Prayer Request

Isabella is learning so fast. She is climbing on tables and getting into everything. I know how parents of twins must feel. Two! getting to everything in two different directions at the same time. Morgan and Bella have learned how to tag team me. They absolutely wear me out.



I am so ready to get back to teaching. I feel like no one is behind me in my quest to regain my independence, though. There are some that point out how bad the teaching job situation is right now and suggest that it would be better to sit still right now. There is some family members that let me know all of the bad things, according to them, that I do, especially if it doesn't benefit them. I do my best to help in any way I can, but it doesn't seem to be enough. I guess I am just frustrated at my situation right now, and I have to be patient to get to the place that I want to be. If you know me then you know that I am a very patient person. Very Patient. I just wish that my life didn't require quite so much patience. I prayed for patience once in college, and I guess I am being tested in that area. I have been trying to get in school for about a year now. There has either been the issue of of money or transportation. I haven't seemed to have both at the same time. I pray that it will come together this summer. I just need someone on my side. And logically I know that Christ is always on my side. That He has my back at every turn in the bend, but a lot of times I feel all alone in my quest.

I want my life to be consumed by Christ. I want to get up in the morning thinking on His will, go through the day thinking about His will, and go to sleep thinking on His will. My weak human nature must be sacrificed for His glory. All who read this, the one or two that do, please pray that I continually, actively seek God's will, and apply it to my life no matter how hard it may be.

Ice Skating

We took the girls ice skating today. Of course, I had to skate also! I am not that great, but Jadyn just had to have me on the ice. It was all that I could do not to end up on my rear. Brianna skates around as if she has been doing it all her life, but has only been about four times. They look cute don't they! We had a day out just to have fun. We skated and then went to Build-a-Bear afterwards to get clothes for the bears that the girls already have. They are growing up so fast. They had a blast.

Getting Off The Bus

This is Brianna and Jadyn when they just got off the bus a few days ago. Brianna was very upset at me that I didn't have a current picture of her up. The girls are out of school this Friday for a teacher day, so I am taking them both to the eye doctor. I know that Jadyn is a little young, but if everyone knew how bad my eyes are then you would understand. Coke bottle rims does not describe the thickness of my glasses in the second grade. They wanted to put a patch over my left eye so that my right one would strengthen, but I dodged that bullet. Brianna's eyes were tested when she was six, but she has been squinting a little and getting close to the books that she reads. I hope and pray that all three of the girls have eyes like their fathers, because I am near blind (ha ha).

Ok, so don't think that I am a bad mom or aunt, not just for these pictures or the fact that they seem to always just have a pamper on. I was washing some dishes, and things got a little quite, actually a little tooo quite. You know the kind of quite that only happens when kids are doing something that they aren't suppose to be doing. Morgan and Bella had snuck passed me, went into the laundery room and crawled into the dryer. They were having a ball. They were soooooo mad at me when I got them out.

Morgan and Isabella love to sit and eat cereal in the morning; however when Morgan finished her cereal she decided to help Isabella finish hers...... Bella didn't seem to mind. Can you tell which is older? Morgan( on the table) is three months older, but Bella out-weighs her. Madelyn, my older niece who is 7 loves to squeeze Bella's fat legs. She calls her the squishy baby.

This is one of Jadyn just being Jadyn. She has devilment in her eyes don't you think? I can't get her to stop too long to take a picture. She gets bored easily with the posing thing.
