Babies, babies every where and still more to come...

Audrey wondering if she should sneak some of these treats...
sharing the bounty with bekah...

bekah knows they have been caught but with a smile like that who could yell....
Heather finally had her doctors appointment the other day.. They did a 3d ultrasound and we got to see the new little butter bean.. She (heather) is due on November 16Th- no idea what the sex of the baby is yet... Probably a girl but a little boy would be nice...
Heather and I took Audrey and Bekah to wally world tonight and while Bekah picked out a toy monkey to take home - Audrey got a new princess bed set for her toddler bed. She sat in the back of the cart the whole time holding the set on her lap. I told her she needed to clean her room before she put the things on her bed- and she said "otay"....
You should see the mess she and Bekah made in their room- that's why I nicknamed her "hurricane Audrey" and "tornado Bekah". You defiantly know when they have been around...

where did all the time go???

So we took nick to raleigh to preview his college and I bought Audrey a princess skirt, wand, and book. She put it on as soon as she came over and refused to take it off all night. I had to put her pj's on under the skirt. I barely got it off of her to put her to bed...
This is a picture of Robbie, Heather, and Nick at a much younger age.. Where did all the time go and how did they grow so quickly...

school gets out in a week and a half (for me)... So I am free until the 25th of August... I've already started ordering my book supply for my own summer reading- none needed for school but just for my love of books. Let's see I've ordered The Shack- about a guy that finds God and the meaning to his life in a shack where his six year old daughter was killed, I've ordered Martyrs Mirror- it's a book of the Amish Martyrs from the 17th century, the book The Prayer that changes everything about the hidden powers of praising God, George Orwell's 1984, and one on the psychology level called The man who mistook his wife for a hat about different psychology disorders. It's beginning to look like a great summer of reading....

Family in review






So as I was goofing off on the computer this evening I found this really cool site that took my pictures and made them into magazine covers... Here for their first time is my now famous family for all to enjoy...

Life


I played around a little on the computer tonight and made this magazine cover- it is by far the greatest example of life itself...

New lease on life

Tricia got her new lungs the other day. All seems to be going well. She has a super strong support group and her husband is amazing in his caring and strength. Please continue to pray for them- including both sets of extended family. Baby Gwen (thats all I can spell) is doing super and is gaining much needed weight. Look into your hearts and see if you can donate to the fund Tricia's husband has set up. Any amount would help them. Also keep a check on the site for a link I'll add to make a donation for the walk later this year. This family is an inspiration to everyone and God is working miracles through their lives on a daily bases...

going strong

So here we are again... Heather is prego. Am I old enough to be the grandmother of three? Rob and I are going to take foster parenting classes. There is a 18 month old that needs a stable foster care home and may be available for adoption in a few months. So we decided to take her in as a foster child and see if we're not to old to "baby again". Which takes us back to the question: Am I old enough to be the grand mother of three or better yet the mother of a 18 month old? I'll try to get more information about baby C when I know a little more... We took the babies (Audrey and Bekah) to a childrens fair today- Audrey went around yelling FROG- after she saw a large Frog walking around. She saw someone dressed like a slice of pizza and refused to eat lunch ( we chose pizza for some reason). Bekah slept through the whole event...
