A Week in Review

Things have been super busy around here

so we have not had much time to take pictures

or update the blog.

Here is what we've been up to this last week, enjoy!

Wednesday was Western Night at WNKOF

Here is a picture of my lil' cow pokes

all dolled up in there western gear.

The kids always have a lot of fun.

Micah has decided to be in the children's choir this year.

I am sure there will be some exciting performances

in the coming year!

Asa is finally able to sit pretty well all by himself.

We had a bit of a delay after his accident

because (A) I did not want to put him down and

(B) I would not let him fall.

So A + B = C

(C) Asa always assumed someone would catch him

and would dive at anything he saw

He is doing very well sitting now

and loves to sit and play his piano just like Wally.

Here is Asa and Wally enjoying their bomb pops.
Asa has been a bit cranky this week

and has been battling ear infections.

If you have not met Wally yet,

he is the international student that we have

the opportunity to host this year.

He has been a very good big brother to our crew.

We have been quite surprised.

I think we really just expected him to sleep,

eat, go to school, and study.

But, on the contrary, he plays with our kids a lot

and is really quite helpful and you might even say

protective of the kiddos.

(Like when Lily is about to fall off of the chair she is standing on

or Asa pukes in his bed and we don't know it)

I guess God knew we needed an extra set of hands around here :)

Grandma Peanuts (Geoff's mom)

used to pray with the kids when they spent the night

and she would ask God to let all the angels protect them...

"especially Wally"...

I think that is kind of ironic, eh?

Except, I think Grandma Peanut's "Wally"

was supposed to be a fish.

Oh well!

We are just hoping Wally can survive

a whole school year in our house.

It's pretty crazy around here!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOOTHLESS WONDER SAYS...

"Are you 100% glad I've got a tooth gone?"

Micah has been waiting a long time for this.

It has been loose for a whole month.

He finally just pulled it out today.

Now it's on to 20 questions about the tooth fairy!

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Asa just wanted to let you all know that he is doing lots better.

Thank you all for your prayers, please continue to pray for his healing.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

I am not a crafty,

but I was brave and went to sewing night at Jaime's house.

She was very kind to let me use her machine.

I was sure I would break it since my only sewing experience

was in jr high home ec. I think I fared OK.

I at least finished my bag and it only took 6 hours!

Thanks Jaime, Amy, and Jodi

for your patience.

Here is the pirate bag I made for Asa

I think he likes it and it fits him perfectly!

( yes, I already know I am a dork!)
