Family at Disneyland

On May 24, the children and I took a trip to Disneyland with Mama, Aunt
Brianna, cousin Olivia, Uncle Isaac, Aunt Cathy, cousin Ezekiel,
Great-Aunt Cindy, and Great-Aunt Tunie.

Joshua worked on his pin collection.

The fun thing about going to Disneyland with great-aunts is that they buy lots
of goodies!

teeth missing it is hard.

The ride scared Lucille, so she put her cosy over her head and fell asleep.

An Expectation. A Blessing

Lord willing, our family will be blessed with a new baby by the end of the year. Our little one's due date is December 20, 2011. Your prayers are coveted for a healthy, safe arrival of this blessing.

The Frustrating Thing About Laundry

I am trying to catch up on laundry as I get ready for our upcoming vacation. The frustrating thing about laundry is that unless I stripped the beds of their linens and the entire family of clothing, laundry is never done. Of course this is nothing new.

I guess I can change that from a woe to a sign of blessing. I have been blessed with beautiful children, a loving husband, and a nice home. I remind myself of that as I do housework. I also try to remember and strive towards the model of the Proverbs 31 woman.

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

Proverbs 31:10, 27-28

Lucy is Feeling Better!

Praises to God! Our little Lucille is on the road to recovery! Lucille has been able to hold her food down for a full 24 hours and she woke up this morning with a smile for the first time in a week. She has been playing all morning, singing & talking. She has her spunk back! Now she just has to regain her strength and the weight she lost.

Here is a video I took of her on March 9th. Lord willing she will be back to this spunky girl by the end of the week.

Foto Friday

Don't pass out...Here is the first Foto Friday post in over a year. So as not to overwhelm you, I decided to keep it simple.

I recently found my three monsters on the couch like this. Joshua is reading Frog and Toad to Mercy and Lucille. I love being a mommy. I love being their mommy.

More Coming Soon....

Thought I would try blogging again
But I am busy this week with a sick little one. Lucille has a stomache bug.
Since Monday.
She hasn't been able to keep any food down. And today she has been crying/moaning most of the day.
But homeschooling is done.
Corned beef is cooking.
Life goes on anyhow.
God is still good.
