Imagination

If you haven't noticed, I have been in a posting funk....It's not the lack of exciting experiences that is holding me back, but I lost my darn device that transfers my pictures into my computer. I don't love to post unless I have a picture to go along with it...(I've stolen the last few pictures I posted...desperate times call for desperate measures) So tonight I will test my writing creativity and try to inspire fantastic imagery and detail as I blog about a few events that are worth remembering......

#1 TRIP TO EDEN WITH THE GILES

Some friends of ours invited us to share their time share for some fun time...of sharing..for a time....(how am I doing?..are you getting vivid pictures of my family sharing time with another family...in a time share?) hee hee...Ok, forget the imagery, I think I'll just stick with some one liners...I might be better at that. Let me try again. Use your imagination.....

#4 BABY JACK
Love love LOVE him!!!
So cute and smiley
Making lots of adorable baby noises
Sleeping through the night!...(almost)
Kissed a thousand times a day
The Apple of his Daddy's eye

I can't possibly keep this category to one or two word sentences....We are so grateful for this sweet baby!
Words could never describe his cute face and sweet countenance. I love what having a baby has brought out in our family. Casie is SUCH a sweet sister. I loved watching her proudly showing Jack off to her cousins over the Thanksgiving holiday. She is so willing to help with him and does so much to help with her sisters while I am busy with Jack. I am so grateful for her! Annie loves Jack too. She always prays that Jack and I will "sleep good." Annie is my sweet friend and a wonderful older sister. Ellie, as expected is the second Mom to Jack. She begs to change his diaper and doesn't hesitate to pick him up if he even looks like he might fuss. She buckles him in and out of his car seat, gives him his Binky, and loves to bring him to me after his nap. She does the immediate "Mother Bounce" when she picks him up. It's adorable. I love that little princess!
Now about that Daddy...Mike is totally in love with his son! He adores holding him, napping with him and kissing him.(notice I didn't mention changing his diaper) But it's so sweet to see them together. It's like they are in their own special "Man Club". I am grateful to have such an awesome man as a husband....oh, and he is hot too. :-)

Well, that about sums it up. I didn't mean to make this a novel of a post. :-) If my little device doesn't show itself soon I might just go and buy a new one. :-)
