Why is it so quiet over there?

I was taking a few quiet moments to do some emailing Ben, my three year old was napping and Jenna my ten month old had just woken up. She was being SO good, as I quietly was tapping out some messages. Suddenly I thought, "A ten month old, quiet?" She was literally within ten feet away, in view, with her back to me. I went over and thought, what is that all over the floor? Well, apparently antibiotics don't agree with her stomach, and her stomach didn't agree with her diaper and the results had found an opening in said diaper, as she sat on my carpet!!! She had both hands in it and was rubbing it all over her dress. I was standing there and didn't know whether to laugh or cry! I just grabbed her and took her (at arms length) up for a bath at 3 in the afternoon. She was delighted, I was not. Especially when I had to come back down and clean that carpet! Someday I'll look back on this and laugh, right...... right?
Oh, PS Jenna took her first step on Wednesday, one day shy of being ten months old! Yay Jenna!

Welcome home!

I took Ben to a local park to meet his best buddy, John. They just had the nicest time and I had fun talking with his Mom and sister Kaylene.

I feel blessed that I have a friend who is strong in her Christian faith and has children around the same age as mine. What would we do without our sisters in faith?

After Mike returned from a recent business trip, our family went for a nice bike ride. Well, Jenna and I took a bike and Mike and Ben took the 4-wheeler! Once a boy always a boy!
It was so nice to be together for once!
