We are so blessed. This past week has been in the 80*s every day and the 60*s at night and we are just loving and laughing and playing and working and enjoying life to the fullest. Here are some pictures of our summer.</div>

Although the calendar said it was spring a while ago, winter seems to have a hold this year. Or maybe winter always lasts longer in Nebraska. Yep, we moved and now live west of Lincoln. In February Scott and I felt it was time for a change. Scott especially was ready to be home nights, (He had been working nights as a deputy for a few months and it was really hard for our family.) off work on Sundays so we could go to church and off holidays. Basically, a chance to spend more time with family and friends.<br />To make a long story short, we prayed for direction and ended up in Nebraska. We are close to several dear friends and Scott is working as a welder at a factory in Seward. He now works 1st shift, and we are loving him being home every night! We also love living in the country! We have a great rental house that has a big yard and room for a garden. (YEAH!) The boys are loving it.<br />And these boys are such a blessing! The love their little sister and Sarah is so much fun! I love having a little girl and have had a great time picking out her clothes and dressing her up!<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vYqvcNRx-0I/Tboj8NGOIpI/AAAAAAAABpg/2hGEO5BWmiY/s1600/010.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600828603803509394" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vYqvcNRx-0I/Tboj8NGOIpI/AAAAAAAABpg/2hGEO5BWmiY/s320/010.JPG" /></a> Scott telling the boys a story<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gCUYbvVvdZE/Tboj7g7R2qI/AAAAAAAABpY/rPnHw63G7HQ/s1600/009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600828591946455714" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gCUYbvVvdZE/Tboj7g7R2qI/AAAAAAAABpY/rPnHw63G7HQ/s320/009.JPG" /></a><br />Don't worry Marcus, the good guys win!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OPzqZ9gmBA0/Tboj7POjUzI/AAAAAAAABpQ/9wqbEU4ZUVE/s1600/028.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600828587195454258" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OPzqZ9gmBA0/Tboj7POjUzI/AAAAAAAABpQ/9wqbEU4ZUVE/s320/028.JPG" /></a><br />Our precious little girl!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Q4elhb_64E/Tboip11rr3I/AAAAAAAABpI/zU5hPIqn9co/s1600/030.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600827188810854258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Q4elhb_64E/Tboip11rr3I/AAAAAAAABpI/zU5hPIqn9co/s320/030.JPG" /></a> Paul is a great artist, here with his cowboy, cactus and sand.

And I have not run out of pictures to post. And I have really tried to post 3 times in the past month. But every time I do, I have had blog issues, or Internet issues and I can't post pictures, and since I can't bear to post without pictures..... I have not posted. Until now.<br /> I wanted to let you know we are alive, well, and looking forward to baby #5 arriving anytime. Hopefully by then I will have figured out what the picture issue is so we can post lots of great pictures of our new little one.<br /> But, until then, I will share some of the great things happening around here.<br /><br />Paul- Turned 5 the end of December and in the middle of a growth-spirt. I thought he would never out-grow 4T pants, and Marcus was going to pass him in weight and height, but it seems he is inching taller. He has loved playing in the snow. We have had snow on the ground for about 3 weeks straight, (amazing) and have done a lot of sledding and building snowmen. My treat from last year, (you can have one cup of hot chocolate after coming in from playing in the snow) has turned into a daily treat and I had to rein it back. So much for limiting sweets when you have snow this long!!<br /><br />Marcus- Has a birthday Feb. 6th and has been counting down the days since the beginning of December. This is a big birthday at our house because it means you are old enough to chew gum. He CAN'T WAIT and is looking forward to going to the store with Scott and picking out his own gum. Marcus also has been enjoying the snow, although not as daring as Paul and after hitting a tree on the sled, he took a break for a while. :) He has decided that if the baby is a boy we need to name it "Roy Rogers" because we need a cowboy in the family.<br /><br />Philip- Still a "little boy" he loves doing what the "big boys" are doing. And he can hold his own if they get into a scrap. We have worked on potty training all fall and winter and I think he is just about down with it. And not a moment too soon! Philip loves to sing and refuses to stop singing Christmas songs just because the season is over. I still hear Joy to the World and Go Tell it on the Mountain quite often. A bit of a slow talker at first, Philip's vocabulary has really grown this winter and one of his favorite words is "actually". "Actually MOm, that is a truck, not a car."<br /><br />William - Affectionately called "Baby Will" by his brothers, there is not a lot baby like left about him. Always trying to keep up with the others, Will is constantly into things. I am challenged daily to keep him productive and out of trouble. He loves reading books, which has been great for the often times I need a moment to sit and catch my breath. His vocabulary is also growing by leaps and bounds. His 2 big words right now are "applesauce" and "chap stick". <br /><img class="gl_spell" border="0" alt="Check Spelling" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" /><br /> Well, that's all for now!

A friend had given me matching shirts for the crew right after William was born and we have loved dressing them the same on fun days out together. </div><div align="center">This weekend at Walmart, I noticed a bunch of boys shirts on clearance and was able to replace the shirts, which were becoming quiet small. </div><div align="center">Due to the beautiful weather, I decided today was a good day for another photo shoot, although I guess I should have checked with Will, he was not the happiest fellow and it was hard getting him to stay in the pictures, let alone smile!

I am so behind in blogging!:)</div><div align="center">We have really enjoyed our new home here and being closer to family and friends from the NE Kansas area. And our big yard continues to provide us with hours of fun outdoors. Even when the temps are in the upper 90*s, since we have such great shade, it makes it much nicer to be outside. (Well for some of us! :) Paul has been learning how to ride his two-wheeler bike with training wheels and would gladly be outside at 105* just for a chance to ride!</div><div align="center"> Here is a smattering of pictures from this summer.

To put it all short and sweet, Scott took a new job with the Geary County Sheriff's Dept. To those unfamiliar with Kansas geography, this is about 1 1/2 hours closer to my folks- right on I-70. The main town in Junction City, pop. about 22,000. So a bigger department, better pay and the best part- he is working DAYS now!!! He works 12 hour days, 8-8. He works 7 days out of 14, so long days at work, but a lot of days off too! We are really loving it. We moved the first week of March- we are renting a small, (half the size of our Ellsworth house) house in Milford, a small (200 people) town north of Junction City. Although the house is small, the yard is huge and the boys and I have loved having space to run and play. We have our house in Ellsworth on the market and would appreciate your prayers for the whole process of selling out house.<br /> The boys are doing great. Paul is so quick, you have to really watch what you say. He is working hard on his alphabet and can write almost all his letters from memory. He still loves any thing about cowboys or guns and can't wait to do a lot of fishing this summer. (The town of Milford sits on a huge lake, the boat ramp is 2 blocks from our house.)<br /> Marcus is our quiet boy who loves to play by himself. He really enjoys reading with Mom or Dad and learning his letters with Paul. He wears his cowboy hat all the time and loves our daily walk to the post office for mail.<br /> Philip is full of energy and attitude. He has Paul's athletic ability and is always trying to climb things.....yes Mommy gets her exercise chasing him. :) He loves puzzles and balls and Daddy coming home.<br /> William is 8 months old- wow does time fly! He is crawling very well and sits unassisted. He has cut his 2 lower teeth, and likes eating "real" food now. Another Mama's boy, his favorite thing is to be held by Mom during any meal when I am trying to feed myself and at least 2 other people. :)<br /><div align="center"> WEll, that catches you up a little bit! Hopefully I will keep the blog up better this summer!Enjoy the pictures!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/S9UEC-kjcfI/AAAAAAAABjQ/72QrFPxdwO4/s1600/047.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464278172086530546" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/S9UEC-kjcfI/AAAAAAAABjQ/72QrFPxdwO4/s320/047.JPG" /></a> I was warned there could be snakes here, but nobody said anything about Indians!</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/S9UECRc5vHI/AAAAAAAABjI/pR1hgzO10R4/s1600/046.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464278159974841458" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/S9UECRc5vHI/AAAAAAAABjI/pR1hgzO10R4/s320/046.JPG" /></a>The not so lethal bow, with no arrow :)<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/S9UDUycuqyI/AAAAAAAABjA/cFkRamBZGRM/s1600/045.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464277378558503714" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/S9UDUycuqyI/AAAAAAAABjA/cFkRamBZGRM/s320/045.JPG" /></a>Every Indian needs a tipee!

William is doing great- the boys love cuddling him and helping get diapers for him. Fall has arrived and we are enjoying cooler temps and Paul is very happy that Mom lets him wear long sleeve shirts everyday! Thanks to generous friends and family I have a lot of new and used clothes for the boys for winter, and I am half way through switching from the summer clothes to the winter stuff. This is a bigger job each year! Scott was able to take off work for about a week for "maternity/sick leave" so we have enjoyed extra time with him. Unfortunately, he has also had to take off some authentic sick time because this past week I came down with what appears to be Strep A and tonsillitis. But he has been a sweet heart and taken great care of me and the boys. I think we are all ready for Mom to be back on her feet though! :) Here are some pictures of the last month, enjoy!</div><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvSBxCI-rI/AAAAAAAABco/qlV1844uZI0/s1600-h/IMG_5936.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385128707235576498" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvSBxCI-rI/AAAAAAAABco/qlV1844uZI0/s320/IMG_5936.jpg" /></a> Look who is 4 weeks old!</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvSBo0AVnI/AAAAAAAABcg/z0xMtVZZhTc/s1600-h/IMG_5930.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385128705028806258" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvSBo0AVnI/AAAAAAAABcg/z0xMtVZZhTc/s320/IMG_5930.jpg" /></a> Playing at the the park....it is hard work climbing up the slide!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvSBDZeYsI/AAAAAAAABcY/wAwT6c2HX38/s1600-h/IMG_5925.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385128694985417410" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvSBDZeYsI/AAAAAAAABcY/wAwT6c2HX38/s320/IMG_5925.jpg" /></a><br />These boys love to swing high!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvSA6CSnxI/AAAAAAAABcQ/j739elb1Z8U/s1600-h/IMG_5924.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385128692472258322" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvSA6CSnxI/AAAAAAAABcQ/j739elb1Z8U/s320/IMG_5924.jpg" /></a><br />Marcus and a not so happy William :)<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvSAu_AxTI/AAAAAAAABcI/dySTsdQszaw/s1600-h/IMG_5923.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385128689505715506" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvSAu_AxTI/AAAAAAAABcI/dySTsdQszaw/s320/IMG_5923.jpg" /></a><br />Our little cowboy and his brother<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvRqNxrGMI/AAAAAAAABcA/23vESyqIM6k/s1600-h/IMG_5921.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385128302634277058" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SrvRqNxrGMI/AAAAAAAABcA/23vESyqIM6k/s320/IMG_5921.jpg" /></a> We were delighted to spend a couple of days at "Papa and Nana's" early September as we celebrated with them Elizabeth's high-school graduation. Although I did not get any pictures of the actual party, or all the wonderful friends that were there to help celebrate, I did capture a few precious shots of time with the family.

As I looked over all the pictures I have since last time I blogged, I realized how behind I really am! Hopefully I will get some more pictures on here soon. But for now I wanted everyone to know we are still alive and well!<br /> We have been gardening, (yes, I have a small garden! Yeah! The boys love watering it and watching for produce to be ready.) Swimming, playing, keeping up the house and a host of other things. The past few weeks were tough on Scott and I as we both lost a grandparent. Scott's grandpa passed away the end of May, and my maternal grandmother died mid-June. What a time to be grateful for family and the support of those you love. We were so glad we were able to see Scott's grandpa just a week before his passing.<br /> My grandma had been in poor health for a long time, so we were thankful that her suffering is over and were able to rejoice in time with family together. (Yes, I did fly to NY for the funeral. Scott stayed with the older two boys and Philip and I were able to spend time with family. IT was a very precious time.)<br /> Of course the end of June brought Scott's birthday and we enjoyed helping him celebrate- we are so grateful for such a wonderful husband and daddy! He loves Italian food and so I made manicotti for his "meal"- or as Paul renamed it- "man-in-potty". :)<br /> The boys are growing and changing every day. Philip is beginning to walk all over and it will not be long before crawling is a thing of the past. The older boys love trying to help him.... and he is fairly patient with their efforts!<br /><div align="center"> I will try to get more pictures up soon! Until then- we pray you are enjoying your summer and filling it with time spent for the kingdom!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SkwhN0KbhOI/AAAAAAAABUw/a1flH91M344/s1600-h/IMG_5560.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353690578261083362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SkwhN0KbhOI/AAAAAAAABUw/a1flH91M344/s320/IMG_5560.jpg" border="0" /></a> Cousins having fun- May 09<br /><br /></div>The Ansonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08096310327431515387noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27443661.post-58997066378581854512009-05-17T20:07:00.000-07:002009-05-17T20:32:05.854-07:00Spring boys<div align="center">This spring has been a wonderful time to be outside. We have really enjoyed a lot of trips to the park, and of course working in the yard.(We have even planted a small miniature garden!) The boys keep us busy and we could not be near this happy with any other type of "busy" that there is.

This last week we made a quick trip to Chicago to visit his Grandpa. Grandpa had been feeling poorly, but after further testing the doctor says the cancer has spread through his body and he probably has only a few weeks left with us. Scott's Mom is taking a lot of time of work to be with him and we pray the the Lord will be merciful and he will not suffer too much. It is particularly hard for Scott to be so far from family in a time like this. Thanks for your prayers!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>The Ansonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08096310327431515387noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27443661.post-43264991640431139832009-04-27T19:54:00.001-07:002009-04-27T20:15:27.155-07:00Picture post<div align="center">Well, I am so behind on posting that I decided to just do a huge picture post... and try to catch you up on our lives!

Now I really have to check his pockets in the wash though, they can have 20 "gum" wrappers stuck in each!)<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SfZwH0nfLFI/AAAAAAAABO0/zUs3YZbpd5U/s1600-h/IMG_5519.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329570488725220434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SfZwH0nfLFI/AAAAAAAABO0/zUs3YZbpd5U/s320/IMG_5519.jpg" border="0" /></a> Helping make supper...<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SfZwHpk9u5I/AAAAAAAABOs/mQ1KQ1ANf3k/s1600-h/IMG_5520.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329570485761850258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SfZwHpk9u5I/AAAAAAAABOs/mQ1KQ1ANf3k/s320/IMG_5520.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Someone likes things spicy! :0<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SfZwHdWLZmI/AAAAAAAABOk/qmUHqzfvrzg/s1600-h/IMG_5522.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329570482478605922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SfZwHdWLZmI/AAAAAAAABOk/qmUHqzfvrzg/s320/IMG_5522.jpg" border="0" /></a> What a funny boy!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SfZwHQjvNoI/AAAAAAAABOc/jfJpjSCZNY0/s1600-h/IMG_5525.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329570479045817986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SfZwHQjvNoI/AAAAAAAABOc/jfJpjSCZNY0/s320/IMG_5525.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Smile!!!!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>The Ansonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08096310327431515387noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27443661.post-90072613204312444012009-04-14T19:11:00.001-07:002009-04-14T19:51:13.839-07:00Dinning room update :)<div align="center">Well... the dinning room is a lot closer to being done and I LOVE IT!!!!!! Scott and I had worked on it on and off for several weeks, and then we kind of hit slump and the poor room was neglected for a while.

We enjoyed many days in the 60's and the boys loved spending more time outside. With all the extra time outside I was reminded of the Lord's wonderful plan in creating seasons. Although I generally dislike winter- it is a great time to do things indoors. Not just extra projects like sewing or painting. But regular stuff like laundry and dishes. It is not hard to be motivated to work indoors when it is 15* outside. :) However, with beautiful weather outside, do you know how hard it is to motivate a 3 year old to do the dishes? (Not to mention his mom!:) I suddenly remembered that during the summer I find it hard to acomplish ANYTHING inside! And if not for those days that the temps reach 100* and we hide in the air conditioning, we would probaby have no clean clothes or healthy food all summer long. </div><div align="center">So while I eagerly await the warmer months and green grass and flowers, I am blessed again with a lesson in contentment as we still spend many days indoors. Indoors working, playing and learning- "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:...</div><div align="center">And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God."

Or perhaps a nice dinner out. This year I got my valentine early. Since this fall I have started planning and looking at ideas for making this house more beautiful. We don't have the budget for huge projects, but every few months taking a room and subtracting some floral wallpaper from the home is a worthy goal. :) I was really content just planning and leaving the work to the "someday" category. Last week my spontaneous and sweet husband decided to make some plans reality. He loaded the family up and we headed to Salina and Lowes and Walmart. After shopping for an evening we headed home with the tools, equipment and paint to begin our transformation. Thank you my love for such a great gift!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SZzjqfFJIJI/AAAAAAAABME/zIYh0FAZZ8g/s1600-h/IMG_5330.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304364780172681362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SZzjqfFJIJI/AAAAAAAABME/zIYh0FAZZ8g/s320/IMG_5330.jpg" border="0" /></a>The naked dining room- well, mostly :) </div><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SZzjqcKWeNI/AAAAAAAABL8/uXtY2l7YSY8/s1600-h/IMG_5332.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304364779389221074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K5JFFQCTCdw/SZzjqcKWeNI/AAAAAAAABL8/uXtY2l7YSY8/s320/IMG_5332.jpg" border="0" /></a>How old do you think that carpet is???<br />And why cover hardwood floors?

Some people like them, some don't, but it has worked great for us!</div><div> </div><div>We are about half done with the wallpaper removal.

When asked "Is today your birthday?" he would respond- "NO"- "Do you want some cake?" - "NO"....... The poor guy did not know what a birthday was! By the end of the day he had decided it was a good thing though- and after a lot of work will tell you his age upon questioning. Well, actually he tells you he is 3 and then when you say "What???" he says- "Paul's 3, you (what he calls himself) 2." So cute!<br /> For a boy who was not that excited- we ended up with a lot of pictures.

It is his job to fold them and put them away. I was folding a not so small mountain of clean clothes next to him and encouraging him along the way.

(22:6) That promise motivates me on the days when all the boys seem to do is fight. It challenges me when I want to take the easy road and just put a movie on while I make supper. It encourages me when I hear my son ask for training. For although he does not realize it, he is learning to love listening to Mom and Dad. He values our opinions and wisdom. He needs our counsel. He wants our help. Some will say- "Enjoy it! It is over too soon, he will know everything before you know it. Then there is no need for Mom and Dad"</em></div><div align="center"><em>But I have seen the fruit of good training- I have experienced it. My parents were some of my best friends all through my growing up. I never hit that age when I did not need them. Sure, I wanted to decide things myself after a while, but I wanted their input and their counsel. I knew they had experiences that would help me.</em></div><div align="center"><em></em> </div><div align="center"><em>I want that with our boys. Marcus is testing us a lot right now. I pray daily that I do not miss his small attempts to connect with Mom- because I am so busy disciplining his wrong behavior. I want him too- to desire to be trained. </em></div><div align="center"><em>Training- "This is the way we peel a cucumber", "Daddy goes to work for us so we can have a good warm home and good food to eat.
