One Crazy Night.....

Friday February 15th started off as your average day. Did school with Joel, house hold chores, and keeping up with the kids. Seth, the kids, and I were going home to my parents house for the weekend. So the plan was to leave around 6:00. It was around 5:45 I was all packed and ready. Our suitcases were by the door ready to be loaded. Seth and I were just getting ready to load up the kids when Ella started to projectile vomit. We cleaned up Ella and the mess and were discussing what to do, when Gracie and Chloe came up to fighting and crying. Joel was using the restroom and started screaming as well. The toilet was overflowing and the water was pouring into the basement. Ella started vomiting again! Our dog was going crazy. Seth and I could not believe what was happening. Everything was falling apart around us. The only thing that Seth and I could do was to laugh cause we had to give some sort of emotion. We made it through the night one step at a time and lived to tell about it. Our decision to leave that night was made for us and left the next morning for my parents. Where we had a wonderful stay with them in spite of having sick kids. I was happy to have the help.

Mocha


This is our new puppy Mocha. She is so laid back and will let you do pretty much anything with her. She is such a joy and delight to have. I'm looking forward to house training part becoming a distant memory though.

Ella




Ella is so bright. Her personality is exploding all over the place! Her love in life is babies and Dora the explorer. She is so observant and thinks that she is just as big as us all. Really in her mind there is nothing holding her back.

Chloe



Chloe is our vibrant live wire! She is such a sweetheart. Chloe spends her days playing with our new puppy Mocha and coloring. Her heart is so big and her compassion it teaches me so much. She truly brings us such joy.

Gracie




Gracie is blossoming into a lady. She is learning her letters and numbers, and meeting so many new friends at school. I can see God doing so much in her. He is truly answering our prayers.

Joel


Our Joel has been turning
into such a little man. He is reading everything in sight, lossing teeth, and exploring a new found love legos. Joel wants to grow up to be a dentist and an astronaut. We'll see how that turns out.
