2. Conversation that we had at the dinner table.
Mom: I wonder what Darth Vader does in his spare time?
Sam: Maybe he had a cooking class. 
Dad: You know, he would throw the carrots up in the air and cut them with his light saber. They would be cut up and cooked at the same time. 
Mom: Hey I wonder if the Darth Sidious and Darth Vader ever just chilled and went out for  drink?

3.Lili: Mommy, I just threw up in the toilet!
4. Lili: COuld you make me some Rabioli because that's easy on my tummy?
5:Lili: I wish we has a robotic room where you could push a button and the walls would open just like this. (arms opening up)

Pictures of the Day: Squirmy 14 Month Old






O.k. so these are not my best but I am convinced that I would have to move at the speed of light to take pics of the little busy bee that is Abigail. It was actually funny and there was no frustration involved. Just a lot of running. Any of you feel the same? I guess it's her job to explore and learn about this awesome world that the Lord created for her. I would just like one pic without her screaming. 
I remember when Carlye, Grace and Lili were little it was as if the camera was made to photograph them. The instant a camera was displayed they would start posing. Abigail does not care and really would rather there not be any cameras. That way there would be no interruption to her exploring. But I, as her mommy, feel that I just have to capture that little pudgy face. It's my job.

Picture of the Day: Newest Member of the Family

I just wanted to introduce you guys to the newest member of our family. His name is Christian and hopefully, he will be around for a long time. David's cousin Rob and his wife, Shanon, are in the the process of fostering and hoping to go through adoption. He just turned 1 in January so he and Abigail are very close in age. We are excited for them. They tried for 6 years for their first child and another 5 years then they both decided that adoption was the only option at this point. The amazing thing is that Rob is a circuit court judge so he sees the horrible things that these children, in the foster system , have gone through and he was still more than willing to bring this precious baby boy into their home. Rob and Shanon have a lot of love and I hope you will pray with me that Christian will be able to " stay with them forever" like Rob said.  Anyway, welcome to the family sweet boy.
