work out

Yesterday evening I had her
"work" with me in the kitchen. . . bless
her heart, she finally got pretty tired.

then this morning she was
up with the chickens &
we started working
out right after breakfast. It's
hard work for her to hold her
head up in this thing.

then BOOM she got her second wind. I
have looked at this picture all
day. Makes me happy
just to see her.

& of course the back view. She
likes to look outside.

then brother got in on the session.

Well People

Long time, no see. . .

as a matter of fact. . .
long time no anything. . .
long time no soaking in tub
long time no browsing in stores
long time no mop my floors
long time no read a book
long time no clean laundry
long time no dashing in2 a grocery store
long time no nap
& last but not least,
long time since I ate a meal with both hands.
Doesn't happen
sin & unrighteousness
Period.

  But the flip side of the coin is I have 2 cute miniature Allison's everywhere I go. I love it. Bodie Lee got here April 22nd, a whopping 8 pounds & 7 ounces. I thought he was a hoss for sure. He LOVES to eat. I don't think the doc thought he would be so big. Even tho I couldn't "feel" anything during the C-section, I felt them give a tug followed by muttering. I later learned they had to make the incision bigger. Funny stuff. Then Josh kept asking the Pediatrician if everything was ok, I think the man thot we were one strange set-up. He finally asked if he should make something up, because he was after all a healthy child. Now it is nearly 2 months later. . . & we're just trying to keep up with the kiddos pretty much. I will show you some of my favorite pics. Several of you in the big world have asked me if I would EVER blog again. Well let me just say, something incredible just happened 4 and a half minutes ago. . . . they both fell asleep. So out comes the computer.

She's not so sure

A few days old

& then a few more days

Found this on the camera, apparently
dad likes the butt view.

Not to toot my own horn, but I do
love these kiddo's hair.

Another funny thing about dad. . .
notice the hair bow on the CHAIR?
Should be in the HAIR. But boys and bows
don't mix.

There. . . people. I blogged. Now I need some chocolate.

Silly Family

Yes, these are the people I live with. I do have it rough :) We 

have not fell off the earth yet, I have just been

huffing around my house frantically trying to breathe.

Couldn't someone have told me how hard

it is to maneuver/breathe/live with 

a full-term pregnancy? I really had no idea. 

I told someone at church yesterday that it is 

quite a thing to have a mini Josh performing an Iron Man

in my very own belly. Today is exactly 4 weeks until he is due

to make an entrance. I have a feeling that (Olivia & my) days

are about to have a drastic change of course.

I cannot even fathom what she is going to think. It'll be funny to see.

No entertaining stories about Josh this time, of course he has done 

many insane things, but Miss Jones is hollering to get out 

of bed so I don't have the time to "relay" the stories. :) next time. . .

Happy Monday, my friends.

Pigtails

& for those of you who asks if she still
does the standing table. . . She does =)

Energy

  I'm sorry I don't have any new pics of Olivia. We did get her a few new clothes yesterday. She has decided to explode out of the old ones. . . & thank goodness we have some hand-me-downs. How I love those. I looked at the little boy's clothes and decided it will be fun to dress him as well. The little button down shirts are positively cute. Mercy. While being preggo with a boy I have come to the conclusion that you live in a permanent "hotflash" . . . while I hear women talking about such, I must admit I never realized how much they can overtake a person. Also I have these weird bursts of energy. . . So I have been doing some one-on-one time with my friend the sewing machine. I put some things on an "Etsy" site, and I put the link up at the top left corner of the blog, "LizzyDeane". You will have to give me some constructive criticism while I am wallowing around in my world of hotness. Now I must go give munchkin her breakfast. Usually it involves bananas. How humans can digest those yellow things is way beyond me. Adios.

toil on

  This morning I was reading in one of my favorite books "Streams In the Desert" & often the days reading hits me between the eyes.

 Today it was about a man that visited a school for the deaf & dumb. He wrote on the board, "Why has God made me to hear and speak, and made you deaf and dumb?" A little girl went up and wrote on the board, " Even so Father, for it seemed good in thy sight". Further on down the page is this paragraph,
 . . .  I can still believe the day comes for all of us, however far off it may be, when we shall understand, when these tragedies that now blacken & darken the very air of Heaven for us, will sink into their places in a scheme so august, so magnificent, so joyful, that we shall laugh for wonder & delight.

  It makes my soul cry, I have to hear those things. My beautiful handicapped child is teaching me to know God. The very things that seem so scary and far off often helps us the most. So toil on my friend, someday it will be sparkling & clear. I know everyone doesn't have a handicapped child, but for you it is something different that I know nothing about. Good day =)

happy feet

Not sure what this move is. Thought you
might know.
