Our first weekend here...

We packed up on friday and headed down or over  really don't know, all I know is that we drove and drove and all I saw was trees but anyways we headed to Eric and Angela's house for the night. It was suppose to be 2 hours at the max to get there. But somewhere in the middle of trees we got stuck in this.

And heard this...

And felt like this...

And it was because of this...

So needless to say our 2 hour drive that took us 4 hours was not the best start to the weekend.  But then we got there and had a great time. We split up for the night.

Angela and I went and did some shopping and then went to dinner. Then the guys went out.
On Saturday we just played around the house.

It was fun.We usually  get to see Eric and Angela once a year at least but the kids have never been able to meet each other. So it was fun to see their friendships starting.

The guys watched football and even Losiah began his training of being a sports fan.

We did face painting on the kids. My girls thought it was so great!

We got home and had cute little pumpkins in our home, dropped off by the Great Pumpkin named Joy.

Today was church and it was a rough morning. I was late. Which I guess is a big no no. I was stressed, emotional, and honestly I did not want to be there. I wanted to go back home and get my pj's on. BUT Eric and Angela drove up to go to our first day and so I had to go. It was so hard. The girls freaked. Oh it was just one of those days. Unfortunately it was my first day! We went out to lunch after  and started to burn up. I got home with the kids. She is screaming because she feels so bad. Losiah is screaming because he is exhausted, and then it happens barfed on the couch, THATS NOT OURS! Yep I am telling you I should have gotten back in my jammies today. Anyways she was so sad.

But she perked up and is better. But honestly the best part was when I got home from church and in between the barfing I saw this...

I am telling you peeps. We are not going to be leaving  Joy and Billy's home anytime soon. Not with all this love anyway.
So that was my weekend How was yours? H

Girl, I am praying for you, the whole vomiting thing made it through our entire family a couple of weeks ago, it stunk! I did do one that I did NOT regret: In the bucket we put a grocery bag filled with a few paper towels. It was MUCH easier to clean up!!! :) I pray NO ONE ELSE GETS SICK!!

Oh, I got here from your husbands blog and got there from somewhere else and boy I couldn't tell you where that was from but you guys are hilarious!!

Oh girl. You made it through the first weekend. I am proud of you. I love you girl. "Wife of the year" award goes to you today!

*YUM! Cookies!
*Losiah is so cute when he's upset! (I hope you can see that...even though it was making you crazy!)
*I've just spent two weeks with three little ones and a stomach bug. I hope Seanna feels better. The couch will clean. :-)
*Oh and I'm sorry Sunday was difficult. Did the kids freak because they were so tired? or because the church was so different? or ???

they just did not want to go. And because I was late i did not have the time to sympathize with them. They were fine once they got in there. They justed missed miss janie. H

[Miss Janie]

Oh man! You know I miss them too.

I know it feels like it would be easier to go home and hide under the covers whenever you *have* to do something and your kids are just making life hard. I have had many, many days where I am screaming at everyone to get dressed and ready, we are running late, someone is crying--usually it's more than one crying, someone spills something or poops on themselves. *sigh* And I'm like, "Why God? Why did I not stop at one child?!?!?! My life would be so much easier." Also, when your kids are so close in age you feel like you will never have an easy day ever again. Take heart, God is with you, He understands how you are feeling. The bible says "He will gently lead those with young..." and to me that means He understands if we are at the back of the pack because we have the important job of nurturing little ones.

I hope every Sunday gets better for you!

I'm sorry Heather. I saw you at church on Sunday, but I knew it just wasn't the day for introductions. I think Losiah is in Charlotte's class and Seanna is in Olivia's. We'll have to get them together sometime soon. At least there's nowhere but up, right?
