Time has flown!

I absolutely cannot believe that it has already been a month since my last post!?! Our family caught some kind of a nasty virus that started out as a bad headache and then went into fever, chills and aches. It lasted for 3-5 days for some of us and then some of us just felt weak and tired for a day or so. It came in different degrees and seemed to hang around much longer than we cared for! At least, it was NOT puking or diarrhea! Anyway, we are all on the mend and I am finally getting around to putting on a new post! ;o)
Caleb is getting around quite well, in fact a little too well! He is beginning to get into everything and he loves to eat paper! I guess he is low on fiber?! Seriously, I am digging paper out of his mouth several times a day! We try to keep the floor clean but he manages to find it in the places we haven't seen! He also has a lovely new trick of grinding his teeth! Ugh! Becca, Ben and Abby did the same thing and it was just as annoying then! He gets this ornery little grin and he grinds away all the while scooting all over the floor toward something he should not have! Even though it is exasperating to keep up with him, we are enjoying how he learns new things everyday and thank God daily for the way He is helping him to develop and grow.
Becca is ahead in her schoolwork and doing quite well with her grades. She loves to read and play the piano and is becoming a good helper around the house.
Ben is reading very well and making good grades too. He loves to play nintendo and does a good job unloading the dishwasher for his momma.
Abby loves to play with her Pollypockets and her paperdolls. She is learning to color quite well and fills up pages and pages of pictures for our refrigerator! She also loves to help momma around the house.
Danny finished 2 of his classes and recieved an A and a B for his hard work! We are proud of him for doing so well! He is taking his 3rd class now and seems to be enjoying it and getting the hang of writing papers! He has started doing lawnwork and landscaping again and is working on another side business.
I am back to selling Pampered Chef and enjoying it! I just turned in a $500 party and had a blast doing it! I plan on continuing to sell it so if anyone needs anything or wants to have a party to get FREE products, you know who to call! ;o) I stay BUSY homeschooling and doing everyday 'mommy' things!
We have had more people interested in buying our place but it fell thru again! We just keep telling ourselves that it will sell in God's timing, not ours! We are getting more excited as we prepare to go on our TLC trip to Haiti! We are working on putting together our team and asking God to direct us to the right ones. Getting our passports is our next step. Please pray that it will go smoothly...thanks! Enjoy the pics!

Caleb found a new friend when we went to the Bus
convention. Her name is Kalena and her mommy
went to college with Danny. Kalena is 8 months old.


Caleb was quite taken with the little beauty!
Are'nt they sweet and adorable?!


Caleb LOVES to play with Becca's keyboard!
He will sit for a long time and just push the keys
and listen to their sounds.....a budding musician?!



Hamming it up in his highchair!


Snugglin' with Ben and Becca.

Abby giving Caleb a 'music lesson'! LOL!
Caleb's first taste of a popsicle...he was not impressed!

Abby grins while doing a Barbie puzzle...

Our 2 handsome sons! I love this picture!
Sitting sweet!
