Way too long.....

I can't believe it's been since the middle of December that I posted! My other blog gets plenty of posts (although not as many as it should probably).

So much news! Mario finally got his boy! Before you say anything about "we thought Jenn wouldn't be able to stop" check out the pic of said bouncing baby boy.....



He is adorable, energetic and definitely TROUBLE!! We're having fun with him, though. He's pretty darn lovable.




This picture is why we will NOT be trying for a boy after 6 girls...can you IMAGINE???? Those girls would have him in dressups all the time!




We've celebrated many events in the last couple of months! Alanna turned 8 years old....she asked for her own quad and bag...



She was also baptized...it was a crazy day...Alanna's baptism in the morning, and her cousin Kobe's baptism at noon. Crazy Day, indeed!



Sophia turned 16, SIXTEEN! Do you believe it? She's going on her first "DATE" this weekend....should be interesting....I can't be old enough to have a 16 year old, can I?



Gabby learned to make faces and tells me "mom, go get the camera, I'm going to do something funny!"



Isa turned 7 years old last week. She asked for a journal and some books...pretty easy to please if you ask me!



The first day back to school after getting the dog, Sammie got into Alanna's paints (that were supposed to have been confiscated for being left around the house....I very nearly went to pieces!



I've also been conducting scientific experiments....like, if I only sweep ONCE a day, how much garbage will accumulate??? It's not pretty....



Through it all I'm reminded that the sun still rises (photo SOOC). How can anyone doubt the presence of a higher being? I don't know. It seems like my lowest days have been followed by the most glorious sunrises. A reminder of the promise that He is there and He is with me.

Well, this is my long overdue update. I may actually get around to doing again sometime.
