Update on the Buddha

Yes, I am have been guilty of calling Ford a little Buddha ever since he started sitting up as a itty bitty baby. Why? Because he sits straight up when playing on the floor with his legs crossed and doesn't go anywhere! So...the little Buddha will start physical therapy in the near future to encourage some movement. The doctor is convinced that there is nothing physically wrong with him, he just has a very laid back, easy going personality and is in no hurry to get anywhere. We'll keep you updated on progress being made.

He sure does make up for his lack of movement in cuteness though. 

Easter 2013

We had a great Easter and pray that everyone was able to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior. 

Living He loved me. Dying He saved me. Buried He carried my sins away. He justifies freely forever.  One day He's coming. Oh glorious day! Oh glorious Day!

The Easter bunny hopped by to pay Olivia and Ford a visit. 

The Easter bunny got no help from the peanut gallery. 

The kids and I went to Memphis Wednesday thru Saturday. It was a nice visit. This is the only picture I got the entire time. Four kids in the same household can be a bit much.

Pops reading the bedtime story to the middle two. I'm not sure who's having a better time, pops or the two kids.....

Olivia was so excited about what the bunny, rabbit as she says, brought her. If you look closely in their baskets you will notice some Mickey and Minnie goodies. Yep, the first trip to Disney World will happen in May in the pop up camper. We will have two happy little campers on our hands and I am so excited.

I am convinced that a decent family photo may very possibly NEVER happen. I guess we will never forget our reality with a one and three year old.

These kinds of pictures are more fun anyway, right???

Poor Ford was sick and running fever and his mean mom made him dress up anyway to get some quick pictures. On another note, I now see why people give me strange looks in the grocery and at the park, my children look almost the same age. I think I might start smiling and saying yes, they were born 9 months apart.:) 

My precious babies. 

Cousins. 

Soon, very soon there will be one added to the mix.:)

Sooo excited about the millionth Easter egg hunt. Can you tell they both had their share of candy already?

I think this is the ONLY time they sat still the whole day.

What a privilege it is to celebrate the resurrection of my King. I am so thankful He paid the ultimate price for an undeserving sinner such as me. Happy Easter! 

Bedtime....

...or at least that is what's supposed to happen anyway. Are all kids like this??? We will bathe Olivia, let her have some play time or watch a movie, brush teeth, read a book, prayer time and then put her to bed around 8pm. Or so we think. This girl will sometimes play in her bed for up to an hour and a half before finally falling asleep. She does the same thing at nap time. It varies each nap and night time as to what you will find in her bed when it is finally quiet and safe enough to enter in and check on her. Do you see all those books? And, of course, the flashlight is a must have during all this playing. 

She is a one of a kind.
