June pictures! #1 of 2

 It's been a little busy over here... not like we have FIVE kids under the age of 8 or anything, huh?  So... first off - here are just a FEW of the pictures from the last several months:  

Sisters - and little sis is finally able to "match" with enough hair for pigtails.

Baby Addie (this is all from June) sportin' her new wool diaper cover, thanks to her talented knitting great-grandma (thank you, Grandma!!). 

 Can you believe how BIG these kids are getting??  What ARE we feeding them?

 Trip to old local school museum. 

 More fun in the back yard:

 Fun at the local regional park (that we love!) with our homeschool group:

 Who's eating pieces of banana - feeding herself?  Oh yes, she is!

 A bit of dress-up...

 And sillies!

 "Family night" for our church's VBS:

More to come... let me just do something productive - like make dinner - before I upload MORE!  :)

Family Photo

 

Did I mention we got an updated family photo?  It was taken back in December!  Even since then, oh how they have grown!

More in April...

 Our girls were gifted, blessed with fold-up-n-go type doll houses.  Arielle particularly is enjoying the big one.  We are so thankful!

 I started feeding Adina bits of mashed food, in this case mashed avocado.  She loves to eat. 

 Evie had a blast feeding her baby sister...

 In other news.... we have chicks!  Three Buff Orphinton chicks and we also have ducklings! 

 This is the best one I could get of Zeph with a chick because he doesn't like how they flutter and move - it sort of startles him... but he did want to at least pet them :)

April 2013 - first half...

Earlier this month we did a little backyard campout - well, mostly the guys camped out - I slept inside with baby Addie but Scott, all the kids and another family joined us.  Please be in prayer for this dear family, as they have a brand new baby at a nearby hospital who is awaiting a heart transplant.  They did the "camp-out" with us to give their children a little fun during all that has been going on since their precious baby brother's birth.  We had a little fire, sang some songs, roasted hot dogs.  I didn't catch too many photos, just one of the baby outside and one of the men pitching the tent.  

 I took some photos of Addie and Zeph together because we plan to have them both dedicated at our church together!  ...

 It took some "action" photos of Zeph... the office that builds his prosthetic leg has asked if we would be willing to share pictures of him using his prosthetic leg on their web site.  Sure thing!  They absolutely rock... I'll post a link when they are up on there :)  Here's our very active little boy:

 Random pictures of our girls...in car seats.
