Christmas Photo or Maybe not...

Who would have thought it would be so difficult to get an okay picture of five kids!These are the only two out of about 40 that were even a little presentable! I guess next year we are going to have to start trying earlier, say Thanksgiving!

A Prayer for the Moms who have lost so much...

I pray for all of you and can not begin to imagine the pain grief you must feel. I pray you find peace in your hearts and God in your souls.

Saturday's Events

Today (Saturday – I am still on Saturday, even though technically it is Sunday) we brought the girls for haircuts. They did such a great job staying still and it is great to see more of their faces again instead of all that hair! Sean came into the salon with us (Jason, Connor & Kyle were happy to wait in the car and munch on crackers). Sean was surprised how much different the salon was from his barber shop. His comment was “Wow, it is loud in here with all this talking and it smells!” what can you say to that he was right… Haircuts were followed up by a trip to the donut shop and then onto Wal-Mart for the usual supplies: laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, TP, diapers, etc. After Wal-Mart we headed over to Islands for lunch. Lunch went pretty smoothly with the exception of Sean & Connor picking on each other most of the time. We made it through the whole meal without spilling anything! After lunch it was time to head home for naps. Jason and I starting watching The Bounty, I made it about half way through it before I felt sick and needed to go rest. Resting led to a two hour nap with Kyle, refreshing. Kerry came in talking about the Festival of Lights, she was so excited. She kept talking about the tunnel of lights. So, then it was off to the Del Mar race track to see all the lights. It was a lot of fun and all the kids really enjoyed it. It was not as good as last year, in my opinion, but still fun. It was such a warm night; it had to be in the high 60’s so we decided to take the kids over to Carvel for ice cream. We came home and watched Rudolph the Red- nosed Reindeer. The boys were the first to fall asleep, of course. It is great to see the children enjoying the same movies I did as a child. Only difference was I had to wait until they were played on TV, the kids have the luxury of DVDs! With all the kids tucked in bed it was time to start working…. This of course at this time of night leads to sleep. I awoke around 1:00am with stomach pains and haven’t been able to get back to sleep. The baby is very active now and that makes sleep difficult as well. I also have had horrible acid reflux this pregnancy and Tums are not working this pregnancy. They actually make me vomit, but that is no surprise – this pregnancy everything makes me vomit unless it is precluded by an ice cream cone or milkshake! That is about it for today; tomorrow is another day and will be here soon.

The beginning...

I am writing this blog as a family journal of sorts. I was always one to keep journals and other souvenirs for remembering later on. I miss those days and am hoping I am find the time to do it this way since the old way is impossible, seeing as we can’t seem to keep a pen in this house!
