John 3:3 "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Ephesians 2:8,9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." There is only ONE way to have your sins forgiven and only ONE way to be sure of heaven when you die. John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Wed, 9 Dec 2009 12:36:00 -0600 Wed, 9 Dec 2009 12:36:00 -0600 Here are some recent pictures of Ethan.  I uploaded the pictures from my camera today and noticed that all but 2 were of Ethan.  The other 2 were of our snowflakes and Thanksgiving decorations!!  I guess I should try to take pictures of the other kids, too ;)  Anyway, here they are. Look at the cute face--here he is trying to get to my laptop. Ethan trying to get into the cupboard--another cute face. Playing with his firetruck Talking on the 'phone' to Grandpa!! Trying on Dad's hat--notice the Sunday shirt, too--he went and changed his clothes :) http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/750758/ Wed, 9 Dec 2009 12:36:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/750758/ Look at that--I mentioned that the birthday cake for Daniel was planned for Tuesday night and here it is still Tuesday night (it's Tuesday until I go to bed, no matter how late I stay up!).  Anyway, Daniel wanted a football cake.  I think it turned out pretty well.  The kids were impressed, Ethan grabbed a piece out of one end before I frosted it, and Tom said, "Wow"!!!!! It was one of the easier ones.  Well, here are the pictures. Rachel saw Tom kiss me and leaned over and kissed Andrew!! (You can tell by his expression what he thought of it!!)  Rachel kissed him and asked me, "Can you put that on the blog?"  How could I resist?!?! There will more than likely NOT be another update before Thanksgiving.  We're off to my parents for the day.  Hopefully this 16 week old baby of mine enjoys turkey.  If not, I'm in for a rough day.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/747362/ Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:00:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/747362/ No pictures, no news, no nothing--I just wanted to make sure that I posted this before tomorrow.  That way I'm not late :)  Happy Birthday, Daniel :)  12 years old today--WOW!!  Since we had church all day today and we have church again tomorrow night, we're planning to do cake on Tuesday.  I'll take pictures then.  I'll also try to find some cute baby pictures and embarrass him :) http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/746804/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:54:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/746804/ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ETHAN!!  (Yes, I'm a little late, but such is the story of my life right now!)  Ethan was 2 years old Tuesday--November 17.  He was 15 days past his due date and a huge baby.  However, we're thrilled to have the cute, little guy in our family.  He's a sweetie and all the kids love to play with him, too.  In the past couple of weeks, he's gone from being a baby to being a little boy--I'm not sure I'm happy about that!  I want my baby to stay a baby a while longer :)  He's learning so many new words.  I didn't think he was going to talk until he was 8 (like Einstein!), but I was wrong.  Just this morning, he came into my room and then walked away and said, "See ya!!"  (It sounded more like, 'ee-ya', but you get the idea.)  It was so cute.  Anyway, here are a couple of pictures from yesterday.  He loves LOVES cars ('ars'), so I attempted to make a car cake.  It's far from perfect, but he looked at it and said 'ar'--it passed :) We put candles in his muffin for breakfast I told him to smile :) http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/745843/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:50:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/745843/ Ok, today I start what I hope will be the first day of review.  I'm still pregnant (14 weeks!), nauseated, and exhausted, but I want to catch up a bit.  A lot has happened in the last couple of months.  So, I begin with our trip to Kalamazoo, MI which took place September 18-19.  We took the kids to the AirZoo and camped overnight at a park.  The AirZoo didn't end up being as exciting as their webpage promoted it to be, but it was free!!  We had a good time and even went putt-putting later that night.  We also camped for the 2nd time--it was a nice night.   We left the top off the tent so we could see the stars.  However, it was FREEZING in the morning (we went to Mc Donald's and got hot chocolate!).  We were also about 100 yards from a railroad track.  Yes, a train came by at about 5:30am and blew it's horn no less than 1 zillion times in the next 20 minutes or so.  We could hear it all the way down the track.  For time's sake in getting caught up, I'm going to use the slide show thing again.  As soon as I'm caught up, I'll try to go back to just pictures--they're easier to look at.  Anyway, enjoy Kalamazoo!

Weekend with the Koski Kids http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/725439/ Wed, 9 Sep 2009 15:18:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/725439/ Happy Birthday, Goober!!  Andrew is 8 years old today :)  Andrew was born at 1:00pm at UM.  He was my first (but, sadly, not only) baby to cause back labor--ugh!!!  However, he was worth it :)  He was also my first (but, again, sadly, not only) baby to sleep through the night from day one!  He slept good, long nights every night except maybe 2 or 3 when he was several months old.  He was a great baby.  When he was old enough to walk, he would even walk into his room and put himself to bed :)  He still likes to sleep and waking him up is almost impossible sometimes!!! Happy Birthday, Andrew!!  Here are a few pictures of the little goober (our cute, affectionate name for him!!) Asleep on the changing table! A bit blurry, but that's Andrew and Peter http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/722956/ Tue, 1 Sep 2009 15:03:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/722956/ Peter is 10 years old today.  We didn't have a digital camera when he was a baby, I don't think.  If I can find some baby pictures, I'll post them later.  But, until then, ... Peter is 2 and 3 in all of these pictures. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/718156/ Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:15:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/WeadockWords/718156/
