My. Oh. My

My. Oh. My are we glad this week is over.....

2 sick kids...stomach aches, fevers, constipation, head colds, coughs, chest congestion, no sleep :(

2 sick grandparents...sorry Seedy and Teta, we like to share our illnesses with the ones we love.

1 extremely busy and hard-working husband...we were like two ships passing in the night with Randy's schedule at the dental office and working the hockey games until the late, late hours of the night

1 sweet cousin who is always on our mind... lost her husband 3 short years ago and hit a bit of a rough patch    just before celebrating her 30th birthday

and 1 momma who recently has taken on the role of a pseudo real estate agent trying to list, show, and sell this house while pushing along our new ministry at church

My. Oh. My do we love our family and friends

Grandparents who give the kiddos a little TLC when they need it the most

Aunt Abla and our sweet cousins, Emann and Rana who took Helaina out to her first movie and make her feel like a princess for the night

Aunt Abla who offers to watch the kids so Randy and I can get to the movies for the first time in over 2 years. FYI Identity Thief is a must see...hilarious!

My. Oh. My do we love our kids.

Just look at that handsome face on our little man.  

Just look at that belly and that orange flower tattoo that his sister insisted he wear for the day.

And we thought she was done sucking her thumb, guess everyone needs a little comfort now and then.  Sleeping with her new Arial doll from her sweet friends, Grace and Claire, sent all the way from Maryland.  

 Simple things, driving with Daddy around the block.

God is good. He always finds a way back into our hearts during these difficult weeks and let's us know we are safe and He will continue to protect and provide for us.  In the words of our sweet kids when they sing their "Jesus songs" aka Christian music, "Thank you Lord for this fine day, right where we are."
