Overheard

This was a little conversation that I overheard between Rachel (5) and Adam (4) today...

Adam: "Rachel, last night I dreamt that a mouse came in and bit my head off!"

Rachel: "I did, too!"

Wow what are the chances of that?

Barb crocheted each of the kids a little baby blanket. Here Rachel sports the more grown up look for the blankies.


Abby loves to play with this headband, it makes her look too old.


Abby has to be confined to her pack and play while the other kids get their baths. Thomas felt sorry for her and wanted to keep her company.


They are just hanging out on the toy box waiting to go to bed.

Snow Angels

After helping daddy shovel on New Year's Day, the kids had a good time rolling around in the snow. It really was beautiful, but it made for some worries around here with Jenny and Josh traveling that day. So glad they didn't have any problems getting to their destination. Once again God answers prayer.

He has a name!

Laurie already posted this today, but I'll mention it too because I'm so excited! Sarah and Kyle named the baby Liam James. :) James is Tommy's middle name, too!

Update

I just talked to Maude! She said that baby boy weighed 8lbs. and 14.25 ounces and was 21.25 inches long! That's a big baby- especially when it's your first! Laurie was right- they are waiting a day or so to announce the name. I can't stand the suspense!

My sister-in-law Jen who has been so sick with her pregnancy actually ate a cheeseburger yesterday after she left the hospital! That made my brother very happy. She goes back to the doctor today, they are going to do an ultrasound this time. Keep praying!

What's His Name?

Casey's mom called about 11:40 last night to tell us the baby finally made his way into the world! She had not been in the room yet, but from down the hall she could hear Kyle coaching Sarah all the way! We are just waiting for the details now...

People on my mind

First off, my sister-in-law Sarah was to be induced this morning at 7:30 am. We haven't heard a thing so I am starting to worry now. I hope she doesn't take after her mother and have to have a c-section.

My brother's wife Jen is 2 months pregnant and extremely sick. He took her to the hospital today because she hasn't been able to eat or drink anything. They put a couple IV bags into her to get her re-hydrated and also gave her some anti-nausea meds and sent them on their way. She was sick the entire time she was pregnant with the twins, so I really pray that this passes quickly.

So if you think to pray for these gals in my life it would be appreciated!
