Colorado- here they come!

This last weekend Matt left for Colorado with his girlfriend Caitlyn. It was hard to see him go - I did great until the final goodbye and then I cried like a baby.
He had a job interview the next day after they arrived and guess what! He got the job- Thank You Jesus!!
(Please pray for Mark- he is struggling with being away)


It was a nice weekend with Matt and Caitlyn. This was her first time meeting Emma and Ellie. All the kids love her! She is a special Ed Preschool teacher- talk about perfect! As you can see all the girls were all over her!

Billy came home over the weekend, too and again the girls were all over him!
Thank goodness our big kids eat it up!!


Every once in awhile they need a break from all the love. So we made the basement an older kids only zone! The girls are tempted to go down but the know the rules. The big kids come up when they want to hang with the younger kids, chat with us or eat! It has made it so Johnny can have his High School friends over without getting bombarded by little sisters!


It does warm a momma's heart to see the kids together- littles with big and big with littles!


We do work hard to be there for all our kids. It is very important to us to give each one time and attention! I am so glad the big kids love to come home and chat with us!


Emma and Ellie are understanding what we say. The English is still coming very slow BUT it is happening. They are now saying cute little phrases like- I don't know? I love you? Oh My Goodness! Let's go! Time for bed! Good Morning!


Sarah's Chinese is doing well- she is remembering more and more. AND yes, they do talk about me sometimes- I just know it!
