Finaly We Have Pictures!

I know it's about time. Can you believe that I was waiting to find a connection and then I remembered that my computer has a card reader! DUH!!

So, here are the kids in front of the house back in November. We had just gotten home from church.

Here is "B" in her cute little hat. Daddy can't stand it! But I think she looks so cute.

And here she is in her Colorado Avalanche sweats. Can you tell which hockey team we like?

Here is "K" taking pictures in the front yard. We really needed a new one for the wall so we got this one to replace her newborn one. Yes it is about time.

Me, B, J, K, L (on Zan), and D.

And here is the best family picture we could get together. We are starring into the sun- (insert eye rolling emotion here!) But it works!

And if I don't see you- Merry Christmas!!

Birthdays and Births

"B" joined us this Aug, on her Uncle "M"'s birthday. She is doing well and is loved much by her siblings. It has been fun watching them with her. "K", "L", and "J" have all had their birthdays amd are a year older. The boys are in school and keeping us running. Tomorrow I will add pictures of all the events. Stay tuned......

So many changes

So it's been a while. I know, I know. So I'm back. I promise that I will try harder this time. We made a big move to a new state and also found out we are adding a little bundle to our household. Dad's birthday has come and gone and I felt somewhat lost. I wasn't sure if I should call mom and talk to her about him, or just think about him alone. I decided alone might be best. I miss him a ton, and am so sad when the boys ask questions about him. "J" seems to be thinking about him a lot lately. He asked me questions about why it happened and if he is okay now. I'm so glad I know that he is okay and that I can use moments like that one to tells the boys how I know it to be okay. Whenever I put things together it makes me think of him, and that is good. I loved when we would make projects. It was the highlight of the year, or month, or even week. I think about his funeral and hope that people that were there left knowing how much dad was loved and how much dad loved to serve others. I sometimes wonder if any of those will want to know how we were able to tell dad goodbye without so much sadness. I was so glad that people were able to laugh during the life-sketch. Dad live a one of a kind life, and I can only hope to live as good as he did. I realize that this is short but homework and house cleaning is calling my name.
