More Pictures Please . . .

. . .  of Benedict Joseph, that is the request from our families, friends and especially Benedict’s godparents.

Sorry, I have been a little bit pre-occupy with some of the changes in our life. Please keep praying for us!

But in the meantime, enjoy looking at some of the latest development of Benedict Joseph Michael . . . and the girls.

Who Does Benedict Look Like?

Last September I blogged about “Baby Blues” and I included the photos of our girls (below) when they are about 1 or 2 days old. As you can see, they all have some similar faces with cute button noses, little lips and cheeks that you just want to squeeze.

Who do you think Benedict looks like?

We are so blessed! Thanks be to God!

Our Wind-Up Girls

The girls and I had fun creating this video using my iPhone 4 and iMovie. Enjoy!

Future Seamstresses

All three girls are showing a lot of interest in sewing, they must’ve gotten this gene from their grandmother. So, for Christmas we gave Rebecca a sewing machine and they each got a sewing basket. In the baskets are some basic sewing necessities and some starter materials. Gabriela started sewing some Christmas gift bags before Christmas. And now Rebecca is learning how to sew using the sewing machine, just like her big sister.

On The 6th Day of Christmas . . .

. . .  My true love gave to me . . . 6 faces of cuties . . . okay, so it’s three girls times two, isn’t technology just great!

Merry Christmas on the Sixth Day of Christmas!

Yippee . . . Our First Egg!

Nothing can compare than finding an egg inside the coop. Gabriela’s chicken laid the first egg for our family. The chicken was not even trained to lay the egg on her nest yet, she just laid it on the grass.They were so happy and if I remembered the girls even did the egg dance, or maybe it was me who did the egg dance!

Here Are The Chickens

We went to the chicken farm, Birdsong Community Farm in Cullman, Alabama last Friday to buy the chickens for our backyard chicken coop and the girls got to pick out (and named) their own chickens that they like. We had a good experience buying the chickens from Joshua, he really knows his chickens, thank you Joshua for your help!

	Abigail picked a Cochin and named her Goldie
	Rebecca picked a Wyandotte and named her Zebree (the chicken looks like a zebra)
	Gabriela picked a New Hampshire Red and named her Chickadee

We picked one for Christiana too and it is the Ameraucana and named her Rusty, because it has a rusty looking color.

Relaxing with my girls: Priceless!

This is what is all about . . . work hard for the whole week and enjoy the perfect weekend with my family. Stayed home for most of the time. I live for weekends like this!

Today’s Activity - Getting Buried

I’m always amazed with children how they can entertain themselves very inexpensively and still have fun. For those of you who have children, you know what I’m talking about! They can play and play, for example with an empty diaper box and turn it into a boat or a car. Or this picture, Rebecca was getting buried by every Lego and block pieces. They all took turns to get buried, and of course at the end our living room was full of Lego pieces and blocks which the living room was cleaned by the time I get home.

Girls TEA Party

Our girls and the Stevens’ girls got together to have their own TEA party, but this is not the “Tax Enough Already” party, this is a real tea party with china plates, cups & saucer, cookies, fruit, and orange juice.
I hope by the time they are old enough, they don’t actually have to go to the TEA-Tax Enough Already party, because hopefully by then we will have a new tax system,which is a flat 10% tax for everyone, just like the 10% we give to God. What’s good enough for God should be good enough for the government. Wishful thinking? Probably!

Birthday Cake The Day After!

You will not believe how excited the girls were on Saturday morning when they asked, “what are we having for breakfast?” and Coby said, “cake!”. So they had left over cake from Rebecca’s birthday. They were so happy, laughing and having a good time while having cake for breakfast!

Customers In Training

Whole Foods Market* is a great place to shop for your groceries not only because of the organic products, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. but because they have these children size shopping carts which the girls love to push around the store. Just imagine, in a couple of years we will have four girls pushing these carts around the store. * This is not an advertisement for Whole Foods Market!

Happy St. Valentine’s To My Beautiful Girls!

Life is Beautiful!

	LIFE
LIFE		LIFE
	LIFE

Today marks the anniversary of one of the saddest days in our nation’s history. 36 years ago the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that women have the constitutional right to end the lives of their unborn children. This was a victory for abortion extremists and other enemies of life. Let’s pray that the end of abortion will end soon – God Help Us!

Visit to Grandma and Grandpa

We went to visit grandma and grandpa on Tuesday to deliver their Christmas gift (they are sitting on it in the picture above). We also helped them plant their little trees in the front yard. The girls were a big help for Daddy, especially Abigail! She wanted to do everything Daddy was doing, from shovelling to pouring the dirt.

27 More Minutes On the Laundry

These girls are so cute, they are waiting for their favorites dresses to be done from washing. It's probably the longest 27 minutes they've ever waited.
