Welcome to our crazy life....

When I grew up I had the wonderful benefit of living a bike ride away from both sets of grandparents. Not so lucky are our kids. Even for the actual ones that live in Atlanta, it's still a about an hours drive away! So, this blog will have to serve as the next best thing to riding our bikes to see the grandparents. Enjoy watching our kids learn and grow one day at a time...

Update

So I realize I haven't blogged in forever. I'm very sorry for this. With our show 23 days away, I have been doing a lot of work on getting ready for it. So here's a few updates from us-

1. I'm 30 now and feeling I should start taking vitamins if I'm going to keep dancing so much. ( which of course I will! )

2. We are done with school since we started last June. Elizabeth completed 6th grade and Caleb completed 1st. I love the fact I taught another one of my children to read and write and add.... It's a honor. ( Madie and Joshua are still majoring in playdoh and coloring, well when they aren't feeding the playdoh to Bernard or eating the crayons themselves)

3. David is working toward cutting back to a 3 day a week work schedule at Bomgar. It will free him up to work more on Refuge and hang out with us. He is moving into that schedule in May.

4. The electric guitar is a hit! Elizabeth loves it and is really enjoying playing new, cool songs on it. Like a Newsboy's song, since they are her favorite band.

5. If you were to meet Caleb today for the first time and ask his age, he would inform you he will be 7 in 4 months.

6. He wants a drum set for his birthday.

7. Favorite Madeleine quote as of late. Me: go get your shoes on we're going to go somewhere. Madeleine: over the rainbow? Me: yes.

8. Joshua is growing like a weed. He can climb on the couch by himself now, sleeps with a pillow and is talking in short sentences. His favorite word is still "mine".

9. House on our block sold for 118k looks we are staying here for a while longer.

10. Oh almost forgot, we have a fully funded emergency fund! We are Dave Ramsey fans and have been doing his plan for awhile now. We've been debt free for a few years. But with 4 kids its pretty amazing we were able to save as much as we have, yay God!

Ok that's it for now. Love you all.

Saggy Diaper

Thought my mom might like to see this picture.... Reminded me of another little boy who had this same problem a long time ago :-)

How could I forget?

We got a new rug Monday. A real, wool, thick, grown-up rug!

I love it.

And yes now I have to repaint my living and dining spaces to match but that was the whole point anyway-its time to update!

We got it at our favorite place, Macy's furniture outlet. And yes, George is still there and we got the Grove Park discount again. (George sold us our dining room table and our mattress I think. He lives in our subdivision, great guy) so if you need any furniture, go see George and tell him Grove Park Way sent ya!

On the home front- Joshy is still sick. Elizabeth is fighting it, Caleb just has a little cough and Madie is fine.
