We are JUSTIFIED!!!

There is NO condemnation in Christ! Wehew! As I was uploading these pics, I was listening to Pastor Shane Holden preaching at First Free Church in La Crosse, WI. Wow. I am so encouraged. If you have 40 spare minutes sometime, every minute is worth it!

Now, onto this month's pics...
Here are the kids sporting their goods from our first package! My sister Nat sent some fun hair things and socks, kids paint and sweets, and more. We had fun opening the box!

"I think I'll paint my foot now, since my make up and nail polish is all set to go."

I don't have the time to put these in order since I have to pick up L & C from preschool in a few minutes. So here's a random picture of my stud husband trying out Caedmon's new skateboard thing that he got at a rummage sale for $6 (brand new!).

Smile if you like big pink bows!
(She really didn't mind, though in this picture she looks a bit like Rambo).

4 month old pics
(Eh, 4th kid, how about the watermelon outfit?)

I love it.

Dass did not love this.
(Contrary to our last visit when she was all about saying "Ni-O" to everyone).
("Ni Hao" pronounced "knee how" meaning "Hi" is what she meant).

Dass is like... "I'm going this way since mom isn't paying attention."

Tada! The triple bunk! Josh combined the one tall bunk bed we had with Lily's normal bed that had a trundle bed, and viola!

Our daily trip down the elevator. Lily is always trying to play tricks on us.

How not to put on sunglasses.

Dassah decided to share her love for books with Viv. Reading stories has been a blast around here with so many eager to learn beavers.

Lily's hobby for a day: bird watching.

So proud!

This is a grocery list Lily made all by herself. I found it in her room. Notice "icecream cones" on the last line. :)

I did not know how to respond to this. I had to conceal laughter as I told the kids it wasn't wise to draw on their walls with their fingernails. (There were characatures all over the entire room!)

This is also what Lily and Caedmon do for fun.

Caedmon loves writing is name everywhere. Including on cement with water.

Playing outside again

We had fun attending two birthday parties this month and enjoyed eating two differet awesome cakes!
Brennan is 3

Zane is 1

Here's what we eat about once a week. The dishes might not recieve any awards for looks, but they sure taste good!
These are beans.

And these are worms. Just kidding. It's pork and eggplant.

And my favorite (minus the oil): eggs & tomato.

And the winner of the Josh look alike contest is... (drum roll please...) Caedmon!

Lil & Cade's first day of preschool.

"Xia ci jian!" ("See you next time!")
