I feel so blessed to have this wonderful family! I must admit that 8 years ago when God promised me all this and more, I didn't really think it was possible. "Obey Me and I will bless you and YOUR family" All glory to Him who keeps his promises!
As blessed as we are, we still have our struggles! Ava, who is definately an answer to our prayers, is challenging me DAILY! After the birth of our second daughter, Molly, 14 months ago, Ava has been occasionally playing "baby". I understand that. But for the past couple of weeks, she has been acting like a baby more often than like the big girl she is. I feel bad because it really aggrivates me and it embarrasses ME. When we are out in public and somebody politely asks her a question (i.e. "What is your name?") and she stares at them blankley with her tongue hanging out and grunts. She is VERY intelligent, and I am so proud of that. But it gets under my skin when she does that to people. I have been dilligent about praising her when she is a big girl, and ignoring her when she acts like a baby. But it doesnt seem to make any difference.
I hope she outgrows this quickly, she is such a sweet little girl.
Thanks for letting me vent!

Wow - you are a beautiful family AND a fabulous writer. We can't wait to see you Saturday! God's blessings upon you~ Corinne
Hah HAH! I knew I'd get everyone over to the dark side of blogging eventually. Welcome.
Oh, and before you get into the trap of thinking that you have nothing to blog about, read some of mine from the past few years. Nothing spectacular. (And this goes for all of you - blog more! I'm living vicariously through you!)
Hang Tuff Chrissy. That problem will get better but there will others that it's place. Just take a deep breath and enjoy it all.
Mikayla totally went through that phase! Just keep letting her know what is acceptable & what is not- she will get it.
I can't believe how awesome it is that everyone is doing blogs! Yay!
