Eire's funny quote:

"I can play movies in my head to make me fall asleep, there are alot to choose from."

Peaceful Angel....

... hard to be upset at the little guy for not sleeping well when he's so cute! .... thank goodness for Ehre.and spring break she has been such a huge help in the mornings!

Scriptures outside....

Were also a big hit....only 7 verses in tonights chapter. Tomorrow we will enjoy 33 verses hopefully outside again.

A beautiful day deserves...

A yummy treat enjoyed outside...plus everyone had a good attitude while we were packing tonight. 

We may have a problem...

...Elise doesn't like change.

Today Elise

1. Wouldn't eat anything but breakfast or 1 fruit snack.

2. She wouldn't eat dinner and it was noodles and chicken a favorite... but she did have a piece of bread.

3. She was tired but still screamed at bedtime.

4. We finally got her up and gave her a sippy of milk..she refused to drink it till I handed off Beck and fed her myself on my lap.

5. Jeff and I are thinking she is jealous of Beck....this is going g to be an interesting ride.

6. As you can see she is now cuddled up in our bed next to me as I nurse Beck, happy as can be.

Where did our good eater and fabulous sleeper go? How long till we get her back?

I should add, anytime Beck is within eyesight Elise is trying to pat him, rub his head and give him kisses ( atleast 5 at a time!) The other kids adore him but are great at letting him rest.

... I can't believe that I have 4 angels in my house!

"Get me to the church on time..."

We made it! Even with an extra feeding and daylight savings!

Here is Beck in the outfit I made him, its a little big, but that's the case with all his clothing.
