Random thoughts

Yes, yes, yes, I've been wanting to blog for several days.. but for some reason cannot upload a picture. I tried to use my dad's computer when he was here, but to no avail. So I'll blog without pictures. Anyone have a clue?

We celebrated Isaac's 5th birthday! My baby, my first born is FIVE YEARS old... They say that the first 5 years of a persons's life determines the path they will go. Oh Father, I pray we have lead Him on your path. He is such a joy. He wanted a Happy Feet birthday, so we had penguin races (tying their ankles together and running to the freezing cold water to retreive a fish with their mouths) Happy Feet Cake and Ice Cream. It was sweet. Oh to be 5 again. His big thing now is to save his money (in his wallet like his daddy, however, sad to say, Isaac has more cash than his daddy). He's saving his money to buy a big Light-Saber "life-saver" is what he calls it. (it's peer pressure, a friend at church has one, and he just HAS to have one.) So we've started a chore chart in order to earn an allowance. We are really trying to teach giving to God first, then savings, AND THEN buy what you want. We'll see if it sticks!

My middle baby (Rhea) is 31/2. She's become a little bossy. Just wondering if this is a girl thing or middle child thing? She is very influential and sad to say she's picking up my bad habits. I heard her say a few days ago to her baby dolls "UGH, You are driving me CRAZY!" I wonder where she heard that :) I have heard on the other hand pray for someone without being prompted to, and she randomly tells people she loves them (friends, teachers, family) She's a firecracker...but I wouldn't change her a bit!

Abby is Abby. 8 mos....CONSTANTLY moving. I swear that girl has more energy than all of us put together. She is on the move always. Even when she is sleeping, her foot is rocking or she's going to town on her pacifier. She is the happiest thing I've ever seen and I can't imagine our family without her!

We finally sold it... Yep, we've got a contract on the house and close in 22 days. We are so glad, but know it's going to be an exhausting process. We've made a bid on a house and just pray everything goes perfectly. We are excited to be closer to civilization, have a little more room, and to go through and organize all of our stuff! Pray for us!

Just blessing after blessing. WE praise God for all the glorious riches He's given us....we don't deserve a one! Happy Blogging!
