I am back, for a short time anyway!

Well, it has been awile. Really no good excuse. Partly because our computer crashed for awhile, then we lost internet for awhile, and then, maybe just laziness. So to update you here are a few things that have happened. Since our hunting trip, we found out we are adding another baby to the clan, and the arrival date will be the end of June sometime. I had 3 turn another year older. So we now have ages 15, 13, 11, 9 (in six days that will be 10), 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 13 months in our home. We are enjoying the return of spring because the last 6 weeks we have been batteling some form of illness in our home. Dad has been spared so far. He has been very helpful helping me take care of the sick ones in the overnight hour. Being seven months pregnant does not help my stamina! And with the exception of a trip to Grandma and Grandpa's out of town and some to The Grandparents in town, that is about all. Hopefully, there will be fewer days in between from one blog to the next. Have a happy spring!

Memories of Christmas

Baby's 1st Christmas

All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth

Stockings at Grandma's house

Birthday AND Christmas, how fun!

These are my(Adria's!) Guinea's, Bindi and Bella. I took their Christmas pictures today, I hope you enjoy them!

Bindi loved to hide in the toe of the stocking!

Bella just sat there..for a very long time-she's my lazy girl!

They're both checking out all the new stuff!(Their eyes are a creepy color in some of these, I tried to fix it but it made them even more green-sorry about that!)

First snow of the year

T~Ten 'A' named kids

Today, and the whole year through, think upon things that are good, lovely and pure. Have an attitude of gratidude and remember, we can all think of something to complain about, it takes a special thought process to be content! Make sure you have thankfulness from the inside out, that is how true joy in the life Jesus has given you is found!
