In the photo above, Jillian is "teaching" Georgia and the Stuffies. She is teaching them Bible verses in song format. They are pretty quick learners.
Storytime with Grandpa in front of the fireplace.
Luke's first slumber party!
Elias took over read-aloud time on this February day while I was nursing Luke. One of our fam's fave books is "Make Way For Ducklings".
Laid Luke on the couch for a nap, went to the kitchen, came back in to the living room to check on him...and discovered another "mommy" thought this was a great location for her baby to take a nap too.
It must be kinda fun having these three people talking to you at once.
First smile caught on camera on February 12th...one month old, pretty sure it was a "real" smile, too :)
Sunny Snow Day!
Luke is almost two months old now, Georgia is 2.5 years, Jillian almost 5 years, Elias 6 years old. All six of us are living with my gracious parents whose arms of love have expanded greatly to allow us to live in their home for five months now. I'm learning A LOT about unconditional love from my mom and dad. I am SURE that we annoy them at times. I constantly annoy MYSELF with all of my mistakes and clutter...imagine being "empty nesters" and having a family of six enter into almost every corner of your home space. Yet somehow (I attribute it to their love for us, faith in Jesus, sense of humor, oath to each other to remain "kids at heart", their ability to forgive and "let it go", and that they genuinely enjoy being around us--at least I think they genuinely enjoy being around us...), my parents continue to make us feel welcome here until we march onward to Kentucky.

Your kids are just getting so big, I cannot believe it! I love how you can tell how much they care about each other just from these pictures, gotta love siblings.
Your parents are wonderful, what lucky kids to have such awesome grandparents. My parents are always telling us if we want to move to WA we can live with them for as long as we need and i know they mean it too. :)
