Pictures!

I've been wanting to update for my sister with pictures of all the kids and what we've been doing.  I'm surprised that I'm actually doing it!  I would like to be a blogger, but it just doesn't happen. :)

Before I get to the pictures I'd like to say that I think my last post might of sounded a little self righteous!  Haha!  That is hilarious!  I'm laughing cause if you know me hopefully you knew that I was just bragging on God and what He can do with us sinful humans. (ALL of us humans since "there is no one rightous, not even one" so says the Bible)  I'm sure my sister has prayed (and is probably still praying) for me to get out of some sins just as much as I have for her. :)  We've always known each other so we know when we are walking with the Lord and when we are not.  Love you Jessica!  :)

Ok!  Back to the pictures!

Anne wants to be big so bad!

The first few days these two were inseparable. 

6 weeks apart...really?

pretty much the norm...crazyness!


(I don't know how to turn the picture...see, I'm not a blogger) I was sick that day and laying down to rest.  The girls came to "rest" with me and I got Jacob to take the picture. 
Scype with mom and dad! (or aunt and uncle)

I thought this was a moment I had to capture.  Ray in Nathan's lap at co-op today.
us in our co-op garb
The four oldest kids are at my mom's this weekend.  We met her at San Jacinto mall to exchange the kids.  She just happened to be wearing red too so we got a picture with all of us.

Wow!  It's been a crazy couple of weeks.  These pictures just show the highlights.  There has been lots of schooling, lots of crying and some fighting too.  I hope Jessica, Josh and Kellen enjoy the pictures.  (this might be the only time I do this)

Pray for my sister, her husband and Kellen their toddler that is with them.  They need to be assigned a judge and then a court date before they even know when they can come home.  They probably feel like they are stuck in Eastern Europe indefinitely.  They are building bonds with there soon to be new kids.  But they miss their babies back here in the states :(  Pray that God gives them strength to endure to the end, and joy in the struggle.
