Catching up...

Wow! Life seems to get away from us lately. I have good intentions of updating this blog more often, but sometimes you just can't!

Please keep praying for Megan! She is in so much pain right now, and we pray that God will grant her peace and rest. May the remainder of her days be peaceful, and soon she will be dancing with Jesus! That is her biggest wish! Megan is so precious and we are so very proud of her strength through the pain. She can be lying in bed saying "ow!" and in the same minute blowing someone kisses goodbye. Bless her heart! We love you Megs!

This week we have had a couple of beautiful days, and were blessed with the chance to get outdoors and enjoy them. Here are some pictures of the boys playing at the park:
Can you believe how big Avery is??? Wow! And he starts t-ball practice Tuesday! He's so excited!!!!

Silas is so happy! He LOVES the outdoors and climbing on everything!


My baby is growing so fast! He loves to slide. I climb up behind him and then Avery catches him at the bottom. Avery takes good care of Nolan!
We took some time before one of our many trips to Home Depot to spend time riding bikes in the driveway. Nolan doesn't "ride" but uses his feet to walk his "bike" down the driveway. Avery needed some help remembering how to ride without training wheels, so Daddy helped. Here are some pictures of the boys riding:










And finally, the house progress. I didn't take pictures upstairs as we still having painting to do and there is tape everywhere. But I did get some pictures post painting and pre flooring. Steve has begun laying the hardwood, so it won't be long and I'll add pictures with the new floors too! Enjoy the progress pictures (sorry it took so long!):




This is a view of the master bedroom from the living room. It is a beautiful shade of blue, but it is hard to tell from this picture.



The kitchen. It is so dirty right now, but why clean it yet? We've been using the counters as our "catch all" area!



The living room from the kitchen. We have lots of trim work to do after the flooring is installed, but you can get an idea anyway!





The dining room. All of the boxes in the pictures contain hardwood flooring. Steve has 900 square feet of it to put down!!!


These pictures only provide a small glimpse of what we have been up to. We just sort of "go with the flow" lately as it is the best way to accomplish all that needs to be done for us in the next 6 weeks! I'm trying hard not to overdo it, and just allowing myself to do the best I can!
Through it all, the kids have been so wonderful. They have been very resilient and accomodating lately. I think they are so special! And so understanding! I'm proud of ALL of my boys!!!
