The World According To Murray!

Murray's world has changed a bit over the last week or so...

He is seeing things in a new way, now that he can pull up and stand up. He is doing it more and more. He has a lot of energy, he's a mover.

Here are some pics I took of him today standing in the Pak n Play. The other 2 are from a couple of days ago.

Cooper Shane!

Just thought I'd share the latest with Cooper. He is getting big so fast! He'll be 4 in March. Now that Carver, Tegan, and Sadie are in school, it's fun to get some more one on one with Coop. He takes after Carver and Sadie in the area of drawing. He draws a lot, and loves it!
We're amazed at all the different kinds of faces he draws.
He also loves playing outside and getting filthy!
He is also a sweet and tender-hearted little guy. He often says out of the blue, "I love you Mommy".(Of course he has a lot of "little stinker" moments too!)
We thank the Lord for all our children!

Sadie is enjoying first grade!

This is Shandy...Sadie brought her home last week from school. All the children get to take her home for a week and write in a little journal all the things they did with Shandy.

Sadie and Shandy had a tea party, and they also took a nap one day.

I can't believe that our little girl will turn 7 soon!

No, we have not fallen off the face of the earth!

But, you'd think so, huh? It has been 2 whole months since I updated my blog. Pathetic! I guess I just got out of the habit of doing it weekly. You'd think now that Carver, Tegan, and Sadie have started school, I would have more time for this. However, life is still very full! Cooper is going to Mother's Day Out at our church on Wed. and Thurs. He finally loves it...that took a while. But, now he really enjoys going. Murray is 10 months old! I can't believe our little guy is almost a year old!

Anyway, here are some pics of the last couple of months.

I will try to do better at getting back in the routine. I didn't think anyone looked at our blog....until I talked to someone at church...thanks, Nita.

I just have to say that God is so good and I am so thankful for a God-fearing husband and 5 wonderful children. Every day I am reminded of what an overwhelming responsibility it is to be a godly wife and mother;and how much I fail at it. Praise the Lord that His mercies are new every morning and His grace is so amazing!
