Jeff's flying

Just wanted to let people know that Jeff is flying tomorrow. He will return on Thursday evening. Pray for a safe flight. Pray for the missionaries as there is a lot of flooding with all of the hurricanes. I will post some pics later.

Pretty blue eyes.....We hope they stay that way!!!

Summer Fun

My Little Mermaid

A few weeks ago, I was showing my girl friends the Little Mermaid outfit that I bought for this Halloween on sale at the end of the season last year. Macayla yesterday asked to wear it. I said sure. Little did I know that she would want to wear it all day long. She would take it off periodically, but after a few minutes she would ask to put it on again. The entire day she was dressed like Ariel one of her favorite princesses. I guess you could say that she is definitely all girl.

We also spent some time painting. Macayla with finger paints and Jeff and I on our mural. I will post it when we are finished.

Cute Kids

First Time

Well this is new for me this blogging thing. But I will give it a try. I have been wanting to sit down for almost a week now and try to blog, but I guess that shows me what life is like right now. Having an infant in the house is a lot of work. You would think that they sleep a lot but at the end of the day most days I feel like nothing was accomplished except feeding kids, burping a baby, changing diapers, putting kids in naps, and maybe spend some time actually playing with them. Boy that was a long sentence.

As we speak Mariah is fussing and wanting my attention. She rolled over again and can't figure out how she got there.

Although life seems hectic, I am still enjoying being able to watch all of these stages first hand. I even thought today that Macayla and Mariah won't remember all of this time that we spent together, but I on the other hand will remember every moment (our so I hope). I try to stop and enjoy the little things, like Macayla singing the "run away" song (Where is thumbkin). She was singing almost every line to the song, and in that moment I tried to cement this memory into my brain so I wouldn't forget. I hope that I can remember all of the wonderful things about my children. Macayla has such an imagination, I love watching her...
