Finally! Some pictures!

Most of my posts in the last month or so have had no pictures in them, so I thought it was time to post some recent pictures of the kids. I know anyone who doesn't see us regularly and reads my blog appreciates the pictures. So here they are.

Raquelle has figured out what a camera is now and loves to pose for it.
Titus is much more of a little boy now then a baby or toddler. That is marker on his face, not a bruise.
Raquelle has become obsessed with shoes. Her current favorite is this pair of rain boots that is 2 sizes too big for her! Maybe by next year they will actually fit! Last night, when Thad went in to check on the sleeping children, he had to carefully pry them out of her arms without waking her up before he could put her blankets back on her. Why can't my child be obsessed with a teddy bear or baby doll instead?
Titus and Raquelle during "school" time. Raquelle knows all of her letters and sounds, and Titus knows a few of them now too.

What did you mean by harness? He has the seatbelt on his lap and chest. I don't know of anything else. In the pic, there is a monkey thing over the chest belt, to help with it rubbing against his neck.

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.

Raquelle is here!

Raquelle Elizabeth was born Sunday March 5th at 5:49 AM after 41 hours of labor! I was sent home from the hospital 3 times Friday and Saturday because I was not making very fast Progress. Contractions started out 3 min apart Friday at noon and got really strong by about 11 am on Saturday. I could no longer stand the pain so they had to keep me this time. By 4 pm I was at 3.5 cm and Contractions were 2 to 3 min apart, and so strong I was shaking uncontrolably through them. So I begged for an epi (gave up on going natural after the first 28 hours). The epi was the most traumatic part of the whole thing. As they were putting it in, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low and they had to rip it out and give me two shots of epinephrin to raise it back up and then start over. The 2nd try, they put the needle in too deep and punctured the fluid behind the epidural cavity, which caused the fluid between my brain and spinal cord to start leaking. This causes horrible migrain headaches that th...

The Dream Giver

I haven't written in a while, but as I start to toy with the idea of moving away from facebook, I find myself toying with the idea of reactivating this old blog.  I'm not sure what direction it will take.  Perhaps an overview of things I am learning?  Perhaps cute stories about the kids and every day life?  Maybe an occasional allergy friendly recipe... I don't know.  For now, I am a firm believer in life long learning and mentorship.  I strive to discipline my brain and my personal development daily with books I read, what I watch or listen to, Bible studies, and people I hang out with.  I just finished reading the book "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson, the author of "The Prayer of Jabez."  I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this  book! A short overview.  "The Dream Giver" is about a "nobody" named "Ordinary" who lives in the land of "familiar."  Every day, he wakes up and goes to the same job.  ...
