3 weeks!?!

I can't believe it's been that long since I've blogged. 
We've been super busy around here.  
See for yourself:
We've gone rampant on random kissing pictures.   
 The girls had an orchestra concert on the same night as one of Stephens baseball games. 
We had to split up for the evening; I was at the game, Trevor was at the concert.
They all did a great job. 
 I love this picture. It's from Mothers Day and I'm determined to frame it and 
hang it up in Emilys room just so that when she's going through her difficult teenage years,
she'll be able to see how much I love her. 
 Stephen turned nine years old! 
He was so happy with his beanbag chair, books and reading lamp. 
Can't you tell?
 Candice and Grandma Barwick came for a visit. 
Carl and Grandma are great friends...
We loved having them come to visit. 
It's never long enough.
(I mean that Candice!)
 That's Kyran ^. Her boys are so fun and sooo mischievous.
We absolutely love them. 
Josh has taken to going to bed in just his undies. 
And sometimes he'll wear socks.
We think he might be getting a bit too big for that...and too big to be carried..
it's just that some habits are so hard to break. 

Tomorrow is a day off for Trevor! 
We have a garden to plant, a tree to stick in the ground, 
a picnic to go to and some other equally thrilling events. 
I hope you have a great Memorial Day!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
