Sunday Morning

Just to prove to you that I do bathe my children and comb their hair I thought I would post some pictures from this morning. We clean up nice!!

You know, it always kinda dawns on me that we have FOUR kids when I see family pics. I look at them and it is like it hits me!

OK, first of all, I made sure all the children had red/white/blue clothing for 4th of July pictures. Then I forgot to change them and remembered as we were walking back into the house. I am truly debating posting these pics because the kids look totally thrown away. This was the first day in a while that it didn't get up past 100 and they actually got to play outside.

Obviously, they didn't care. They had a great time. Chris went and bought some redneck fireworks and we (ahem, he!) set them off in the back yard. The kids LOVED it. They thought is was the greatest thing ever. We should get out more.

Ava

Sunday night (actually early Monday morning) Ava spiked a high fever and had a febrile seizure. Chris and I rushed her to the ER (so thankful for our wonderful neighbors who came to sit with the other kids). She is doing much better and is smiling, laughing and walking around just fine.

God has been so good to us. One year ago He gave me this beautiful, healthy baby that I didn't even know I wanted. He has blessed me so much with all of my beautiful children... but I will always look at Ava and see His grace. When I found out I was pregnant with her I wasn't exactly happy. I had other plans. God has shown me that His ways are so much better than mine and He knows what He is doing. Thank you Lord for giving sweet Ava to us and for protecting her Sunday night.

Email from Jake's Pre K Teacher:

Rev. Vinson's Golf Skills

I am very impressed to learn that Tiger Woods can hit the golf ball as far as Rev. Vinson!!! My job brings so many smiles especially when I hear how proud the children are of their parents.
