Important Addendum

I realized in writing my last post regarding my desire to neglect a cape, I also neglected to acknowledge that I've been gifted with more than just my own abilities. God has given me so much help in OTHERS. I could not and would not be where I am without the consistent loving aid of so many friends, family, friends who are like family, neighbors, community, and with out a doubt, the best husband in the world. There aren't too many men that can handle three kids under five with a smile, an excitement for baby number four, and the ability to keep working well past putting those kiddos down for the night. I am so grateful for my steadfast leader. He is a true gift.

I'm also grateful for our small group leaders who did some grocery shopping for us this weekend and dropped off these beautiful sunflowers to brighten our home.


These boys need some new activities with all this down time. What better way to get ready for the winter Olympics than a homemade bobsled contest!
Thank you for praying for our boys. It seems that over half of Silas' class it out with the flu this week, so we will be staying home for sure! By the grace of God and fervent prayer, Levi and the other boys seem to have escaped the terrible illness with just minor fevers, coughs, runny noses, etc. Levi has lost some of his food do to excessive coughing, but I'll take it over the alternative.
Thank you for your constant concern, love, and care for our little crew. We wouldn't be able to keep going without so much support!

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
