Little Arrows

Trying to get all 7 of our children to look at the camera..........this is what life can be like sometimes as a mom of many to littles......you think you have everything figured out, everyone is dressed and ready and all standing in the right spot.....but they all still have their own little wondering minds! It's tough work trying to get everyone pointed in the direction you want them and and we are working very hard at it so when the time comes we will be able to shoot them out all pointing straight to the service of our Lord Jesus Christ =).

Mother's Day 2017

 We kind of last minute decided to drive up the road for Mother's Day this year to see our moms! Even though we live 2.5-3 hours away from our families, I hate driving with a breast fed baby who is used to being carried around and nursed on demand. We managed to get up the road and endured all the screaming from little Naomi!

 I know it means alot to our moms to see their grandchildren on Mother's day so that made the drive all worth it! We got to see Chris' parents and his sweet Granny who is 2 feet shorter than Chris so he had to bend done to take the picture...lol.

My mom is just so sweet and almost started crying when Joshua came and gave her a hug. Joshua is really picky with who he shows any affection to so it meant alot to my mom that he would give her a hug.

My mom is such a giver, she just cannot see her grandchildren without giving them something, so after we ate at my favorite childhood restraint Abis Azteca. She begged to take them to McDonald's across the street to get them ice cream cones and cookies.

So everyone had a fun day except Naomi who had a day full of tears!

Winter 2017

So hard to believe that 2016 has come and gone and we are almost done with February 2017!!! The children are growing way too fast for me!

Christian is for sure going to grow past me in the next year or two and little Miss Naomi is just as plump and adorable as she can be!

We made it past lesson 100 in our Abeka curriculum! Chris is working night shifts so I have the van all day to run the kids all around town to all the playgrounds, libraries and museums!  We got a membership to the Virginia living Museum which the kids love, they have some really cool exhibits and a planetarium!
