Quiet time

Every day we have some sort of quiet time.  (Its for me as much as the kids!). Today Emilia "read" a book to Audra during quiet time.  She pointed out the words "cat" and "bear" and "cake."  It was all very cute!

On Our Way!!

Yesterday we started our journey down to Texas. The kids were awesome in the car and we made it all the way to Covington, LA on the first day.

The girls were all dolled up for the road trip. Aren't they adorable?

A Friday ritual. A couple single photos :) - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Happy Friday!

Emilia Says

The kids were playing video games and it was Emilia's turn. The boys are well known for "helping" during her time and essentially using up all of her game time. So, when I looked over and saw Josiah playing I said,

"Why is Josiah playing when it is Emilia's game time?"

Emilia looked up at me and said, "Because this is a hard one and I pa-pre-sha-tate his help!"

Audra Says

After I got the pictures of Audra loaded on Facebook, Audra and I looked through them. When we got back to the beginning I said, "That's it. That's all of them."

Audra replied, "I kinda cute!"

-------------------------------------------------------------

Audra put some "valuables" (whatever was within reaching distance) into Josiah's backpack and sat in her "car" (the couch)

A: Bye! Bye!

Micah: Where are you going?

A: That way.

Audra likes to snuggle me in bed. This morning she crawled in with me and then yelled, "Don!! Don!!" (meaning, John)

When she heard his footsteps coming down the hall she pulled the covers over our head and said,

"Hide! Hide! A bad guy toming! A bad guy!"
