Vacation

Well, here we all are with the flu. Yipee! And Dan is on vacation. What a vacation! Dan and Sara got sick on Sunday and Mya got sick last night. I have held off but now am feeling some nausea. This morning I cleaned the house from top to bottom in hopes that I would escape the sickness. We shall see. We planned on taking all of these fun trips with the kids this week so I hope that we are on the mend by tomorrow. We all need to get out of the house! Please pray for healing for our family.

Dress Up

I guess when you watch evening cartoons it is very important to wear a princess hat and sunglasses!

Family Day

Boy was it a great day yesterday (Saturday)! Dan had to work in the morning so the girls and I stayed home. I cleaned the windows in the house while the girls followed me around with the paper towels and Windex. They also helped me clean the breezeway. I know...I know...all of this will be filthy again as the snow continues to melt. But, it felt so good to clean some things that were really dirty.

At noon, Dan and I took the girls to the hair saloon to get their hair cut. They think they are so special sitting in the chair getting their hair cut. It is adorable.

After the girls took their nap, we went to the YMCA to swim with the girls. We lasted about 20 minutes because the water was cold. Brrrr! Both girls clung to us so tight, but they did have fun. So we packed them up, thankfully they have a family locker room so Dan could help me with the kids, and stopped by the pizza shop to get a $5 pizza. The best meal on a budget! We went home, ate the pizza, gave the girls a bath, and watched a new Dora movie. I love family days. I forgot to take the camera to the pool so I took pictures of the kids in the bathtub instead.

Snow Day

Bad Blogger

Oh....I have become such a bad blogger. I have good intentions and by the end of the day I am ready to crash instead of blog. But I do miss it. So here I go again trying to keep up with it.

So what is new with us? Well...Dan is busy with work and trying to beat his latest video game. I love when he tries to beat games because he plays at night and I sit beside him reading these Amish novels that I am really into. It is fun hanging out together. And then when I have a silly show on like "Desperate Housewives" or something like that, he watches it with me. And because we have PVR or DVR (can't remember which one it is), we get the best of both worlds. He can play games while I read, and then we can watch the taped show later in the evening. Love it! I am busy with typing a book that my mom is going to publish and sell, organizing MOPS stuff, and chasing after the kids. I also will be doing some workshops in the spring for parents. I will be teaming up with my friend Kate to present on teaching literacy skills with a focus on special needs. The biggest thing that Dan and I are praying about right now is whether or not to have another child. We have had some letdowns with our medical insurance, which has caused us to question whether or not we should get pregnant again. Of course there is always the consideration of my blood clotting disorder. I don't want to risk my health for another child, yet I would like to have one more. We go back and forth on it. Please help us pray in this area. We aren't getting pregnant and haven't since the miscarriage in September. I think it is interesting that we aren't getting pregnant when I was so fertile with the first two kids. It is like God is giving us time to really submit to Him in this area.

On a lighter note, in addition to growing my hair out, I recently died it a darker color. Well, I mean my sister-in-law did it for me. I am still getting used to it, but Mya took my picture this morning so we could put it on the computer. She was pretty excited to take Mommy's picture.
