SHHHH! Don't tell Edi.

We went for a ride in the yard while she took a nap. She is still not feeling well but we are all slowly feeling better :) YAY!

...joy runs deeper than despair.

Tummy Bugs

NO blogging until all 4 kiddos are up and running.

4 stomach bugs + 4 little kiddos
= Lots and lots of vomit, lots of laundry,
and 2 very tired parents.

New Shoes

Thank you to Grandma for getting us new shoes! We love you!

Oh and we are soooo glad that adventure is over. It took quite a bit of time getting everyone measured and finding "Mommy Approved" shoes. By this I mean all white that will go with EVERYTHING. We did find them at Rack Room Shoe Outlet store. Buy one get one half off!! They also were nice enough to give us two $10 off coupons. Yippee!! I guess we looked a little needy sitting on the floor trying on all the shoes and making sure they all fit. Thank Goodness we will not have to do this again for at least a little while!!!

How many joys are crushed underfoot because people look up at the sky and disregard what is at their feet.

We Love you Both. Thanks for coming to visit us, we MISS you MORE than you know!

He Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give up nor leave you without support.

Hebrews 13:5

If you're Happy and you know it...

Thank Goodness. Here come the 60s and the 70s. Maybe we can finally leave our house without jackets and hats on!!!!

Sean, Henry, Sophia, and Edith singing, "If your happy and you know it".

We have to have the HAPPIEST kids ever. They are always smiling.

But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.

Psalms 68:3

We love Papaw

Thank goodness for my Dad. He visited us from Indiana for a few days and Henry wouldn't leave his side. It was soooo sweet. He visited last month and it was Sophia that was on his lap the whole time. It is funny how the kiddos are all so very different.

It's COLD outside!

Ok, so...we moved to southern Alabama because we thought it would be warm here all winter long, right?? Wrong!! It is COLD. All the people down here are saying it is the coldest winter they have had in a long time. Yuck! I pictured a great winter with averages in the 60's, well...that is not what we are experiencing. We are stuck inside because it is too cold and damp to have the kids out for any length of time. We do have a occasionally warm day but mostly it is pretty chilly. :( So... we are spending A LOT of time inside.

Sean, Henry, Sophia, and Edith watching "The Wiggles" on television.

This is their very favorite show!

Henry and Sophia destroying the playroom.

Henry dumping all the toy baskets out and stacking them together. Edi looking at mommy to see if she is going to yell at Henry for dumping all the toys on the floor.

We are hoping for warm sunny days to come very soon. In the meantime we will watch "The Wiggles" everyday and try to get out some of our bottled out energy. Afterall they know all the moves to the dances. It's quite adorable to watch. When I pick up the video they all start yelling, "Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack". You gotta love those guys! ;)

Unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
