Current Favorite Album

I've really liked Matt Maher's music for a while, but this album "All the People said Amen" has been awesome to listen to.  If I had to pick favorites, I would say "Adoration", "Lord I Need You", and then our family favorite is probably "Hold Us Together" as the kids all know it and sing it.  Definitely worth a listen.

Who is that?

New dress, brushed hair, who could that be???

Luke: 10 weeks

So he does deserve more pictures, so maybe a collage of some past weeks will come.  But for now, here's the little guy.  He's doing great.  I'm cautiously optimistic, but he's had a few great nights sleeping lately...like more than 6 hours!  I've never had a baby do that even once this early, so we will see if it sticks.  He stayed home for Halloween and if anyone asks what he was for Halloween, my answer: "cute."  

Happy Halloween!

Fun times tonight.  Mom & Luke stayed home, Dad & the rest of the crew hit the streets for a while.  WAY too much candy.  Happy kids.

Fun day at Legoland Discovery

We took advantage of the day off school to head here on Monday.  Perfect that it was pretty much empty! The kids had a great time.  We followed it up with a late lunch at Fritz's.

Happy 6th birthday, Leah!

So I know I need to post other kids' past birthdays, but why get further behind. Leah had been waiting for her birthday to come for about 364 days!  I think she had a great day.  She wanted olive pizza and cookie cake to eat, so that was easy enough.  She also wanted more dry erase markers, "teacher pens", and a rainbow loom, and among other great things, she has received some of her top picks.  Thanks everyone.  She is doing well in kindergarten and really enjoys reading, playing soccer, and playing school.  Kindergarten has been a big adjustment and does tire her out.  She is a big helper at home and loves to draw and write (we go through LOTS of paper).    She will carry on quite the conversation and has an imagination out of this world. We sure love her and can't believe how she's sure seeming more grown up!

Who are these growing up kids?

Looking good to me.  Can't believe how much older they look in these pictures!
