we made it! God is good and faithful to us!!

Thank you for your prayers. I've got to go Tyler is going crazy.......He needs a l-o-n-g nap and so do I.

In Christ,
Andrea

Clean inside and Out!!

That is what I want my life to be, but that is not what happened yesterday. For you see I was washing all of our windows in our house!!! If I came inside and outside once, I did it a hundred times. When you are doing this yourself with no one on the other side, it can take a while.

I would come in thinking that they were all clean and then discover that........ NO! There were streaks, sure enough! AAAHHH! But Praise the Lord I got them all done and we can see out them again!

This just reminded me when I was doing them that this is how I want my life to be. Clean inside and out. Always keeping a check from the inside out how clean my life really is. No one else can do it for me, just like when I was cleaning the windows by myself, only I can do that. God is so good and faithful to us. To forgive and let us come right back into His loving arms and start serving Him again!

So, that was my chore for yesterday along with of course........YES! You guessed it LAUNDRY!!! Matter of fact I just put 2 loads in now! My mom always said when I was at home we are either the nastiest people alive OR the cleanest people. I like to refer to ourselves as the cleanest people. But everyone has their opinion! HA! I sure don't think that we stink........DO WE?? Just kidding!

I hope that you have a wonderful day. It is a beautiful one out there so enjoy. We have already been out and as soon as Tyler wakes up from his nap we are going for a swing!!!

A always thank you for your prayers and support. We will talk to you soon.

God bless,
Andrea Forester

LAUNDRY.......That's Life!!

Hello!

You ladies can relate to me on this one, I know! I had 8 loads to do on Monday from our weekend gone on the road! I got all but 1 done juggling everything else on Monday as well. Yee haw!

I also went grocery shopping too! Our fridge looked a little anorexic!!! But we had.....KETCHUP!!! That's good on just about anything!!

Yesterday I just cleaned around the house and ran a few errands. Suits to the cleaners, of course a run to WALMART and all the other home chores.

Today office work and DVD duplication for a customer! Deliver the DVD's to them and then get ready for Church tonight.

Mark is hard at work in the studio on our new project due out real soon. We are SO excited! I have popped in here and there today putting in extra parts.

I hope that all of you are doing well out there today. We thank you as always for your prayers and support to us and the ministry. Keep Tyler in your prayers, we would appreciate it greatly.

Thank you again and may the Lord bless you in all that you are doing for him.

In Christ,
Andrea Forester

SPELL CHECK!!!

And run on sentences........YES, I do know what they are!!!! I was in such a hurry the other day writing my blog that I did not do spell check for safety. And with Tyler under my feet at the time I was just trying to write as fast as I could.......OBVIOUSLY!!!

Today we have been HARD at work and thank the Lord Tyler has been such a good boy. But, he usually is....Really, no joke, he is!! We did a lot of CD's for a customer today and ours as well.

However I did take time out to spend some time with Tyler and play. We both needed a break from the basement. I took him outside and pushed him in his new swing. Then we had a snack. He had vegetable beef dinner and I had a slice of COLD watermelon......MMM!!

I hope that I look a little bit more educated in this blog then the one before this one. HA!

Thank you for your continued prayers and support and we hope to see you all soon somewhere. Stay cool out there!!! LITERALLY!!!
