Lauren-Lulu

Ok, so here is the update on our little girl. She is SO FUNNY. We are laughing at things she says and does all of the time. She loves to sing and can sing just about anything she hears once. The latest funny is her pronunciation of Halleluia.(May not be as funny as my spelling) She sings Hale woo a, and she says it three times really fast. She is always up to something. We laughed when we found piggy this way. I think it was a case of really bad diaper rash!

She loves all the girl stuff like makeup and baby dolls. She is fascinated with Cinderella even though she has never seen the movie. We love to watch all the new things she learns about. She gives away lots of love! She will come up to me when I am busy and hug and kiss me and say "I love you too Mama." How sweet is that???!!!

She loves her brothers especially Ethan. He plays with her alot and doesn't aggrivate like Aaron. Aaron loves to hear her squeal so he takes her stuff and runs so she will chase him. Sounds like a lot of fun at this house huh?

Oh Fudge!

This weekend we had the opportunity to keep Fudge-the 4th grade classroom pet. Fudge is a guinea pig. He has had a good time at our house this weekend. He has enjoyed lots of good lettuce and lots of noise. He is a little nervous when we let him out of his cage because of all the activity here. He mostly makes happy gurgle sounds. He did let us hear his shreak today when we were cleaning his cage. I think he just wanted back in to get some of the fresh lettuce we put in there. The kids have just loved watching him and petting him and introducing him to our kitten-at a safe distance of course. So I couldn't resist posting some pictures of our weekend guest.

Long Time--No Blog

I know, it has been awhile since I have updated. Honestly, I have been a little frustrated with this blog because I can't caption my pictures. I acutally did a post about Lauren but when I published it, pictures where everywhere! So, in my frustration, I just deleted it. I hope this gets easier.
Things are good here. The action never stops unless we are all asleep. All of my children are well. Can I just say that again??? WE ARE ALL WELL!!!! Thank you God for good health. The boys are in school- not loving it but they are there doing their work. Brendan just got his report card with all a's. Ethan and Aaron aren't really receiving letter grades. Lauren has been helping me and Meme renovate the office. We are actually moving everything from the old office to the one that has been used for storage because it is much bigger. Imagine 9 years worth of storage from three or more families. Well, we cleaned all of that out, removed all the traces of the "critters" that had moved in, and put a fresh coat of paint( well, actually 2 coats) on all of the walls. As we were cleaning the baseboards, someone suggested that we get new ones so that is our next step. Today the carpet is being steam cleaned so we got a little break from the project. I haven't been at home much during the day and if you walked in the house, you could really tell. Today, will be cleaning day. The boys will be so excited :) I will try to keep up with my blog and work on that post about Lauren, again. Please comment and let us know what's up!
