Birthday Party Fun

Just updated our home page main photo.
We had a great time at Josiah's 1yr old party. He has a talented uncle that took these:

Manners are important!

Lovin it!

Tied up on teaching Tuesday

So apparently I have not kept up with the videos.  However I seemed to have picked it back up again.  NO promises on weekly posts though.

Here Adeline had just told Essie.  “Come here sweetie, let me help you with that”.  We were making muffins and all had on our aprons.  Thank you Annie for them!  Esther loves her jacket and wears it frequently.  Please trust we don’t keep it below zero in our home.  Thought that may be evident related to Adeline mostly wearing shorts and tanks all winter long.  Sorry… here is the video :)

Essie injured but just fine

So another day another injury for Essie.  I just yesterday talked with Jill about transitioning out of the crib.  She decided to climb out of her crib and boom there it is a big ole goose egg.  Martha to the rescue arrived for support.  Joel helped me focus once I started watching the goose egg grow… that was pretty freaky to see it happening before your eyes.  Peds after hours was great of course and gave great directions on when to call back (if there was real trouble). [In a tone similar to that Old Spice commercial] and back to Martha…special thanks for company and taking care of all us girls this evening.  Couldn’t do it without you!

This profile pic looks really gross when you can see it protruing.  And Joel it wasn’t anywhere to this level when I called you.

So you might be asking… where is the little one sleeping.  In a big girl bed.  Due to Peds After Hours directions she went without a nap and just made it to 7pm.  Then she fell as sleep in my arms and went straight to Adeline’s twin bed (after I had put the side rail up, that I had just taken down last week).  Ahh!  hopefully we will have a good night.  We have lots of prayers covering us and I am thankful for that.  Thank you God for your provision of this being something minor.  Isn’t she cute.  I think she is going to wear lavender to morrow so her outfit and bruise will match… and then in a couple days a nice yellow.  Hmm… maybe they should make a line of clothing that is like bruise camo (purple, yellow, green).  I think it would sell better for boys, but my Essie would have at least one outfit.

Adeline Sings

So last night at Wednesday night church Adeline sang!  Warning… spoiler… she keeps her dress down!  yeah! 

quick cuties

Here is a picture of Essie at 19 months:


Here is Adeline being super cool holding a stuffed bear that was Bryan's when he was young (really until we got married - just kidding!)
