• Good morning   This is what I woke up to this morning....

  
  

   

  
  

  It is so gorgeous outside   My babies are still playing with their cheerios.  And my big kids are watching our new tv/vcr combo.  Our old tv was exactly 9 inches wide, and I guessing 15 years old.  It was also a tv/vcr combo...but the vcr was dying.  Probably could of fixed it again...but we splurged and got a 19 inch so we can actually see the picture on the screen  

  
  

  Yesterday was a busy day, and I was just so tired.  When I finally got to sit down at the computer it took me over an hour to get my computer working long enough to get connected.  (bump, bump, bump, bump)  How I envy all of you with DSL  but by the time we have DSL out in our neck of the woods...there will be something much faster available LOL  So instead of computing I finished my next scrapbook page.  This is the project I decided to under take while on limited movement.  I'm brand new at it.....but thought this one turned out pretty good.  (Although a teensy crooked ) 

  
  

  

  
  

     Zeria is now happy.  She finally got to hold/see her new cousin.  She's been bugging all week, and did NOT understand why she couldn't go into the hospital to see her.  After all she got to go there to see "her" baby when kaylin was born.  Oh well she survived   She loved that baby so much and kept petting her hair and giving her kisses.  Very precious.  And oh so gentle.  The outfit Sarah's wearing is very familiar to me LOL  it was Kaylin's.     Oh and yes Zeria has a bruise on her head she fell on the stairs.  But the red sticky stuff well thats the sucker she was eating just before we got to my sister's house.   Gotta love kids.

  
  

   

  
  

  Kaylin took a look at the baby and I said you want to touch her...and she ran for cover in daddy's lap.  She LOVES her baby dolls.......but apparently not real live dollys.

  
  

    

  
  

  Had contractions yesterday after a nice 3 day break.  But because Rob was home was able to take it easy, and they never amounted to much.   

  
  

  Jamari was such a sweet child last night and woke up screaming bloody murder at 10:15 pm.  It took us over an hour to get him calmed back down.  *sigh*  He had a VERY poopy/grose nasty EWWWWWWW diapy.  But normally if we change him we can lay him back down and he's fine...not last night.  AFraid he's getting sicked as he was slightly congested etc last night too.  But fortunately once he fell back asleep he stayed asleep (woo hoo)   Poor Rob though he had to go to work at 2:30 and didn't exactly get the sleep necessary for it.  Jamari does NOT whimper.  He thinks whimpering is a waste of time.  HE SCREAMS LOUDLY  there is no ignoring it, avoiding it, or ear plugging it...because it is LOUD!   Gotta love a kid who knows what he wants.

  
  

  Kaylin has learned to love the out of doors.  Its gotten warm enough we've been able to sneak them outside for a little bit each day.  So everytime she see's anybody getting ready to go outside.  I.E. to get firewood, go get the mail etc.  She grabs her coat & her boots and comes running.  And is extremely ticked when we tell her its just a 30 second errand and she should stay inside.  Oh well at least she's gonna have a lot of fun this spring and summer. 

  
  

  Next month our number one priority will be to get up a fence outside that encompases the swing set & pea gravel pile (my kids sand pile LOL)  As much of our Adoption respite fund that is needed will go into the necessary wood.  And I will be able to be up & around enough that I can watch the babies so Rob can build it.  It will be SO nice to be able to kick the big kids out and know they are safe.  The county road just runs so close I can't have them outside without watching them like a hawk.  Though they are very very good about NOT touching the road, I just do NOT want to risk it kwim?    Looking anxiously forward to that fence.   

  
  

  I'll live with the air holes in my bedroom and the lovely insulation wall-paper if I can have my fence. 

  
  

  Father God, I ask for the energy needed for this day.  And for the self-control in dealing with my kids when they make messes.  I thank you for your love, and for your goodness.  You are a great God.  I ask that sis would continue to heal, and to NOT overdue it.  In your sons name, amen
