Across the Pond

Ben is currently on his way to East Asia. He will be there for 12 days. I am so excited about his trip, but of course it's bittersweet because we can't be with him. I am looking forward to what the Lord will do with his time there.

If you think about our family over the next 12 days please pray for Ben's trip and those that he will meet. Also, please pray for me to have patience with our kiddos and for God to give me much grace while Ben is away. Thanks!!!We have been at the lakehouse for the past few days. The kiddos were playing in a little blow-up pool out on the deck. Lydi does actually have swim shorts on, but TW... well, that's why I took the pic from the waist up:) He insists on being completely naked when he's playing in the pool. Life with boys is so much fun!!!

Our little Sam Sam is getting so big! He was 3 months old this past week. Time is flying by, and he is doing really well!

He Thinks It's Funny...

We enjoyed a visit from some dear friends, and Sam obviously enjoyed it as well. He was laughing so much, and I was fortunate enough to catch this episode on camera! Enjoy...

Other Than Laundry

I have some recent pics of the kiddos that I've been meaning to post, but haven't had a chance to do it. I had a few minutes, so I thought I'd post a few... This is what we are doing when I'm not catching up on laundry:)

This past Sat. we went to a picnic for the Central Alabama Chinese Association. Although, we are not Chinese, we were thrilled to be invited to attend. Ben has met a professor at AUM, and we were able to hang out with his family! The kids had a blast, and so did we. We were all so tired, and this picture was taken on the way home.

Our Little Sambo: He is smiling so much lately, and I can even get a laugh out of him every now and then. We are still having some issues with his reflux and possibly some food allergies, but I am trying some different things with my diet hoping that will help.


And Yes, once again our child looks just like their daddy! I think that Sam looks more like Ben than the other two do. You can't really tell in this picture, but when Ben holds him up and they are face to face the resemblance is almost comical!
Our newest family pic taken on a whim one afternoon... turned out pretty well I think.
Poor Thomas was bitten by a mosquito in his eye lid! This kid is highly allergic to them, don't you think? We didn't know what it was at first, but I remember Lydia doing this in Puerto Rico when they would bite her. She would swell and blister where the mosquito bit her. So, TW is no different apparently. Thankfully, she grew out of it!

HELP!!!


OK, friends and whomever else may read this from time to time. I am in desperate need of your help! Ever since we had Sam I cannot seem to get a handle on the laundry situation in our home. Before Sam was born I had a great plan and was only doing laundry two days a week. Now, I NEVER have it caught up. Currently there are 3 loads unfolded, one load folded, but not put away, and a partly folded load on our dining room table. So, what's a lady to do???? I can't get a good plan in place, it's hard to believe that one little person could throw off an entire routine! Any suggestions of how to tackle this mountain of laundry?
