various happenings from the last few months...

Valentine's Banquet and Date night (to the ballet)

Kyria was there, too... but no picture? hmmmm.

My Anya Ruth is **4** now. I can not believe it. She is such a crazy baby girl some days and LOVES to dress up! She helps Mikalah keep me on my toes. 

  My 3 princess girls. 

WOW. My Kyria is **7**.... where did the time go? We got her a brand new Bible for her birthday, complete with her name on the front. She loves to get it out and read it. 

The Lord blessed to allow us to get a new refrigerator {among other things} and Mikalah had fun loving on Daddy while watching the men bring it in.

Just over 4 weeks remain until my due date {June 19} with Corban Malachi. We are slowly getting ready. I still have to pack- o dear. I am normally completely ready with all bags packed by now--wishful thinking that they would be born early. HA... never happened :). Prayerfully my body will show some progress at my doctor's apt next Thursday. These braxton hicks have gotten fairly intense at time-though nothing regular. I may not post again until after his arrival, but you can be assured: There WILL be pictures of him! :)

Spring 2011. {school picture & seasonal update}

Dont faint! I'm posting something {smiles}

Kryia Esther - first grade

My cutie pie! We are staying busy, busy, busy. and we have many pictures I could post, but they are all still on our camera. WOW. ok. that's not a good thing, but that's the way it is. I am purging 'stuff' and rearranging furniture {small stuff, hubby will move beds when the time comes!} in preparation for adding another blessing to our household. So, at the moment, there are piles here and there and bags to donate and bags to throw out. It is an unorganized chaos that apparently only I know how to right- haha. Baby boy is progressing nicely and getting bigger. You can kinda see my belly in our valentine photo.

John & Tascha - Valentines 2011

We have soil turned for our garden and seeds planted in starter boxes. We do still have 2 other little girlies- {grin} but as I said before, photos are still on the camera! They are growing like crazy, and Mikalah's pronunciation is getting clearer each day. She and Anya both have quite the imagination and can entertain themselves beautifully. And sometimes they even play together beautifully! I can hardly believe Anya will be **4** in 3 weeks, and Kyria will be ***7*** in just over a month! Where does time go?  Saturday will mark exactly 3 months left until my due date, and I hope to have more pictures posted before that! 

Piles are beckoning my organization... I can seriously hear them calling.

Well. Happy New Year!

Christmas Chapel

 2010 - Kyria was a star for her class poem/song 

and the choir leader liked it so much she asked her to wear it 

while the elementary choir sang 'Behold the Star'

Kyria's Christmas Recital

 She played 'Away in A Manger' and 'We Three Kings'

I hope to have the video ready to upload sometime next week.

It actually snowed on Christmas day here in the south. We had a wonderful Christmas and spent some special time with our girls though hubby and I were both quite ill the whole week of Christmas and are still recovering into the new year. We did share some special news as a Christmas surprise:

Baby Piatt
due June 2011
