Family 2007 Pictures

_________________________________________________________________

We watched the Veggie Tale movie, "Moe and the Big Exit" The children enjoyed it and the older three are claiming to be the lone stranger. I tought with matching hats it was picture time but this is the best out of five. Have you ever tried to get a picture of four children under six. As you can see Josiah's hat kept falling off so big brother is proudly holding it on.

Life is good, enjoying my little gifts from God. At least most of the time. Isaac is developing one of those disrespectful attitudes ocassionaly, trying to squelch that before it goes too far. Needing to figure out how I can reach his mind and heart on that one.

They say a picture says a thousand words. Well I think these express our time at the water park on Saturday very well. We were there from 10 am - 7pm. The children had a blast and I had a blast watching them have a blast. Great family memories.

Bringing you up to date

It has been a while since I have blogged. I guess it wasn't meeting my need of feeling connected. As well as all the other things that have kept me busy. Anyway here are some recent pictures of my little blessings. Life goes on, the children continue to grow. My biggest struggle is still living with the blessing of today and the pain of my childhood. My life today is great. Loving my husband and children. Homeschooling is going great, I love watching them grow and learn. Both Isaac and Hannah are reading now. They are such a great blessing.

I am still rooting for one more little angel in our home, Larry still not sure. My heart is aching for the pregnancy thing again. Having to put it into God's hands hourly. Praying that He will show us His will.

The broken heart is still here too. Been a hard week feeling very alone. Think that the drains of motherhood triggering a little. Been longing for a mom. Feeling overwhelmed with the house work. Before every child I have said I want to get things organized, well there is still so much to organize. But then again this is an organization addict speaking. Need to keep telling myself to relax. It is not going to help anyone if I let the stress of housework pull me into a depression. I do the best I can for today and start tommorow new.

That has been so important for me as a mother, wife, housekeeper to do the best I can today and start new tommorow.

Well that is a quick update of my life, will try to do better at the blog thing.
