Because they're so stinkin' cute...

...and this way I don't have to write anything, but you all get an update!

Helping Daddy Work

The other evening we all went out to help Daddy work on his machine. The boys always get a kick out of being at Daddy's work.

Daddy's machine....

The big trees

Working on the processor....

Working in the dirt...

The girls played in the pickup so they didn't get so dirty.

I've been terrible...

I know I've been a terrible blogger lately. I am so sorry! Since arriving home, I have been more tired than I believe I have ever been. I do not know if it is from traveling, or having been sick, or maybe adjusting to 4 kids. Or possible all of those? Anyway, I cannot wait till I have energy again! Seriously, last week I was awake maybe 5 hours a day. That's not normal!

Everyone here is adjusting wonderfully to having a new sister. And O. is fitting in very well. Her brothers adore her and giver her just as much attention and affection as they give M. She sleeps great! Since being home, she has been perfectly on the same schedule as M.! They wake up together, eat together, take naps together, even fill their diapers together. They are offended if one gets their diaper changed without the other one. It's crazy! O. is 3 lbs lighter than M., however, if she keeps eating like she is, they won't be different for long! Okay, off to go check on everyone....

I turn my back for one minute....

Yes, that's creamy corn. All over my kitchen floor. Gross.

Our Ethiopian Princess

Finally an update!

We arrived home on Saturday at about 11:30pm. Sunday we relaxed, then yesterday I was very sick. I am feeling much better today, so hopefully it was just some stomach bug I picked up from the plane and not something from Africa. I tried several times yesterday to upload a video of O. laughing, but it would never load. This morning I tried for just pictures, but they won't load either. Maybe later today. Let me assure you that she is perfect and is fitting in quite well! She is a daddy's girl and loves her brothers and sister. More updates later.....

All packed up

All packed a ready to go. We head to the airport in the morning. It will be so hard to tell my family goodbye. But I am leaving on a mission. A mission to unite our family and make it complete. God is good, we are blessed, and we praise Him for everything in our lives.

I do not know if Jesse will have a chance to update my blog while I am gone. If not, I will be back with pictures and news SOON!
