"I know, O Lord, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps." Jeremiah 10:23

A verse that stuck with me in my morning devotions today. Probably because I have this little nasty habit of wanting to plan plan plan everything in advance. I like to feel like I have some sort of 'control' over what is going to happen in the near future. Haha... yeah... right.

As a side note, a dear friend of mine lost a friend of hers tragically two-three days ago. Her friend was 23 and died suddenly of a massive cardiac arrest. Please pray for their family if you feel so inclined. As you can expect this was all very sudden and very shocking.


The girls were all feeling a little under the weather yesterday. There was much crying in the household last night! I'm hoping today will be a better day. I've started putting the drops in their ears again, I hope that helps them. They just looked miserable.

Abby is sitting with me and watching Curious George... kinda wish I didn't have to get ready for school but it's nice at least to see her in the morning before I leave. Hopefully my mom is able to navigate the snow to get here. We've gotten a lot of snow, bitter temps and wind (ew) I'm ready for winter to be over!

My new glasses came in but I'll wait to have a picture of them until after I get my new haircut this Saturday. :o)


Kiley is really into books now (more than just eating them) She will bring them to me or just come and sit in my lap with them. It's really cute. Kara loves to tackle Kiley... or lay on top of her, or give her kisses. It's pretty cute. :o)

Mondays

Monday Monday Monday...

Does anyone else ever feel like the days are monotonous? Perhaps I'm just tired of the crying... there is so.. much... crying around here lately. I wish the girls would just feel better for one entire week... one week without the crankiness, green noses, draining ears, teething, loose diapers, cough... seriously I cannot remember the last time we had an entire week with all of them being healthy...

Ok. I've had my vent.

Kiley has picked up a few new words "Hi and Wow." It's funny to get her to say both. I believe Kara also says "Wow." I wonder where they picked that up? lol

Kiley's cardboard book massacre is still ongoing and the books are taking casualties, I wish at least she would eat the books I don't like. Apparently they don't taste as good.

We have had some long light snows, probably around 6-8 inches now? Hard to really gauge other than how long it took Tom to scoop our driveway.

Abby hasn't been feeling as well lately either, she took a 3 hour nap yesterday (unbelievable) Everything makes her cry which is hard... hence the crying bit. She is still very into playing "punzel' and has new hair every day. Her swimsuit Barbie is now known as "New Punzel" and spends a lot of time in the Little People castle. At least she hasn't been getting up for hours in the middle of the night!

*In the middle of writing this post Kiley just walked up to me and puked in my lap... awesome..."


Kiley & Kara love to dance, it is so funny watching them dance to music. They dance in church, to cartoons, commercials and even my singing. I had videoed it but can't find it, will have to make another one soon. They also love to fight with eachother now... it's enough to drive me a little crazy sometimes.
