Fall goodness



Hmmm...I have NEW pictures to post but unfortunately, can't find my thingy to put them in the computer.  Next time!!  Up there are some semi-oldies, but goodies.

Life with our little people has been racing by at an unbelievable pace.  We have a new sweet baby girl who I will formally introduce (pictures and all!) at a later date.  Life for me pretty much consists of nursing, watching little miss Lizzy smile and coo, reading to the boys, kissing the twin's owies, and watching House with my man at night. (courtesy of movies in the mail!)

Fall has been wonderful.  I can't believe Jay is already a second grader.  Homeschooling him has been a joy, especially during this, my favorite, season.  We get to read about Pocahontas, the Pilgrims, Columbus, Squanto. . . we just love it.  Fall inevitably makes me feel cozy and desirous of hot apple cider and pumpkin bread.  I also love that we don't have to have dry, brown grass anymore. (We don't really water the yard too much..oops) The rain and heavy dew naturally makes the yard look oh so beautiful and lush like a jungle--kind of.  I at least pretend it's as deep green and rich like the grass in Uganda.

Baby Prayers

I or Aaron normally pray with the babies as they are going to bed, but just the other night I asked Adam and Shannon to pray--just to see what they'd say.
Here was Adam's prayer: "Jesus, tank you Mommy, Daddy, tank you boys, Eli and Mommy, Eli/Mommy, Jay/Mommy, Eli and Mommy, tank you, Am-EN!"
Here was Shannon's: "Jesus (insert short pause), Am-EN!"
Priceless.

Daddy/Daughter Date!



Shannon got to spend some special one-on-one time with her Daddy recently. Getting to drive in "daddy's car" is always a special treat and I think Shannon felt quite grown up, especially when she entered the house toting a slurpee from 7 Eleven almost as big as her body. All 3 boys took quite an interest in her special drink and were quick to offer their services if she found herself needing any help finishing. Am I raising some gentlemen or what?
