Kaleia Joy....

The OB check-up went really well this morning. Kaleia Joy is growing!
Thanks for the prayers and support, she still has a little ways to go-but things are looking better! Praise God!

The Blind Side....

I might actually end up at the movies this year after all!

Little thoughts...

Just daydreaming about Kaleia Joy today and what she may look like...here are some baby pics of the girls....

....I won't tell you who is who ;)

Daddy made us bracelets...

Sibling 'shared love' over cars...

Parker Yared LOVES playing cars and always looks to see if Isabella is near-he knows he will have her full attention as soon as he brings his cars down to play. He does great with her and is very gentle. I will offer that he can play upstairs in the boys room so he isn't bothered and he always says "better down here" and then looks for little Bella to come play.

Ayannah's wisdoms.....

Ayannah: "Mom, I think I would like to focus on my thinking and creativity more than my muscles. I was thinking it doesn't matter HOW MUCH I grow muscles and get stronger I could never move a mountain....but, maybe...if I think real hard and be creative I could make a plan that would move a mountain."

Me: "That makes sense."

Ayannah: "Do they sell mustard seeds at Wal-mart?"

Me: "Why? Do you even know what a mustard seed is?"

Ayannah: "I think I might need a few to move the mountain. You said God gave you mustard seeds to get the boys home from Africa and that 'that was no accident-no matter how hard some days are'..."

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Ayannah: "God made the whole world, right?"

Me: "Yes."

Ayannah: "Then why is He ONLY the prince of the East?"

Me: "What are you talking about?"

Ayannah: "The song says...He is the prince of the East..."

(after figuring out what song we were talking about...)

Me: "No, it says prince of PEACE"

Ayannah: "That makes more sense. Maybe they should NOT have veggies sing about God, it might confuse some of us kids!" (Veggie Tales praise and Worship CD)

Harvest festival fun!...
