Our Man is "4" and more....

 Yes, Yes....I know it has been forever and a day since I have blogged - but the house has been keeping us MORE than busy and we love it.  And, nope - there are no updated pictures on this blog, but very soon I promise!!!  Today I just had to get my bootie in gear and get these pics up of our Big Man who turned "4" yesterday!  He has been making progress in leaps and bounds and there are days I think "can he stop chatting just for a second" and then I laugh inside knowing this is what we have been waiting so long to hear.  He is full of expressing himself these days and mostly it is all good.  He has adjusted to our new house like a true champ and his new school just as well (to the surprise of all his doctors and teachers, but not to our Lord - who knows him best)!!  He still has the most amazing smile - I can't help but think he will win over his future bride with it one day!  He is our joy, our funny man, our tender hearted spirit and our lover of all things outdoors.  Happy Birthday Sweet Boy - We Love You!!!

As for our girls...Mercy is like Judah and LOVES the outdoors - really, she just loves life in general and I am soaking every single minute up of these toddler days.  Don't get me started that she is our last - the tears won't stop!!  She is chatting up a storm herself and has even learned how to sing "Happy Birthday To You".  She is attached to my hip and is a true "Mama's Girl" - but honestly, she is my last and I wouldn't want it any other way!!  With that being said though - one of the greatest joys I get each day is when Derek pulls in and she goes screaming for her daddy, it is the most precious thing ever!  

 

And last, but not least is our Selah Anne!!  Her progress in school this year is just scary...she is reading and writing unbelievably.  Her favorite thing to do is read her bible to us and go over a list of questions to see if we "understood" what she just read!!  She keeps us on our toes alright.  The other day I was blown away by the math sheet she came home with and that it was done all by herself.  Here is a shot of her at her school play - thanks Nana and Papa for sharing in her big day.  Kindergarten graduation is this week and that is another topic that will turn the water works on.  So, for now I will leave it at that and hope to blog soon about her graduation and our home!  Love ya all.
