January Happenings

Well, it turns out that moms of 3 don't have as much time as moms of 2! I can't imagine how a mom of 8 or even 18 ever does it! Because of our increased busyness, I have let my blogging slip more. Here are some pictures of our January.

Upward Basketball
A.J. has started playing Upward Basketball. Since we don't take Julia out in large groups yet, Allan and I have taken turns going to his games. Here are some pictures of his first game.

Visit from Friends
We are very blessed to have our closest friends come visit. Summer came and brought Ian and Brennan. I don't know who was more excited... me or A.J.! Here is a picture of A.J. and Brennan hiding in the toy box (and yes, they actually could shut the lid). What you can't see in the picture is all the toys that came out of the box for them to get in!
One Month
Julia is now 6 weeks old (exactly today). Here is a picture I took of her when she crossed the one month date on Jan. 14. A.J. LOVED her in this outfit. He kept talking about how cute she looked and was sad when I put pajamas on her that night!

Somethings are hard to explain...
I don't know if I can explain why Abigail is wearing a football jersey on top of her dance skirt and tights (look close you can see them) with a Santa hat. Sometimes that is just the way the day goes!
Germs, Germs, Germs
Our home was attacked by tummy germs this month. Abigail had it first, A.J. had it so bad he spent a night in the hospital, and Allan and I both had it at the same time! It has not been a fun ending to our month. However, some sweetness did come out of it. While I was in the bed VERY sick, Allan went into the living room to find this...
And, as a final picture... gotta include what I hear many times during the day...
