Our little brut


Wyat is tickling our mohok guy

So sweet!

Sara is so proud to be a big sis!

What can I say? He is perfect! No one has argued with me on that one...yet. All of the kids are loving on him and fighting over holding him. Another little one just increases the love for everyone- not diminishes. I just love watching the kids dote on him- my heart just melts. I will try to keep up with pics as the little guy changes...thanks for sharing in the joy with us!

Branson with Illinois Kids

What a great week! Kira has improved so much with her comfort on stage and performing. All kids who performed receive atleast a silver medal then, if they receive high scores from the judges, they can get a gold or gold with honors. Kira received a silver for her solo performance and a gold for the group. I think that she learned a lot from watching the other kids- there was some stunning talent there! The whole experience was inspiring and impressive- these are not kids whose parents drive them to perform. These are kids who are using their talents to shine for our Lord. It is just so awesome.

We had a lot of fun swimming in the pool, doing bumper boats, going to the Titanic museum, swimming at the lake and of course, spending a day at Silver Dollar City (amusement park). The kids did great and the baby cooperated. It was a great vacation!

Belly Shots- as promised....

Nothing fancy, and of course it doesn't look as big as it feels...I am currently measuring at 42 cm, which is supposed to be approx 1 cm per week of pregnancy. But, hey, who's keeping track? About two more weeks to go, prayerfully! Please pray that the baby stays nice and cozy in utero until we get back from Branson. But, as we all know, God plans are often much different then our own!

Our Celebration of FREEdom

Sara toasts to the nite

Mesmerized by the fireworks...

It was a great show put on by the city which was delayed to Sunday because of weather.

Kira said that the rain was God's way of making people remember George Washington's

battle and how we became free because sometimes we get too busy

celebrating and forget why. Not bad for an 8 year old, eh? Hope everyone

took time to thank God for our lives and this blessed country that we live in!

Our Princesses...

I remember when Kira looked like this and now....

she looks like this.
She is trying on her dress for the formal party at Nationals.
