Weekend Information...among other stuff.

Emily told me last night that it's been a month since I've blogged. 
Seriously? 
That's a long time and a lot has happened that I wish I would've written down. 
 But it is the weekend and now is a great time to start. 

The kids received their mission calls Monday night...
Emily: Poland
Annabelle: Haiti
Stephen: Calgary
Joshua: Madagascar

Did you know that Joshua has a really crazy shadow? 
( FYI- his neck isn't really like that in real life.)

Trevor took this picture of me and I can't remember why...
I think I remember him mentioning Cinderella or something...
(obviously because I have a broom, not because I look like a princess.)

I've been reading a long and boring book. 
Okay it's not really long but it is really boring. 
The Richest Man In Babylon. 
Have you read it? 
It's got great financial advice; it's just so boring. 
(I have to read it for my math class.)

Our walls are finished and now I just have to pick a paint color. 
I have 4 choices and I'm not gonna tell you which one I picked...yet. 
Painting starts next week.. 

I know this hasn't been an update, just kind of a random menagerie of information...
But I had to do something, for Emily if for no one else. 

I'm super excited for this weekend. 
Emily and I are going to go shopping this morning for her track gear, 
I'm expecting a call from some hot guy asking me out on a date for this evening,
and we get the whole weekend together, as a family, uninterrupted. 
Can it possibly get any better?

I don't think so. 
Have a great weekend!

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...
