Houston's Happenings

Life Overseas

2009-08-29T00:12:00.004-04:00

I thought I might post a few pics of our life here in Central Asia. Below you can see Mike and Marcy's local clothing. They are very comfortable. Mike's pants (as you can see below) are really huge. They usually cinch them up and have lots of extra room for moving around while sitting on the floor. Marcy has to wear the long black coat whenever she goes out. It was really hot when the weather was 115 degrees. Thank goodness things are beginning to cool off a little. We have only been in the 90's lately. :)

Here is a picture of our house. It looks pretty impressive, but we only live on the second floor. There is a single girl that lives on the first floor. It is like two different apartments. We really like our house.

In other news, our crate finally arrived! We were so excited to get it. Zane keeps saying "Hey, I remember that" each time he sees a new book or toy that was packed away. Gabe is just loving all of the new things. It was like Christmas around here. I was most excited about all of my kitchen stuff. I have been waiting to make some red beans and rice until I got my Tony's. I made them the day after we got the crate. I think I might have gotten a little Tony's happy in my excitement. They were nice and spicy!!

We are back in the throws of potty training. UUUGGGHHH! We were almost there several months ago, but then Zane reverted when all of the transition began. So, this is the first relatively calm, non transitional time since the end of '08. It has been two days - somewhat discouraging days, but we are hanging in there. I am determined to have no more diapers for Zane. Pray that it goes well, he "gets" it and that Mom and Dad can have patience with him.

Gabe is beginning to talk. He said his first word last week. You won't believe what it was - "Amen". Just like Zane's first word. We were flabergasted! The same first word for both of them. We were at dinner and prayed for our food. When the "amen" came, we all - including Gabe - said it. He also says "nap". Of course there is "mama" and "dada" too.

Thought you might like to hear a "Zane-ism". Zane is at the age where he says the cutest things. He was talking with a friend of ours about her forehead. Then he looked at her perplexed and said "Where is your fivehead?" Too cute. I will have to start jotting these down.

More later!

Finally - a new post

2009-08-23T10:29:00.002-04:00

I was appalled to see that I have not updated my blog since November of '08. What a slacker! Well, it took ALL DAY, but here are some updated family pics (mostly of the boys since they are the cute ones anyway).
Please check back every now and again. I am going to try to do better at updating the pictures and just jotting down random things from our life in Central Asia. This will be my way of keeping you in the loop of the Houston's Happenings overseas. Enjoy!

Fall Photo Shoot

2008-10-19T15:36:00.003-04:00

We took a beautiful fall afternoon to try and shoot some autumn pics. They really turned out great! Zane enjoyed playing at the park. I don't even think he realized he was having pictures taken after the initial attempts to get both boys together.

Zane's 2nd Birthday!

2008-09-21T14:47:00.002-04:00

It is so hard to believe that my baby is already 2!! My how the time flies. We celebrated Zane's 2nd birthday with a party at the park. The weather was absolutely beautiful! The kids loved playing on the slides and swings. I think Zane took half of the park home with him on his clothes, arms and legs. A good time was had by all.

Growing Up So Fast

2008-08-02T14:26:00.007-04:00

We have had several of you asking for updated pictures of Gabe - so here they are. It is unreal how quickly little ones change at this age. Gabe is doing great sleeping at night. He is beginning to learn how to fall asleep on his own without out too much fussing during the day. He picks that little head up quite nicely now too. We are even getting a few smiles, although it is still a little early to say that he actually is smiling at us. Maybe it is the gas like everyone says.

As you see from this picture of Zane, he is just ALL BOY. He was outside "riding" a neighbor's tricycle (which is really just pushing it with his feet). He decided to ride DOWN the steps. But you know... he was really just scared by the fall. Once I got to him and picked him up, he stopped crying. I don't think the boo-boo really bothered him all that much - until I had to clean it up.

Here is a little video of Zane learning his numbers. We are also beginning to work on letters, colors and shapes. He is repeating then quite well. There are a few that he will say the number or letter that follows the one we are trying to get him to say. What can I say ... Zane is brilliant.

And finally, here is Mommy with her two precious little men.

Oh Brother!

2008-07-16T14:10:00.002-04:00

Zane is getting more used to having Gabe here. He still does not want to hold him too much, but he loves patting him and sitting by him. I think he might be understanding what it means to have a brother. I am still just in awe at the TWO precious blessings that God has blessed us with.

Gabriel Seth Houston

2008-06-27T14:10:00.002-04:00

We wanted to show you the newest addition to our family. Gabriel Seth Houston was born this past week. Zane was excited to welcome his new little brother into the world. The birth was quite interesting. Marcy was already dilated 5 cm a few days before Gabe's birth. When he decided to make his entrance into the world, he came in a HURRY! Marcy had her first hard labor contraction at 4:30 PM when her water broke. We rushed to the hospital, checked in at 5:00 and Gabe was born at 5:27 PM. Can you believe it!! Neither could we. Hope you enjoy the pictures of our newest gift from God!

It's been a LONG time!

2008-06-09T12:24:00.007-04:00

Wow! I had gotten so much better about posting, and then I just fizzled out. I know it is not the real reason (Laziness is the real reason), but I will blame it on being pregnant. I am almost 36 weeks pregnant. That is further that I got with Zane, who was born at 32 weeks. I have been on bed rest (so you would think that I would have been able to do a post by now!!), and should get off of bed rest this week! WooHoo!!

Anyway, I thought that I would update the blog with some of the most recent pics of our most precious little gift from God. Zane is really growing up so fast. He is already 20 months old! It is just so amazing how time flies. He is about to be a big brother. We have tried to explain to him what a "brother" is, but he really can not understand yet. I am curious to see what happens when he realizes that this little bundle is not going away. We have been praying for a smooth transition into to siblinghood for him.

He is getting taller and is talking so much. We are understanding more and more of it, but of course there are still all those jabber words that don't make much sense. He has moved into his big boy bed and is doing great. He has only gotten out one time. Usually he will just sit in there and chatter until we come get him. What a good little man we have.

Well, on to the cute pics and videos. These are some highlights of the time we spent in Louisiana with family in April and some times when Mema and Mamaw came to Louisville. Enjoy!

Having so much fun!

2008-02-15T10:45:00.005-05:00

Here are a few videos of some of the fun things Zane has been doing. Oh, to go back and enjoy life this much. It is crazy how we as adults get so caught up in the daily burdens of life that we forget to just enjoy it. Each day is a blessing from God. Slow down today and do something fun for yourself.

Christmas 2007

2008-02-11T15:44:00.000-05:00

Well, it has only taken me 2 months to get these Christmas pictures up. I guess things got pretty busy with the holidays and all. We had a wonderful, long visit with family. We were blessed to be able to stay in Ruston for almost two weeks! We spent good quality time with both sets of grandparents and with Mike's brother's family.

We were most blessed in being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ with Zane. He is beginning to be able to sit longer and listen as we share Bible stories. We read of all the events leading up to the birth of Christ, and then to share the story of Jesus' birth on Christmas Day - a family tradition.

I pray that your Christmas was wonderful as you visited with friends and family. But most importantly, I pray that it was meaningful as you remembered and celebrated the Greatest Gift of all - Jesus Christ.

Graduation Day!!

2008-02-06T13:12:00.001-05:00

Big congratulations for Mike! In December he graduated from Southern. It took about 2+ years, but he earned his Masters of Arts degree. We are so proud of him!

First Word!

2008-02-06T08:45:00.001-05:00

We have been anxiously awaiting Zane's first word. He babbles all the time, but no understandable words. Finally the other night during our family worship time, he decided to say something - "Amen". We were so excited. Maybe now that he has started down the road to actual words, they might start coming a little quicker. Here's our "Amen" video. Sorry the video is sideways. Hope you enjoy it anyway!

I Go Out Walkin'

2007-11-24T19:41:00.000-05:00

Here is video of our little man walking all around. He is all over the place. Isn't it so cute?

Happy Thanksgiving!

2007-11-23T16:32:00.001-05:00

Well, we are finally up and running on our new computer. The old one was so messed up that we had to just start over with a new one. It is pretty snazzy! Anyway, we wanted to try posting again using this new computer.

So, here is our Happy Thanksgiving day picture for you. We had a good Thanksgiving in spite of being away from family. We had other "family-less" families over to celebrate together. There are lots of seminary couples that could not make it home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. So, we were family for each other. We still had way more to eat that we needed and Mike even got to watch some football. A nice nap ended the afternoon.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving also.

Quick Houston update

2007-11-09T20:58:00.000-05:00

Hello all! I just wanted to let you know that Zane is going to be a big brother! The new baby is expected to arrive sometime in mid-July (if all goes as planned this time). Please pray for a good pregnancy that goes to term. So far everything is going great. My doctors are really being through and taking lots of precautions even this early. We will keep you up to date on the progress of Houston baby #2.

Mike is at the end of his semester. He has only one week of classes, a week off for Thanksgiving and then finals! He is really down to crunch time. He is still quite busy trying to get those last papers written and books read. Please continue to pray for him also.

Zane is doing great. He is starting to walk all around. He still gets a little off balance, but that should be over with soon. We figure that by next week, he will be walking all over the place. It is so cute. I will try to get some video up of it as soon as I can.

I also wanted to let you know that our computer crashed. That is why there are no pictures with this update. I am doing this on Mike's work computer, but all the pics are on our computer that cannot boot up. Hopefully we will get it fixed or get another one soon. We can still check email on Mike's work computer, so we would love to hear from you!

Zane's First Birthday

Well, I am finally getting pictures of Zane's first birthday up for you to see. Hope you enjoy them.

Huber's Farm

2007-10-17T10:13:00.000-04:00

We went for a little trip to a local farm. Pumpkins were everywhere! There were games to play, corn mazes (actual mazes through corn fields) to walk, animals to see and ice cream to eat! It was a fun day. We got a few pictures, but then the camera battery died. Thought you might like to see what little we did capture.

Race for the Cure

2007-10-17T09:42:00.000-04:00

On October 13th Marcy participated in the Susan Komen Race for the Cure. She ran in honor of the mothers. Sue Ann is a 7 year survivor and Jill is a 4 year survivor! Praise the Lord for healing these two precious women in our life. Marcy was doing great in her training, but slacked off for a couple of months. She only anticipated running about half of it, but much to her surprise, she ran the whole 3.1 miles! It was all for the moms. Love you Moms!

I finally earned my OWN race shirt.

Zane crawling

2007-10-04T20:24:00.000-04:00

For the longest time, Zane was perfectly happy
doing the "army crawl". He has learned how
much quicker he can go up on his knees.
It is just so cute, I had to share it.

Zane's Haircut

2007-10-01T20:50:00.000-04:00

Although this was not Zane's first haircut, it was his first professional haircut. He did wonderful. He loved sitting in the little boat and "driving" his way through his haircut. I don't think he was even concerned about what the lady was doing. He was just driving, driving, driving. The finished product makes him look like such a little boy. He is no longer Mama's baby. My goodness he is growing up so fast!

What a Cutie!

2007-09-05T14:04:00.000-04:00

Just thought we would share a few new cute pics. I just love Zane's big. happy smile. You can't help but smile too when you see it. He is just such a blessing and a miracle. Everyday I tell him what a precious gift from God he is. I just hope that one day he really understands just what a miracle he is. Thank you Lord for my precious family.

Zane makes a beeline for the fridge every time it is opened.
I think he just is so curious to see what is in there.

Zane loves playing with his spoons. He always seems to end
up just like this. I think it is too cute.

Check out those teeth. There are two on the top
to go with these two you see.

After bathtime, Zane enjoys being wrapped up like a papoose.
I guess I would too after coming out of a warm bath!

Although he is not up and going on his own yet, Zane is certainly
getting ready to walk on his own. He loves pitter-pattering around the house.

And this is one of my new favorite pictures of Zane.
All that hair spiked up when we wash it. Time for a haircut!

Out on the Pontoon Boat

2007-08-26T17:40:00.000-04:00

Last weekend we went with three other couples to the lake. We rented one of those party barge/pontoon things and spent the day in the sun. We stopped and got out in the lake several times to swim. Zane did really great! He was not too sure about the big life vest he had to wear. Other than not really liking that, he was wonderful. He slept well, ate well, played well, and enjoyed the water as much as the big folks did.

LIfe's Little Moments

2007-08-17T10:40:00.000-04:00

Here are a few more fun moments of life with Zane. We just love watching him find humor in the little things, try new things, learn to do more, and just live life to the fullest. What an example for the rest of us that have forgotten to just joy in the little things in life.

Here Zane enjoys standing up on his own. He is just so proud of himself when he pulls up without any help. He still loves to have us walk him around, as you will see in the video. He loves exploring new things (like the hanger in the video). He is learning to eat new things. It takes a few tries sometimes. In the video it was avocados that he was trying for the first time. We weren't so sure about them at first, but now they are a favorite. Zane is getting around into everything. He loves finding new things to touch and explore. One day I found him under the clothes hamper. He was just having a ball! Our absolute favorite thing to do is chase Bear, our dog, around. Zane usually is not quick enough to catch Bear unless he sneaks up on him while Bear is sleeping. But with Daddy's help, chasing Bear has all new meaning!

Maybe we can take a lesson from Zane and begin enjoying the little things in life again.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

2007-07-26T12:32:00.000-04:00

Zane went to his first ballgame a few weeks ago. At first he seemed to be curious and was watching everything. But it did not take long for him to get a little bored with hanging out in the same spot so long. Mike and I have decided that if we want to WATCH the game, we might better go alone for the next little while. But knowing Daddy, it won't be long before Zane knows all the ins and outs of baseball. Go Stros! Or in this case - go Louisville Bats!

Learning New Things

2007-07-19T09:41:00.000-04:00

Although he is not up on his feet yet, Zane is definitely
making his way around to where ever he wants to go.
He is really keeping Mom and Dad busy!

Zane has also figured out how to use those little fingers to
pick up things. He has started finger foods and
just loves them. It will be fun to experiment
with different kinds of new foods and see what he thinks.

Fun and Games

2007-07-18T12:13:00.000-04:00

Here are a few shots of Zane's playtime.

First time swinging at the park

Too many toys to choose from!

As seen below, I guess it all depends on your definition of "toy".

The ever-popular tupperware or...

the Cheerios box

Fathers, friends and funnies

2007-06-24T18:05:00.000-04:00

Zane and Mommy wanted to give Daddy
a special one-of-a-kind father's day present.
Mommy and Zane went to one of those
paint-your-own-pottery places and made
Daddy a coffee mug with Zane's hand
and foot print on it. We had a great time
making it. Now Daddy can think of Zane
every time he has coffee at work!

Zane and Bear have really hit it off.
Zane loves to watch Bear and try to grab his hair.
Bear loves to lick all over Zane's hands and feet.
However, Bear is quickly learning not to get too
close to Zane's hands. Zane has gotten quite
a good pull of Bear's hair once or twice.

As you can tell, eating is still quite a messy event.
Mommy usually has to clean Zane up pretty
well after we eat. Zane does not really like
the clean up part. Especially when Mom has
to clean squash out of his nose!

I found out that I can now upload short video clips.
Here is my first attempt to do that. However,
I did not know that if I held the camera sideways,
the video would be sideways also. I cannot figure out
how to rotate it. So, I hope you can just cock your neck
to the side and enjoy. I will do better on the filming
part in the future.

This is a short video of Zane's new favorite activity.
He loves to walk (with assistance). He does not seem
too interested in crawling, although he is beginning
to scoot with his toes. But he ALWAYS wants to
walk around. We have probably walked miles around
our little apartment. He even gets mad when
we sit him down for a break.

Summer Fun

2007-06-08T12:42:00.002-04:00

Summer is here and with the warmer weather comes ... swimming! We took Zane swimming for the first time last week. He was a little apprehensive at first, but then seemed to get into it. The second day he fussed a little at first because the water was colder. However, I think that it won't be too long before we have quite a little water baby. He also enjoyed playing in the pool with his friend Caleb.

Summertime is also a great time for taking walks. Apparently, this walk was a little long for Zane. He crashed about halfway home. Doesn't he look so precious?

As many of you know, Mike was able take a trip to South Asia. We have a few pictures of that trip, but the camera battery died fairly quickly. We will be getting a CD with all the pictures that were taken. Hopefully Mike will be in some of those. We will post more of those as we get them. The trip was very nice. Mike said they were able to lay some good ground work for future work. Unfortunately, he did not have as much opportunity to share with people as he would have liked to. As you can tell, the place was beautiful! Mike said he was more relaxed while he was there than he has been in almost a year. The last picture is of a cultural drum ceremony that they American visitors were honored with. I am sure Mike will type an update email with more details. But for now, you can enjoy some pics from the trip.

This past Sunday we had a baby dedication at church. Here is a pic from that. We were nervous that Zane would get in front of the church and fuss. He was tired and it was his lunch time. But no doing! Zane was great. As if we had anything to worry about!

We are beginning to want to be mobile. Zane has no interest in trying to crawl. He never has liked being on his tummy. However, he LOVES to take our hands and walk all around the place. He wears us out! He likes chasing Bear, our dog. It makes it even more fun because Bear wanders away from Zane as he is coming, so Zane just keeps walking around and around following him. I guess we are getting our exercise this way!

Out and About

2007-05-24T21:44:00.000-04:00

Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you know that we are out of town this week, so I hope to get some new pics up next week. Mike is on a trip to South Asia. Zane and I came home to see all of the grandparents. We are having a nice visit, but Zane is feeling poorly. Please pray for him to get well. Also please continue praying for Mike while he is out of the country. We will update the blog with news and pictures from both of our trips when we can. Love to all!

Growing up too fast

2007-05-11T13:13:00.000-04:00

Great news! Mike has finished this
semester. He is so much more
relaxed. Now he can better enjoy
being a daddy. Thanks for
praying for him!

Several weeks ago Zane found his toes
and loves to taste them.
I am sure he would let you taste
them if you wanted to!

We have been trying very hard to
get Zane to drink his juice from a
sippy cup. This was the second or third
one that we tried. We finally
found a winner (Thanks Aunt Kelly).
This was not the winner, but it
sure is cute picture!

A few weeks ago Zane mastered sitting up.
I wonder if things look different to him from this angle.
My he looks like such a big boy!

Daddy said that there are no pictures
of Mommy on the blog. (That was just
fine with Mom.) He wanted some of
Zane and Mommy too. So, here it is.

Zane was starting to look a little rough.
His hair was so long it was hanging
in his eyes. So, a haircut was in order.
Daddy did the honors. Now as you can
tell below, Zane looks like his daddy.

How we fill our days

2007-04-30T16:51:00.000-04:00

Thank you for praying for Mike to
end the semester well. He is catching up
on lots of school work. All of his papers
are finished and he only has reading and
studying left. Praise the Lord! One of his
final exams was canceled, so now he has
even more time to catch up.

Now that the weather is turning warmer,
Mike enjoys sitting outside to do his reading
and studying. Zane really enjoys being outside
also. He is going to be a real outdoor guy!

As much as we try to avoid it,
Zane loves watching TV. Here he is
turning halfway around in his
swing straining to watch TV.
We much prefer for him to
read his books like the picture below.

Just thought we would leave you
with a big smooch from Zane.

Please lift Mike up

2007-04-20T08:49:00.000-04:00

As you can obviously tell, most of the postings on this blog will be devoted to Zane. We want family and friends to be able to keep up with how he is doing. However, it is also so you guys can keep up with us. Today, I just wanted to ask that when you read this, you would whisper a little prayer for Mike. He is in the last 2-3 weeks of the semester. He still has about 6 weeks worth of work to do and very little time to get it done. He is a bit stressed and is way tired. Please lift him up and ask that he finish well. Ask God to help him find the time needed to complete the assignments and study for the finals. Also ask that his attitude during this hectic time would be honoring to God. Thanks for standing in the gap for us!

Fun times

2007-04-16T19:38:00.000-04:00

God has blessed me with some friends
to play with. I love having playdates
with them. Above is Caleb and me.
Below is me with Seth and Hannah.

It's the smile that keeps me out of
trouble. I mean, how can anyone stay
mad at me when they see this
big toothless grin.

Daddy just loves me in my camo.
He can't wait to get me out in the woods
and on the 4-wheeler. Now we just need
to get back to a place that has some woods!

Here is Zane is his big boy chair. He is
learning to sit in it to eat. However, he still
hunkers down a little too much. Makes
for some messy eating!

Visiting with Aunt Karen and family

This week Zane took his first plane trip. Marcy and Zane went to visit her sister in North Carolina. We surprised Mamaw who was also there for a visit. Zane did great on the plane - even when we had to sit on the tarmac for 2 1/2 hours. Unfortunately, Mike did not get to join us. He had to stay behind and work and try to catch up on some school stuff. It was difficult for Mike to be away from Zane for the first time, but he made it. It was nice to be back home together as a family.

We hope you visit us often to see what is happening with the Houstons. Please add your comments. We would love to hear feedback from you.
