The List & A Helping Hand

So how did I do on Tuesday's list?  I accomplished all (and then some) except for numbers 3 and 4.  Those will be done tomorrow hopefully.  Tonight all I have left to do is treat myself to a s'more (yum!) and get some much needed rest.  Ella and Ruby have been waking up at about 6:15 (when Daddy heads to work) every morning and I am less than thrilled to start my day at such an early hour.  Isn't sleeping in supposed to be one of the perks of homeschooling?  ;)

My view in the car these days.  Love it!

Isn't his smile infectious?

On a more serious note, I wanted to share about a tragedy going on in Victoria, Australia.  Bushfires have taken the lives of 181 people thus far.  It's so incredibly sad.  You can donate directly to the appeal that the Australian Red Cross has set up OR buy a beautiful print by Ms. Emily Falconbridge - see her blog here.

I also want to do what I can to help.  I am offering a photo session for $65 that will include 10 images artistically processed by me, in color and in black/white on a disc.  It must be this weekend (Saturday or Sunday).  The first two people to contact me about it will get the spots.  The total amount will go to the Australian Red Cross appeal.

Email me!

Today I want to...

Ruby, our beautiful, now 9-week-old puppy

1.  Have a nice lunch at Jason's Deli with family.

2.  Take the kids outside to play.  There is an awesome breeze today!

3.  Start my dreads.

4.  Organize the top of the chest of drawers in the kitchen.

5.  Mop the kitchen floor.

6.  Cook something.

I'll let you know if any of it got done.

Welcome back to life!

I am jumping back in to my life!  For some strange reason (hormones?), I have felt somewhat absent from my own life lately.  You could say I haven't been feeling quite like myself.  The shock of twins is slowly starting to sink in since we saw that adorable duo on the monitor last week.  I have begun to feel tiny little limbs poking at either side of my belly.  What an amazing feeling!  8 limbs in all directions.  The craziest part for me at the moment is feeling like I am 30-something weeks pregnant when I am actually only 17 weeks.  It's a darn good thing I really enjoy being pregnant and LOVE my belly.  And with the end in mind, how cool is it that we will be a family of 7 (eight if you count our sweetie pie puppy, Ruby)?  Awesome!  So much love to go around.  God has truly blessed us!!

My super duper awesome kids haven't shown enough of their adorable faces around my blog lately, so here ya go:

Ella, 4



Maya, 2



Camden, 5

Pssst... did anyone figure out yet that I will have five kids 5-years-old and under for a while?  Any and all prayers are greatly appreciated.
