Hi Barb! How's work going? (Barb works night shifts and checks blogs several times during each shift, unfortunately nobody posts new posts in the middle of the night) This is a post just for you! I've been thinking about you lots lately and praying every time I think of you. Blessings to you! Thanks for loving my kids (and me) by volunteering in the toddler room. We appreciate you!!
Tyler and Riley have fun playing with Zach and Owen. Yesterday we played "girls vs. boys" football. The girls were Erin (Owen's Mom) and I. The boys were Tyler, Zach, Riley and Owen. It was really fun. As you can tell from this picture I played quite well. I had all 3 balls!!!! I figure that I don't have very much time where this will get to happen in my life (having all of the footballs that is - I'm sure there will be many more football games).
People often ask me if I wish that I had a girl, or they say things like "I bet you were trying for a girl" or "So, are going to try for one more to see if you are successful this time?". Here is my answer for all of those questions, "NO! I love my boys and I think that we were pretty successful the last three attempts, can you see my three beautiful blessings?" I feel so blessed with these gifts that God has given us!
Tyler turned 4 on December 31 and we had a little party for him. His friends Owen and Zach joined us for swimming and lunch. It was fun and I forgot to post pictures so here are a few, sorry that they're so late.
My parents took the older two boys to their place this last weekend. Boy, one baby is soooooooooo easy! Thanks so much Mom and Dad for the little break for the boys and us, we all enjoyed the weekend!
Just thought I'd let you know that we just completed our very first super-successful family nap time!!! (Well, Cory's in class. . . ) The boys and I each slept for at least 2 hours at the same time. We all plan on doing this trick several times every week.
