What's up with us these days?
It has been awhile since I've updated our blog. Here are some pictures and a few words to help you understand just what we've been up to.
Sammy is now 3 and a half. He'll be four in April. Lately he gets lost in his imagination. He loves the movie, "Cars" and can often be found acting out scenes that include many of the characters. Last night he pretended to talk on the phone with Mac the Truck. He has learned his letters, loves reading stories, and most of the time likes playing with his little brother, Marcus. He's a little outdoors man, and we've been able to get out for walks through much of November and December. Recently, we've started finding nests in trees on our walks. Sammy is always thrilled when we find a new one, and insists on visiting each on we've already found. He also insists on saying "hi" to the cattails and "Mater" toy that we see on our walking route. He's my picky eater, who regularly throws up at the dinner table. I used to judge people with picky eaters - not any more. I've never seen anything like this little man. God knows how to humble us. He's a sweetheart who is learning more and more about obedience, forgiving his sinful mommy, and about the God who loves him unconditionally.
Marcus is 19 months, and has proved to be quite the handful. He delights in anything messy which makes his latest obsession with washing his hands quite ironic. Sammy made messes; Marcus brings destruction. In typing this much of the post, I have gotten up 5 times so far to get him out of things, and break up fight with Sammy, (mostly Marcus keeps attacking him, haha.) He's much more fearless than Sammy, and keeps me on my toes for sure. He's a little doll, though, which helps. He talks up a storm, and says so many cute things. He will say, "Yes, mama," "Need a mama, need a daddy," "On my Boyam, by self!" (boyam=bottom, when he goes down the slide), and so many more little phrases and words. He also LOVES to play outside, and I am so very grateful for the mild winter so far. Check out this cute little blondie.
Here they are together this fall. We spent a lot of time playing in our leaf pile. They loved it!
Baby boy number 3, yes we are having our third son kept me quite sick for part of August, September and October. Those were some hard months, that had me swearing I'd never have another child. Now, though, I'm very excited to meet our new little mister. He's due in early April. So, I'll have two April babies, and one May baby. Birthday's are going to be busy times for us in the future. Here he is today :-) Pardon the messy bedroom and finger printed mirror. The life of a busy mommy is never as clean and tidy as I would like I'm finding.

Peter is very busy these days with working at HSLDA, working for CAMCO Investments, looking for a new house for us, a new job, hunting deer, becoming more involved at church with local missions, a tired, pregnant wife, and two very busy boys. But, he handles it all with much class and patience. He amazes me some days. We did purchase our first ever minivan this fall which Peter also dedicated much time to finding, researching and purchasing. It's been a pretty hectic, and stressful several months for us, but the Lord is bringing us through. I'm still working part-time, but it's looking like come time for this baby, I'll be dropping that. I'm quite relieved. I need to slow down a little.
There's an update from us. I will do my best to update a little more often from here on out.
