Indeed, nothing is more critically connected to happiness—both our own and that of our children—than how well we love and support one another within the family... M. Russell Ballard
We can't wait for you to come home, babe. Here are some pictures just to make you miss us more. I thought that the video was cute. A little bit of a headache but cute... :) See you in 20 hours!
Just a little video to help you feel like you're not missing anything. We have such an incredible little family... We'll try to hang in there until you get back.
Some pictures of my parents' grandkids. It helps that we live less than 10 miles away from each other. On John's side there are (I'm counting in my head, and I hope that I'm counting everyone...) 21 and 1/2?? Unfortunately, we're spread out in four states and it's tough to get everyone together. When we do, I'll post them as well. I love family! Love this shot! I told them to do "silly faces". Hmmm... I stole this one from Lana's blog. Love it!
Hopefully John doesn't notice that I post this picture... :) I love him as "Lion Daddy".
Gosh, isn't that a great title? I wish that I had something equally exciting to elaborate upon, but alas, the happiest that I feel is from what you see in these pictures-- happy kids and big, fat grins. There is nothing like a big slobbery smile to warm your heart.
I can't believe how quickly Rachel has grown. She is nearly rolling over both ways, loves to sit up (although we still have to help her-- she's got a Martineau head you know), and adores her big brother (and I think that she's kind of fond of me as well-- I am her food source!)
Daniel is also loving his little sister. Each morning he'll ask, "Where did Rachel go now?" even when he knows very well that Rachel is in our bedroom-- ASLEEP! He is still talking up a storm and anxious to be into everything. He now uses his indoor riding toy as a stepping stool to get into a whole new world of mischief. I'm glad that we have a small home-- it's much easier to keep tabs on him!
Enjoy the pics!
Also celebrated Johnny's birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABE!
