A random update...

So what have we been up to lately? SURVIVAL! Not that anything has gone really wrong but it seems as if we are just barely hanging on some days...I am sure all of you can relate. But we have managed to do a couple of fun things.

A couple of Sundays ago we made these...Eliza loved treading the noodles onto the pipe cleaners. We had to make Liesel's for her because she was too busy eating them. Then we tried gluing the noodles on paper...again Eliza loved it and made three whole pages covered with noodles and Liesel just ate the noodles...and the glue.

Then this last Sunday we put curlers in the girls hair. Neither of them really like it but I love how their hair looks when it is done. Daniel took this picture while he let me nap (what a saint). When I saw this picture I was reminded of when I was about 5 and my mom gave me a perm. I had a picture taken too...I think I was grinning just like Liesel.

Lydia seems good. She spends most of her time in the swing...mostly because that is about the safest place for her. Too bad she still has been poked in the eye, covered with a flying coat, and hit with a beach ball (not to mention all the things I didn't see) sigh. Maybe by the time we have another baby the girls will understand the meaning of soft...then again maybe not.

I have been thinking about my friend Rachel lately. She woke up on Sunday to a blizzard and went to bed with and eye patch, scratched cornea, and a brand new car in the shop after sliding into a pole. Poor girl. Then she found out her daughter is allergic to penicillin. But she is handling it all with grace and humor. I love you Rachel.

Daniel is at class tonight. He seems good. We just found out that Daniel's mom might come out in April to visit and give us a much needed weekend away...I can't even begin to explain the excitement that idea is bringing...Thank you sooooo much Grandma Nancy.

And on a final note...I love this new web site from the church about Jesus Christ. It is the perfect time of the year (with Easter coming up) to be reminded of Him and of all that He has done for us. I know there is no better gift than that of the Father giving His son! Happy Easter everyone and my God strengthen you as He is us!
