Boys never cease to amaze me

I found this while changing Bear's diaper.

Brendon had his first solo shower. I really thought he would like it but boy was I wrong.
He didn't even like wearing his towel like a man. Nothing seemed to go his way, poor guy.

Missing socks

Most people say that they always discover they are missing socks after removing them from the dryer. Dryer goblins maybe, :). But not Kati and I, we now where to find our missing socks......

We love you.....................

We are grieving the loss of our dear friend's son Caden. He has gone on to be with the Lord just two short days before his third birthday. It did not seem right to go on blogging and not talk about this tremendous loss because the world will not be the same without his smiling face. He was always on the go and I am sure the golden streets are already worn down with his unique run. We miss you tremendously and you will never be forgotten sweet "Baby Cake".

Philippians 1:3 "I thank my God every time I remember you."

Blessed be the Name

Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful

Where Your streams of abundance flow

Blessed be Your name

And blessed be Your name when I'm found in the desert place

Though I walk through the wilderness

Blessed be your name

Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise

And when the darkness closes in Lord

Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be Your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name

When the sun's shinning down on me

When the world is "all as it should be"

Blessed be Your name

And blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering

Though there's pain in the offering

Blessed be Your name

You give and take away

You give and take away

My heart will choose to say

Lord, blessed be your name

Half way there!

As of today I am twenty weeks pregnant. At twenty weeks the baby is approximately 1 pound and 7 1/2 inches long. I am able to feel his movements much more now and he even gave Jeff a great big kick last night. He (the baby) loves when the kids talk to him, I can feel him squirming all around when they do. Today I signed Kati up for a sibling class. She is very excited about going to the hospital and getting to learn new things about the baby. Only half way and already I am uncomfortable big, I guess that is just part of being pregnant with number 3.

Valentine Shirt

I found this cute idea on the Internet for a valentine shirt. You let the kids sponge paint hearts onto a shirt, then you go back and write comments on them like those Sweetheart candies. She had a great time. She asked after everyone, "Is this one pretty?" I am trying to teach her it doesn't matter if anyone else thinks she or her stuff is pretty; that it only matters what she thinks.

I let Kati go first because, well because Bear is just crazy about her. I knew he would watch her doing it better than he would listen to me telling him how.
And he did a great job too.

However, he did get the paint a few other places than just the shirt. It was hard to get off.

They did a great job, huh?
