Report cards:)

So the big girls got report cards this week and we had P/T conferences....I am so proud! Sarah is reading at least two levels higher than her peers.....her teacher didn't have time to test to see how high she is. On her assessment she read 155 words in 5o seconds! and could recall every detail!!! She got a ton of E's(exceeds the standard)


Katie is also an exceptional reader...they have "word wall words" also know as high frequency words. She read them at 100% accuracy!! She also got alot of E's and made her Mama so proud.


Dan wants me to home school the girls next year....the thought scares me. I'm afraid I am not qualified and that I won't have time to meet everyones needs. I guess I'll wait and see what God has in store for us.
Elijah sat in the high chair for the first time yesterday, He's still not eating solids, but sat in there during supper. He looks so little.......

Lijah is sitting by himself, but i was afraid He'd fall over so thats my fat self behind him.Playing ball! Katie was rolling it to him and he was eating it lol

Church day

So I didn't get to sit in church too long today before Lijah got hungry. So into the nursing mothers room we go. Technially you can hear church in there, but it's difficult. usually there is a baby or two crying....or in our case a big baby boy screeching! That would be mine lol. So we sat around chatting about babies. Turned out the lady beside me has a five year old girl with CHD, so we talked about that a bit. It's weird when you find someone who has similar experiences......sort of like you found a new family member.
After church I hit the grocery store....and forgot half the stuff I needed. So Dan gets to go back in the morning, lucky him.
Not a very exciting day, but nice...lots of family time:)

I can't help it.....

my kids are just too cute not to show off:)

He fell asleep on my lap.......so sweet

His sisters decided this was a nice hat for him...LMAO He better get use to it I think.

All the kids, keeping it real. Janna was throwing a major fit and Lijah wanted OUT OF THERE!
Strike a pose.

Special hearts

So i started this blog without a purpose.....Then reading Nathan's blog at cfhusband got me to see the power behind words on the screen.
My daughter Katie has heart defects, has had two open heart surgeries and is possibly facing more......
1 in aproximately 100 children are born with heart defects(CHD's) Have you ever heard anyone talking about it? Unless it touches your life directly, you don't hear about it.......thats how it worked for us.
So it is my goal to raise awareness of a disease that touches so many, yet isn't "heard"of.
God made my girl with a special heart, the perfect heart for her.
