Reasonable Resilience

Bath time fun in Arizona I'm in a basket and you can't see me. Apple Cider donuts just might be a little too good Lucy Baby Fall fun 2007

Here are a few pictures from my sister's computer. I'm beginning to think people are hoarding pictures. I love Grace. It was hard to find a picture that she wasn't smiling too hard in. Grace and Andrew are kindered spirits, with a little devil in each of them. Icouldn't pass up the beautiful eyes Looks like it's time for a new Christmas picture with all four kids

I realized recently that Eric has all of the pictures from Grace's first year of life on his computer. I am sitting at it right now and thought I would share just a few.

Today I have a preschooler... ...with an enormous backpack

These are things I find my three year old doing. She climbs into Noah's crib the minute he starts crying Daddy has an array of masks for her to try on in his office. (the princess shirt's a nice touch I thought) Elvis has returned to the building. And boredom ensues when we have a car ride longer than an hour. She found the swim vest and put it on without myself or Eric knowing (while buckled) And if that wasn't good enough, after a panic attack from not being able to get the swim vest off without Mommy's help, she put it on her head. Noah gets the brunt of it on occasion. This was before she took his diaper off to "clean his butt" She loves him a lot And she makes him want to bite his hand off. No really, he loves her

To those of you bugging me to add some pictures or something (clearing throat)...Heidi. Here you are, just a few Noah at 4 1/2 months or if you prefer Bubba And Grace the aspiring actress catching up on some very important reading almost 3 years

I've been looking at this blog for awhile thinking about what exactly it's about. I don't know, but it helps to know it's here when I need to write out something I can't express vocally. Eric got a contract to a church in a town close to my parents and two of his brothers. I don't think we're taking it. I can't decide whether I'm really sad, or if I'm being selfish by wanting to move. We won't stay in Saginaw forever. I have actually come around to liking it here because of the people we know, but I wouldn't mind moving to someplace I feel like I fit in. I told Eric I think we're changing our personalities to make ourselves belong here and I don't think God intended that. There isn't a good reason to move now, but I can't imagine our kids starting school and then moving after they become established. I guess we'll see what happens after Eric's year of school. Until then. I think I'm home
