Random Juli, Vol. 1

My daughter sometimes says the most random things. I thought I would share it with you...

So, while John and I were cooking on Monday, I put Sesame Street on the big TV. When we came back, Juli had lined her dolls and stuffed animals on our couch. John asked her what their names are, and she went down the line, "This one is Brady, this one is Helen, This one is Hannah, this one is (fill in random normal names here), and this one is Vitamin, and THIS one is SELFISH!!!!

LOL!?!?!?

Blessed!

Sometimes I forget to give the credit where it's due. Sometimes in the fast pace life we live, I forget who's holding our hand and keeping us afloat. Sometimes I forget that everything that happens, good or bad, is just a little part of God's plan for us. So, praise him in your successes as well as your failures. We are Blessed!

Charbroiled

Hello again all! I'm so happy to be home! We did have alot of fun, although it was also pretty irritating at times. It was so extremely hot. The last day there was a heat advisory, and it actually was supposed to be 105 degrees. I'm not sure if it actually got all the way there, but it really felt like it! And, of course, I got sunburned- charbroiled, really. The worst part, though, was missing the kids. It was a nice break for the first day, and then I just missed them so much that I could barely stand it. So - never again. From now on, if we're going somewhere, we're taking the kids with us. Lesson learned!

Drum Roll Please!!!!

Dave and Bhakti are having a girl!!!!! John and I are so excited to have a niece on the way, and the kids are excited about the idea of a new baby cousin.

Well, we are off to King's Dominion in the morning. I'll update you probably on Monday!!

We Made It!

We're back! The trip to NC went relatively well. We didn't get to see Dave and Bhakti very much, just on the evening of the 4th, but she was looking very pregnant! They are supposed to go tomorrow for their ultrasound, so I might get to update tomorrow on the sex of the newest Paul.

On the good side, Harry and Bailey were with us the whole time! They even stayed at John's parents house. We felt so much more comfortable. And, it was just really good to see them. Hopefully, we'll see them again soon.

Katie was there the whole time too. The kids had a great time with her, and we were able to take all three to the park and to lunch on Saturday. I just miss her already.

Here's some pics from the trip!

Dad and Kids riding the carousel.

You can almost hear them say, "You can't catch us! Na na na na naaaaah!"

Katie, enjoying the carousel.

The kids rode the train around the park. You can see they enjoyed it!
