This should work now...

Hopefully this video will work. I had just shared it from facebook before, and I think the settings were messed up. Sorry!

Lily and Levi quoting Isaiah 9:6


Merry Christmas!

Midweek Randoms

Today Asher turned 9 months old! I really don't know how that happened, wasn't he just born?!

I think I got all our Christmas cards done tonight. Just have to get stamps and send them off. 

I still have a lot of shopping to do and not one thing is wrapped yet. Our babysitter came today and I was able to run out and knock out a few more one-gift-per-store kind of errands. Such a blessing!!

We are teaching Lily and Levi Isaiah 9:6. They almost have it memorized! It's amazing how much little minds can learn and remember!

It is so hard to get a decent picture of three wiggly, squirming children! :)

I think my Endometriosis is back. It was "dormant" for the last nearly four years while I was pregnant (and the time between pregnancies was so short, it didn't have the chance to come back). The last three weeks have been hard for me. It's hard to be a happy mommy when you are hurting. I started back on the Endometriosis Diet (which is basically no caffeine, no sugar, limited grains/starches) and have seen some results! I'm so thankful! Please pray for me if the Lord brings me to your mind.

Currently: I'm sitting cross-legged on the couch in comfy clothes, the heater is running, babes are soundly sleeping, and hubby is writing emails. I need to start the dishwasher, wash up the bottles, brush my teeth, check on the babes, and get in bed. 

Happy Wednesday!

Fun Family Night

I feel so bad for neglecting my little blog. I miss all of my blog friends soo much and I miss sharing our lives. Hopefully I'll get back in the groove soon. Lots has been going on around here. With tons of Christmas things and spending time with family, and really, just life with three little kids is busy. 

I feel the need to say, that NO, I'm not pregnant. :) Over and over I've had friend's who blog frequently, suddenly have a blogging break when they are newly pregnant. I just wanted to clear up any suspicions you might've had. :)
Last night we had a fun family night. We made homemade pizza together, and while it baked, we made  snowmen. Last year, just Lily and Daddy did them, but this year we all did. 

Our snow family on the refrigerator. :)

After our yummy supper, the kids opened their Christmas jammies and Lily and Levi got Christmas books. 

The traditional "picture in new jammies" was pretty much a fail this year. I was only using my phone and Asher was not a fan of sitting still for even two seconds. Oh well.

Another attempt. 
Yes, Asher is actually going to have to get some other Christmas jams (probably the ones Levi wore last year) - I bought them from a consignment store about a month ago thinking they would fit just fine around Christmas. Ha!

Asher was done with pictures! 

We read our Christmas stories and watched Charlie Brown (with chocolate chip cookies) to finish off the evening. 

I'm so thankful for my sweet little family! Even through the difficult times we have as my babes are small, it's these special times I pray I always remember.
