At Samuel's request, Esther agreed to play that they were the "best archers in the world"!<br />
They successfully conquered all the villains that were plaguing their fair forest, and rescued the peasants under the the reign of Prince John and Princess Adaily. :)<br />

She's been using the books <a href="http://www.titus2.com/ecommerce/products/prod_listing.php/1100?related=1150">"Managers of Their Homes"</a>, and <a href="http://www.titus2.com/ecommerce/products/prod_listing.php/1150">"Managers of Their Chores"</a> by Steve and Teri Maxwell. We've been using little plastic pockets with different cards in them, so we know what to do next.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When we complete a chore, that card can be placed in the back. We've been using them in the morning, and everyone likes them!<br />
It's great for Momma, because she doesn't have to tell us what to do over and over again (or shouldn't have to anyway).<br />
Jacob is very proud of his vacuuming the dining room after breakfast job, and Anna is relishing her new ability to cook in the kitchen (she's pretty good too!).<br />

<br />
I love the starting a new year. It's a pleasure (or pain) to look back and see what you have (or in my case, haven't) accomplished, and have the chance to try again. Also, it's a good reminder of how fast time flies, and what little time we really have. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What are your goals for 2012? </span><br />
<br />
Mine are:<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e;">1.</span></span>To blog regularly.<br />
Anna is going to start writing posts, too, so with a bit of planning, this one shouldn't be very hard. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e;">2.</span></span> To get into an early to bed/early to rise schedule (I'm more of a night owl, so this will be a challenge!). Hopefully, doing this would enable me to have more time in the morning for bible reading and prayer, and keep me from being so sleepy during the day. :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e;"> 3.</span></span> Learn how to drive. I've kind of been dragging my heels on this one, but I'm starting to see that there are benefits in being able to drive yourself, so I'll try.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e;">4.</span></span> and last, but definitely not least, grow in <span style="font-size: large;">Godliness</span>. This one is always on my list of Resolutions!sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11246403486383361067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272337400239164054.post-58545007923955703962011-08-30T11:59:00.000-07:002011-08-30T11:59:31.229-07:00Birthdays and a Hospital VisitAs you can see from the post title, we've been busy.Life has moved at an accelerated pace the past couple of weeks, especially.<br />
<br />
First things first,<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"> Who Went to The Hospital?</span><br />
<br />
Daddy was in the hospital on the 23rd. The day before, he had had chest pains while at work. Because his blood pressure was soaring, the guys at work drove him to the hospital to be checked out. Momma was already out at the dentist, so she quickly drove over there to be with him. At first, they thought he had a heart attack, but not all of the symptoms he told them fit that. So that we wouldn't have to be alone so long, our grandparents came and stayed with us. The next day, Daddy got a heart cath done, and then they let him come home. He brought with him a relieved wife, a fruit basket from co-workers, and a sore back (from lying on a hospital bed so long). We're SO glad he's better now, and thankful that it wasn't a heart attack. Friends and family that offered support and encouragement were such a blessing as well. Thanks!<br />
<br />
And......<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">The Birthdays</span> <br />
<br />
I turned sixteen on the 23rd. That's right. While Daddy was in the hospital. :( It was still a pretty good day though, and I got a lot of sweet happy birthdays. <br />
<br />

<br />
Most of our trip was spent in the hotel room since the boys had to be at therapy two times a day, but we did get to go to a few fun places. One of the places we went was the Bluebell Ice cream factory! I would have taken pictures, but cameras weren't allowed. :( Daddy accidentally brought back one of the tokens though, so here's a picture of it. <br />

</tbody></table> We went on a little tour of the place, and got to eat ice cream afterward. I got chocolate-chip cookie dough (Yum!). Anna, Esther, and Jacob got the crazy colors kind, which turned their tongues blue. Anna's lips and teeth also turned blue, and she had to go for her eye therapy checkup with them like that. We thought it was funny, but she wasn't so amused. <br />

Early tomorrow morning we'll be leaving to go on a trip for twelve days. Today has been full of packing, washing clothes, cooking food, and wrapping things up.<br />

They all thought that was really cool. :)<br />
<br />
Although this will be a fun trip, we're really going for medical reasons. Samuel and Jacob both need <a href="http://www.snidertherapycenters.com/index.cfm?content.display&pageID=97">sensory therapy,</a> and I'm going for auditory problems.<br />
<br />
Well, I need to pack my bags!<br />

After spending time<i> painstakingly</i> searching the internet, I found this:<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sorry the picture is so fuzzy. The humidity made my camera lens fog up.</td></tr>
</tbody></table> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> I'm really pleased! The <a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46835&vid=1&pid=683764">skort</a> and <a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=53515&vid=8&pid=841430#">shirt</a> both came from Athleta, which was a bit of a surprise to me. I wasn't expecting to find something so modest from a normal store! I guess a lot depends on how you choose to put your swimsuit together though.<br />
<br />

Actually, it wasn't originally made to swim in, but it works for me.<br />

On Sunday though, our arms were sore. Ouch. Esther and Samuel went out and played a few games anyway, but Anna and I stayed in. However, on the 4th we were back at it! We seem to have gotten a little bit better with practice, so we'll keep trying. :)<br />

Everyone was sitting in the driveway enjoying the neighbor's fireworks. We've never done any fireworks before, but we like watching them (just as long as we don't have to pay for them).We sang a few songs, read a couple of verses, and I played a song on the violin. Afterward, some of us stayed out to watch fireworks with Daddy. It was a really good day. :)<br />

He found a Cicada the other day, still in his old, dirty skin. Cicadas live under the ground for up to seventeen years, sucking the juice from roots for food. They then shed their old skin (usually on a tree) and live as an adult Cicada for a short time. <br />

Right now we have a male Cow Killer (or a Dasymutilla occidentalis, if you like<br />
fancy-smancy names) in the house. <br />

My Mother is an incredible woman.<br />
She loves the Lord, she loves Daddy, and she loves us. She chooses to spend her time cooking, cleaning, changing diapers, teaching school, giving medicine, answering questions, washing clothes, scheduling doctor appointments, disciplining, listening, planning, etc, etc, etc. I could probably go on, but I'll stop there. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
In the middle of all that Momma is still patient with us, even when we're unlovely.<br />
<br />
She also happens to be one of my best friends!<br />

<br />
Everyone stayed up late on Friday night unpacking the U-haul truck and organizing her things. Momma and I are still working on her clothes, which she has in abundance!!<br />
<br />
Nana is such a blessing, and we all love her very much. She's especially popular with Jacob right now, who is following her around almost constantly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Goodbye until later!<br />

Since I said we had a surprise, I considered saying as an April fool's joke that we were going to get another baby. After thinking about it a bit though, I decided that it might not be such a good idea. :)<br />

She inspires people we don't even know with the differences that God has made her with. By overcoming the next challenge (learning talk without a lower jaw, using the bathroom with no hands etc.) she can bring glory to His name though her patience and diligence. She wasn't a mess up. Lydia was made just perfect. :)<br />

In the past few weeks, I've been doing a lot of brother/sister watching. <a href="http://growingandlearning-donna.blogspot.com/">Momma</a> has worked hard to meet a house-painting deadline she set for herself. She quickly finished painting a hallway, a bedroom, several doors and one of the bathrooms. Primed doors are so dark compared to the bright whiteness of painted doors! Mommy did a wonderful job, and it all looks great. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Momma, Anna and Lydia went to Birmingham for two days. Anna is nearly blind in one eye, so she has started doing<a href="http://www.snidertherapycenters.com/"> eye therapy.</a> Every month, Anna goes for therapy sessions, and Dr. Snider checks on her eyes to see how she's progressing.<br />

</tbody></table>Five things I love about Daddy:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">1.</span> His leadership<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">2.</span> How he seems to know everything about everything!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">3.</span> When he tells us stories<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">4.</span> His smile wrinkles :)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">5.</span> When he lets us (even me) sit in his lap<br />
<br />
<br />
I love you Daddy.<br />

</tbody></table> She didn't really like the idea of glasses at first, but now that she's had them a bit, I think she's changed her mind.<br />
