What a face!

Party at our crib

Last night Toby had a prayer meeting with her group of friends.  I was tasked to watch our kids.  I find it much easier to do this when there are friends over to keep everyone occupied.  So we invited our homeschool friends over some play time at the Theule house.

From 3p to 7:30p, we had 9 kids (ages 14, 11 ,11 ,10, 9, 7, 6, 3, 3mo) using 4 skate items (boards, scooters, etc), 3 computers, 2 Nintendos, 1 Leapster, buckets and buckets of Legos, and 1 stroller.

Everyone went away happy.  I am very grateful for the space that we have in our new home to be able to host these great kids.  (And Toby is glad she wasn’t there.)

Sweet Moments

Max telling me a story while absentmindedly stroking Lucy’s hair…

Roly finding that other baby in the mirror, and excitedly smiling and cooing at him…

Lucy lighting up with joy when I told her that many of the trapped mine workers in Chile had been rescued (we had been praying for them)….

2nd Roly Photo Shoot

This actually happened when Roly was about 6 weeks old.  Here’s some of the treasures my friend Courtney shot that day.  I think they are stunning!  🙂
