A Little Update on the Kiddos



 We'll start with this lovely little girl.  Here she is in Eagle's Nest, having a little snack.  She loves hanging out here in the mornings while Mama teaches. 
Sweet Hope-isms:
 - saying "I Wuv You!!" when I put her to bed
- ecstatic when Daddy comes home
- still loves Strawberry Shortcake and starting to want Barbies
- her idea of bliss in 2 words:  Happy Meal
- wearing size 5T and she's still more than a month away from her third bday
- adept at wrestling with her brothers *sigh*
- meticulous about putting things back in the fridge (mama loves this)
- kisses me sloppily on the mouth when I leave to teach my classes
- calls her brothers "the boys" - example, "Where boys go?" 
- wonderfully feminine for being surrounded by little men :)

Hello Jeannie --
I stop in here every once in awhile because I like to hear about your family and your life. Miss you, Girl!! I also wanted to ask you if you have read One Thousand Gifts by Ann Vaskamp (I think that is the right name...) I have been reading her blog (A Holy Experience) for awhile and love her writing. I am only part way through the book, but think you would love it. I have Bittersweet packed to take on a trip next week -- can't wait to read that, too. Love you, Jeannie. Karna

Hey Karna!

Yes! That's funny b/c I'm reading that book right now! It's been good -- even with some of those hard sections!

I sure miss you and all the MOPS gals. We'll have to figure out how to get a coffee sometime!

Enjoy Bittersweet - that's a nice break from the deep stuff of A Thousand Gifts :)

Love you
Jeannie
