Jack's Favorite Game

Jack loves hiding in the laundry room and then reappearing to everyone's delight... especially his own.

He did it!!!

You all know that Jack recently had the surgery so many babies have where tubes were put in his ears. Our doctor said that before this, Jack basically couldn't hear at all, which really affected his balance. Well, our little guy has finally found his legs this week and simply took off yesterday, taking real, unassisted steps. Way to go, brother!

Grandwoman's visit

I've noticed a new phenomenon happening with our little Rosie lately.  She loves the Veggie Tale's movie The Wizard of Has, a Veggie portrayal of the story of the Prodigal Son following the pattern of the old classic, The Wizard of Oz.  

Well, at the end of the movie the little hero "Darby" goes back home to his dad on the dental floss farm and his Dad runs to greet him, hugging and lavishing love on him- even to the extent of renting a bouncy castle and jumping in it together with his runaway son who had come home.  During this part of the movie, and long after it, our little girl just bawls her eyes out.  She literally walks around the house singing the songs and crying to herself.  I think her sweet heart is so struck by the magic of that story, the love that our Father has for us, and it melts her heart.  

In the words of Andrew Peterson, "A thing resounds when it rings true, ringing all the bells inside of you."  

This story resounds with you sweet Norah, and we just happened to catch it on video!

Makin' Cookies!

Paba and Patrick got Anna a cookie making kit for Christmas and yesterday we busted it out. We almost didn't have any cookies to decorate, bake and eat due to the eating of dough by little girls... Here's a video of our experience from start to scrumptious!

Cinderella...

Today I finished listening to a 3 part podcast interview with Stephen Curtis Chapman by Dr. James Dobson. I was on the elliptical machine at the gym finishing it up and bawling (no exaggeration) for all to see. I figured if anyone asked, I could just chalk it up to pregnancy hormones. SCC was talking about the sweet spirit of his little girls and how much they longed to dress up like princesses and dance around like they were at the ball. I played his song "Cinderella" for my girls when we got home and Norah became obsessed. I captured a few minutes of our sweet girl dancing her heart out. May I never forget all that her joyous abandon teaches me.

Kickin' it at the Park!

Here's the next video from our trip to California!! We went to the most awesome park and the kids had so much fun!

Dinner time!

Here's a snippet from our dinner tonight. The video is actually of dessert. Don't worry, we didn't eat Milano Cookies for dinner :) What a sweet, simple time this is. Lord, thank you for our girls, they are a precious gift.
