Grandpa's Visit

Papaw Raglin came to visit and I got a couple of pictures. I forgot until after Luke and Cailin had already left for school, so Kristen and Haley are just got theirs taken. Haley always says, Owie! Owie! Owie!" when I comb her hair. She let dad do it without so much as a grunt. I guess mommy isn't very careful or she has picked up a bad habit from Cailin!

Sick, sick, sick

Haley was sick the first weekend of April. She woke up with a high fever and it stayed for 2 days. I took a picture of her being cooled by a wet washcloth. I am praying that this year she will be healthier than she was last year! She has been through many different sicknesses and we are so thankful for her health recently. Praise the Lord for doctors and their wisdom!

Our Little Cardinal Fan!

Go Cardinals! The girls have all worn this outfit and I decided to take some pictures of Haley in it. She was very cooperative for the camera this day. This was the beginning of April! Kristen didn't have a Cardinals outfit, but the picture turned out well.

Dreadfully Behind!

It seems like the fast forward button has been pushed on life around here! Things are going well and we are staying busy. I will try to get caught up on all the goings on around here. Bear with me though, because I know some are at least 2 months old.

Happy Anniversary to us!

Yesterday was our 11th anniversary. It seems like yesterday that we were married. How time flies! We had a great day together! A friend stayed overnight Friday night and Aaron and I were able to go to yard sales Saturday morning without any kiddos! The post was having a "Post-wide Yard Sale." Well, it wasn't fantastic, but Aaron did find ANOTHER riding lawn mower. He will sell the other 2 and keep this one. At least, that was the last plan! After spending the morning at yard sales, we spent a few hours at home. Then a couple from church volunteered to watch the kids while we out to dinner. They also have 4 kids around our kid's ages, so it worked out nicely. Aaron and I went to Mizeki's which is a Japanese Sushi Bar--and, no, we didn't eat sushi, but everything else was yummy! We are thankful for the marriage that we have. Although it has its ups and downs, the Lord is gracious and we are happy! (We got a new camera and will have to upload a picture later!)

A Big Girl

Haley has graduated to a big girl bed. For now it is in our room until she gets the idea of what it is for and then it will be moved to the girl's room. I can't believe my baby is moving out of the baby stage!








She has also learned to climb UP and DOWN the stairs. A couple of stairs have been no problem for awhile now, but our stairs are all wooden and fairly steep. She definitely likes the freedom that it brings!

Easter Sunday

Because our family eventually all got the stomach bug, our Easter pictures will be a week later than Easter. Thankfully, we are all doing better and unless someone else gets sick (again!) we will venture to church tomorrow.

Easter is such a special time in that we can remember that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose from the grave! All of which make it possible for us to trust in Him for our salvation. One day our home will be in heaven with Him. What a wonderful reminder to us.
