Holy, Holy, Holy Rollers

Leave it to preachers' kids to run around in circles, chanting "Holy, Holy, Holy," for a game. I'm not quite sure where this game came from, but it was a lot of fun for them. If only they were always this happy!

Can't Help But Smile at This

It's been fun for us to see our children's personalities emerge around the four month point. Elliot has a very infectious smile and laugh when he gets going. Check it out.

MOSHing

Jess and Elliot were in Chicago for the past several days, so I decided to reward Annika and Sam with a trip to the MOSH (Museum of Science & History) in Jacksonville for putting up with me for several days. We had a great time together - other than Sam's freaking out in the planetarium. Annika and Sam got to pet an opossum (not pictured), baby alligator (fun!), and a tortoise. We had a great time today. Originally I was going to take them to the zoo, but our unseasonably cool weather (low 60s) drove us inside. I'm glad it did.

3 months with Elliot

Hard to believe that three months have flown by. First are a couple of shots of the older kids mugging for the camera. Then two pics of Elliot at 3 months. I (Jess) am thinking he looks a bit like his Uncle Cameron in the close up :) Enjoy!

Oh yeah, the other kids are fine too.

Life has been a blur lately. I think it's mostly due to trying to figure out how to handle three kids. We were all sick for around a week recently, which certainly set us back quite a bit. We're enjoying our bigger family, but it sure has been an adjustment. We promise we'll have a more substantive post soon. Thanks for being patient with us!

Captain Personality

Sam is trying to get on Project Runway. What do you think? Can he make it?

Happy New....woah where did January go?

So most of you have probably all but given up on our blog. Honestly, January ran away from us when we weren't looking. Our family has been on lock down since Wednesday with the stomach flu, but we've been uploading some pics that we hope to share with you soon.

For those still hanging in there, thanks for your patience!!
