What's New on the Home Front

So since it has been a long time since I blogged, you get the blessing of a zillion pictures! :)

We had our annual Restorathon at the beginning of March. Josiah loved going up to the radio station for an hour or so, then he drove me nuts because he was so hyper! He got to help Mike P. erase the board and he also got to sit with Daddy while he was 'On Air' but J wasn't feeling very social at that moment.

 Becky came up for a quick visit and we all loaded up and went to lunch together. We only had the little ones but they were all crazy tired that day (which means they were cranky).

Michael had the opportunity to preach the last meeting of this season of Senior Patriots. Josiah was feeling social and actually got on stage with him and 'helped' him out with a balloon.

We started using a chore chart for little man last week. He has been doing a great job at getting his chores done with a good attitude. There was one day that he didn't particularly care to clean up the floor after he made a mess. That seems to be his least favorite chore to do.

 Here Jman is holding his arms up and saying Whooo! He was pretty proud of his work and we tried to make a big deal of being excited so he knew that we were happy with his hard work.

Becky came up this past Friday during the girls' spring break so we could see them and the kids could play.

 Sweet little Emmy!

 Mom and Dad made it over for a little bit to enjoy some grand kid time.

Look what came in the mail today!!! :) Cloth diapers for Tadpole! We ordered a neutral color pack that came with a bonus diaper. Isn't is cute?! My mom helped us out by making this purchase, thanks Nana!

 We wanted to use cloth with Josiah but since we didn't have a washer of our own at the time, and we only washed clothes once a week or sometimes every two weeks, we decided against using them. Lord willing, these will work out great for our family at this time and also help save money in the long run.

Michael has already given me his solemn promise that he is "NOT TOUCHING THOSE THINGS!". So will we will not being using cloth exclusively, especially that first month, but I am hoping that this will cut costs way down! And for the record... they are incredibly soft!

The Lord sent us two HUGE blessings this weekend. Clothes for our kids! We got a giant box of clothes for Josiah and Tadpole got an armload of clothes as well. It is pretty incredible to see how God provides for our every need!

I am sure there are a handful of other things that are noteworthy but my little guy is fixing to wake up... thanks to the dudes who are drilling what I think to be a well. Anyways, its loud. So I am off to finally get that load of laundry out of the dryer! :)

Little man is noq awake and cranky...
