Well it’s been another busy week. What have we been up to?
KIDS.
We have been up to (our neck) with kids. Like always.
And I love that.
Here’s a bit from our week…
Aislynn has been enjoying her art lessons! She drew this picture of our bunny and then used water colors to paint it. Didn’t she do a great job? I think so! Twice a month a home school art teacher comes to our house and gives Aislynn private lessons. Avery and Alex did the same program back when they home schooled. Art is so much fun!
Alex got new soccer cleats. Yeah, this was a big deal. The kid carried those things around for days before actually wearing them to practice. He said he didn’t want to get them dirty. You know, the thing about being in a LARGE family is that you really cherish the NEW things that you get! Even new soccer cleats. Do you like the color? Now I will have no problem finding Alex out on the field.
She folded these blankets all by herself. And she was very proud of herself. So I took a picture.
This little six year old of mine has been taking pictures with my good camera. Yep, I’m trusting him with my Canon 60D. (He wears the strap around his neck at all times!) Anyway, he is so proud of the photos that he’s been taking. I think he’s got talent! He took some great shots of me and my big belly this week. I’ll be showing those photos in another post… coming soon!
One morning I woke up to find these two cuties snuggled up in my bed next to me. We three stayed in bed a bit longer than usual because we were “cozy” so I got my phone and you guessed it — I took a picture. Memories, you know. You just gotta snap them when you can!
At a soccer game this week, Andrew kept kissing my belly to say hello to his little brother. So cute!
Aislynn went with me to the health store in search of some supplements I needed ~ ugh this stuff…doesn’t taste so good.
And finally we worked a bit in our garden plot. It had really gotten overgrown during the winter months. A bit neglected, even. But since spring is coming soon, we though we’d better get it in shape again. So we weeded and weeded and then pulled some more weeds.
Of course when I say “we” I mean “them” because I’m just not up to all that bending right now!
And Aria did her part. She enjoyed pulling up the weeds.
And that was a good thing, because there sure were a lot of them!
Love all the pics. What a beautiful family you have. Aislynn did a GREAT job on the bunny
I would like to say that your children are beautiful. How blessed are you.
A while back you commented on my blog about Brittni and her baby Zeke. You also were so sweet to do a post about this sweet family who are getting very close to deliver their baby. We went to her shower/celebration of life. Due to the fact that Zeke will not live very long it was more like a get together to celebrate the life that lives within her.
I wanted to invite you over to my blog so that you could put a face with the name. it is touching to see the things she did at this unique shower. God is working through these two amazing people. I just wanted to be able to share it with you.
Have a wonderful week, Cathy
