Day By Day - Photos from this and that

Photos from this and that

I've been lack about blogging and posting pics - so here is a hodge podge post to catch up! ;)

J3 has discovered he is now old enough to climb Grandma & Grandpa O's tree:

For about a month - we had a Venus Fly Trap plant - again, I.AM.NOT.A.GARDNER!

On Easter Sunday, DH was a Roman guard and spoke two times at a local church:

The boys and I missed church as J3 had a fever and DH could not do the speaking and keep an eye on the boys. So we stayed home, but we did head over to Grandma & Grandpa O's (next door) and hunted eggs and had dinner:

Yes, he did eventually find it! lol

Yes, that's me - it might have been sunny - but I was freezing!

J3 and J1 hunting

Carson is doing some "extreme" easter egg hunting!

When my Grandma died, we had to cancel our vacation plans, but that meant we could go to the Middle Earth Festival. Here, J2 and his friend, Joseph are enjoying this photo opportunity with a Ring Wraith!

and admired a very tall dwarf:

The boys dressed up for my Grandma's funeral

They don't look like it in this photo - but they really enjoyed being so good looking!
Here is J2 and C1(my sister's oldest):

How are you doing? I was thinking about you today. I hope you are doing well.

Your little men are so handsome. I know that you must be very proud of them.

I hope you have a great week.
Blessings,
Amy Beth <><

About Me

Day by Day....we strive to learn together, love each other and have some fun. Day By Day.... we strive to raise our boys to be knights and warriors for the Lord. Some days it's a struggle...

Cast of Charaters

Me - I like to read and knit. I've been a Christian for many years and loving learning about God and seeing the Lord work in our lives! I also post on my other blog, "Journaling Back To Joy"
DH - Is a theologically trained teacher of 4th graders at a Christian school. He loves astronomy, LOTR and playing with the kids! He is the funniest man I know.
J1 - 12 - our oldest. He came to live with us when he was 16 mos old and completely turned our lives inside out! While he is struggling with self-control right now - he is the one who can brighten the room just by smiling! He loves creating things from our recycling and anything that allows him to move (trampoline, skateboards, inline skates, etc)
J2 - 11 - our middle son. He is the one who I am currently homeschooling. He loves to create things from Legos and he loves movies. He would watch movies all day if I let him :( He has just had a major breakthrough in reading - for which we are praising the Lord!
J3 - 6 - my joy. He has a very tender heart for me and really works hard to make me happy. He loves to cuddle and is just learning about Legos. He wants to be with his big brothers so much, but the age difference is a big hurdle right now.
Joshie - 5/29/02 - 2/22/03 - Our surprise! Our only pregnancy that the Lord allowed - and we were blessed to have him for those short mos. We are all still grieving his loss - you'll hear alot about that from time to time. We look forward to getting to know him someday.
