The belly...dun, dun, dun

I frequent a local message board that is booming with up-and-coming babies. So we recently posted our "belly pics" on the message board. Holy belly, was I huge. I mean I know my kids were 8lbs 5 oz, 9 lbs 11 oz and 9 lbs 11 oz....but boy oh belly! Here are my reminiscent belly pics!


In the hospital just a couple of hours before Benjamin was born!

This picture was taken 3 days before Nathaniel was born. I think that the summer of 08 had to have been the hottest one on record--either that or I was extremely pregnant!

This was our final snuggle of just Mama and the boys. We snapped this right before leaving for the hospital. Josie made her arrival only 3 hours later!

I'm sorry if you've had to shield your eyes! ;P

New Furniture!

Well, its official, James and I are adults! We now are the proud owners of a couch and loveseat (that match) with two end tables and a coffee table (that match) and two table lamps and a reading lamp (that match)....there is a theme here, it all matches! Here is Nate showing off his cheese and our new loveseat, table and lamp!

Just because I can't wait

I can't wait to post these precious shots of our kiddos!


Josie is all smiles in the bathtub!

Ben is full of smiles!

Josie has more smiles for me! Her hair is the best after bathtime too!

Nate snuggling on a blanket while watching 'toons

All our love!

Baked Potato Soup

This has become my new favorite for dinner.

I think it is Nate's favorite too! ;)

Say Cheese X 3!

That's right....all of my kids are full of smiles! Enjoy pictures from our week!

Ben, Josie and Nate enjoying the blanket that their cousins Kelsie and Kendra made for Josie!

Snoozin'

Smiley boys! They figured out they could both ride at the same time!

Having 'girl talk' with Nina

Josie's first smile caught on camera! She has the sweetest smile and has started cooing and talking too!

All our love!

Update from Papa Ron

"Arrived in Bujumbura on schedule just after midnight in the midst of heavy rain and lightning. Elie and Japhet were there to meet me. Both send greetings. .

I got a good night's sleep last night and feel almost human today. It is overcast, hot and humid today.

Japhet just called a few minutes ago saying that we could not get to Mutambu today because heavy rain has made the roads very bad and bridges are washed out as well.So much for the January dry season,I guess! The members in Mutambu will try to find a way to get to Bujumbura tomorrow and I can meet with them here.

It appears that wet weather might be a problem although Mutambu is the only real isolated camp on the itinerary.this time. Pray for favourable weather and good roads."

Ron is spending some time in Burundi through the beginning of Feb. If you'd be praying for him and the local Gideon's as they work hard to spread the love of Christ!

Rockin', Rockin' Green

I recently purchased a new soap for my cloth diapers. We were dealing with major stink issues and Ben even got an ammonia burn OUCH!!
I was a part of an online scavenger hunt in November that introduced me to the Rockin' Green detergent. I just got my order of Rockin' Green soap in the mail last week. I ordered the Lavender Vanilla scent--to die for! They have Grape Soda and Cherry Almond that sound good too! Well, I've already soaked and washed my diapers....I think we're on the stink mend. Josie and Nate have been back in the diapers for a day now, no excessive stink and no ammonia burn! Praise God!
So, now to the good stuff. Go to this blog http://mcmahonlove.blogspot.com/ and enter the giveaway. I promise you won't be disappointed!
