First visit with Great-Uncle Joe

My mom came down, Yay, and we decided to take a little roadtrip to see her brother Joe. He lives a little further North than we do. He hasn't seen the kids EVER. It was so fun to see him and let him meet the kiddos.

Sean, Daddy, and Henry on the floor.

Great-Uncle Joe, Sean, and Edith. As you can see there was A LOT of interesting things for the kids to look at and try to touch. It was a bit of a chore to keep their tiny curious hand to themselves.

Sean, Edith, and Henry on the floor AGAIN. They were facinated with the floor. I guess because of the design, they kept touching it and lying on it.

His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Daddy was off work today so we got to get out of the house. Yippee!! It was a warm 60 degrees and super sunny, as you can see by the brightness of the photos. It was a great day. We spent the morning walking at the beach and then we had lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant! Daddy, Edi, Sean, Henry, and Sophia at the beach.

Happy Valentine's Day! We had a perfect day celebrating our LOVE for our family. It could not have been better. The kids are getting easier and easier and we are really starting to be able to enjoy and cherish every moment!!!

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE.

1 Corinthians 13:13

How time flies!

Sorry it has been so long since I updated. The kids now have their third cold in three months. The doctor said to keep them out of the church nursery! We had never put them in the nursery until recently and since then they have been sick every month. Just a little cold though nothing serious. However mommy and grandma are drowning in snot!!! YUCK!

Daddy's new job is a lot of hours, but grandma came to visit just in time for this latest cold outbreak and the Super Bowl of course. We are COLTS fans down here in the middle of a bunch of New Orleans fan. You cannot find anything Colts anywhere down here. Very weird for us!!

We are hoping the weather stays sunny so we can get outside today or tomorrow.

God is good all the time.
All the time God is Good!!!!

Still livin' by FAITH

I remember the day that we found out we were having four babies. My husband, mother, and aunt all crowded into a very small office. The ultrasound technician started the search and there they were plain for all to see, four little circles. The look on that poor ladies face was a look of terror. She softly spoke, "Let me tell you what we are looking at here." Well...we did not need to be told we knew, there was NO question. I laughed nervously and my poor hubby turned a very pale shade of white. I am really not sure how my mom and aunt reacted actually at this point I cannot remember.

ANYWAY...

Since that day, well and even before when we were so desperately praying for a family, we have always held on to our FAITH.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1

It was our dearest prayer that our children would be born healthy. What an amazing God we serve, He heard our prayers and he gave us four healthy awsome children.

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as the mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Matthew 19:20

Go Colts beat the Jets!

Go BLUE!

Go Indianapolis Colts, We love you!

Everyone HUDDLE up.

Ok guys...what's our stategy?

I know, we don't need a football to play, Sean's got some of the dog toys!

Go long Sophia.


Edi run she's gaining on you!!!





Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks for everything in the name of the our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:19-20

Is is getting warm in here?

The last time we went to the beach this is what it was like we were all bundled up! It was soooo cold. This afternoon we are going and it will be a sunny 70 degrees. I love Southern Alabama!

Henry, Sean, Edith, and Sophia

The kids love to go and walk along the boardwalk. They love the attention from all the people that stop and talk to us but most of all they love the birds. There have been a few times though when Daddy decided to feed the birds. BIG MISTAKE! Apparently they are more hungary in the winter when there are fewer tourists to feed them. Who knew?

Is there a more beautiful place?

I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.

Psalm 9:1
