I have much catching up to do

I have been meaning to update this blog forever! But I didn't until this morning. If I'm late to church, well, the prelude won't be as long since I'm playing the organ. So I've gone through all my pictures since August, of which there aren't many. But before we review, first we have my Isaac. One night in the middle of Kaleb's miserable coughing, at three or four in the morning I got his coughing to stop enough to send him back to bed, and we found Isaac like this. I had to take a picture. Enjoy!

Ian's 5th birthday

Ian had a very strung out birthday this year. His birthday, sadly, landed on a Wednesday, the day of all horror. For his birthday day, he went to school, got picked up by Grandma Terry, then was picked up by me and suffered through his and his brother's lessons, getting home late. We did get Wendy's for dinner for the poor kid. At least he got a frosty and a toy! Then we opened presents on Thursday night at our house, then Friday he had his birthday time at kindergarten, and then Sunday we had cake and ice cream with Fulwiders. I'm not sure the kids knew when his birthday actually was, but he seemed to enjoy it!

Presents at our house:



Derek's invention this year: G.I. Joes against Star Wars. Hmmmm.

Daddy time

Sometimes at Daddy time, the boys watch "how to" movies, or funny videos, or Derek shows them things he's bought, or things they're learning about. I just love how packed they all are around their Daddy.

Evin's first cookies!

My Evin is working on learning how to cook. Mommy encourages this, because if he cooks, I don't have to! At least maybe someday. So here are his first cookies that he made entirely by himself (except for some oven stuff). I wasn't even in the room!
