Update

Yes, we are still here. Ezra is now 8 weeks old and doing well! He has his 2 month check up on Monday--at which time I am sure I will hear how he is not gaining as much weight as they would like...at least, with my fourth I am prepared for this and not overly concerned. Scott and I made the decision to not have me return to work and I am not udjusting to being home. It is very nice to not be stressed about that and to be home with the kids. It has also allowed me time to start going back to the gym. So far I have made it everyday this week. I truly enjoy it and it feels good to be exercising. It takes some work to get all the kids dressed and out the door early in the morning, but it is worth it. Silas is enjoying 1st grade and becoming quite a good reader--I am so proud of him, but a little sad that my little boy is growing up. It makes me take more time to sit an enjoy my youngest, since they do grow so quickly. Mary is home with me and sometimes she gets a little bored without her big brother, but she is hanging in there. She loves having girl time, so I am working to make more time for her and me. Nehemiah is developing his own little personality and has adjusted to having a new little brother. I love the age that he is at! Scott has moved into a new position at our church. He is still the Singles Pastor but has taken on the role of Pastor of Recovery as well. This is a good fit for him. We are both very passionate about recovery. Well, a baby is crying and another one is due up from his nap, so I must go. Here are some pictures.


Fun in a Box!


Ezra at 6 weeks. His eyes are a beautiful blue and I hoping they will stay that color.




We took my parents to the Raiders vs. Chargers game on Sept. 28th. Ezra came along and was a great little boy--slept most of the time. A true Raider fan probably would have made a little more noise!

Back in June I took the oldest two to the beach with my mom and sister. We all had a great time! They loved the water. I had to keep a close eye on Mary--she doesn't have much fear and I could just see one of those waves taking her out. It was a beautiful day even though I got sunburned and was sick the whole next day.


Nehemiah turned 1 on June 29th. Happy Birthday little "monkey man"


This is from the 4th of July--before baby number four! Everyone loved the fireworks. We had all the family over for a bbq and homemade ice cream. It is such a blessing to have home to have people over to.
