Crazy Life

Well, I haven't blogged in a while due to a huge wedding order for my business, Scarlet Oak...nice plug, heh?...three sick children, two with sinus infections, a sick mommy, and piles of laundry! What a crazy month it has been!  Here are some updates on the kids:

Owen is still growing like crazy and says anything and everything he hears!  The other day while we were driving in the car, he said was very concerned because he could not see the moon as it was raining and cloudy...my favorite kind of day!  He kept saying "where is the moon? I don't see it."  Then the clouds broke a little and the following dialogue happened...

Owen: I see it!  I see the moon!
Mommy: Yay! You found the moon Owen!
Owen: The clouds covering the moon...Hey moon!  Where are you?  Moon?  Moon, come here right now!
It was pretty adorable!

Asher is still our sweet, happy boy that leaves the talking to Owen.  He can now sign All done, and More.  His words consist of down, wow, hi, yay, and woah.  He loves dogs and barks like them too!  He also loves music, and raises his hands in the air and directs...it is so cute!  

Knox is growing up so fast!  He loves to be held, smile and talk, and he is so bright eyed and alert.  Although he has been our most difficult baby, he is such a blessing and we can't imagine life without our little man.

I have been reading Phillipians...not as much as I should...and I have been so convicted and encouraged by it. I see the recurring theme of Rejoice, and it is such a great reminder that even in the hardest of days, I can rejoice in knowing that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and King, and that he will give me the grace and strength to press on.  It is a wonderful book and I would encourage all of you to read it!  Here are some of my favorite verses: 1:6, 2:3-8, 3:14-16, 4:4-8, and 4:13.  Enjoy!
