I haven't spent time to blog any of this years journey in over a year. I am realizing that as much as I wish I were better at writing and getting thoughts out and documenting our journey, I JUST AM NOT! I can barely take care of the day to day much less actually get a thought out on paper or even get a thought. :) It is something I want to get better at. I want to do a better job of keeping up with our memories, documenting our school journey and what life was like each year. I realized how bad I have done with this yesterday when I had the brilliant idea to make a yearbook of our school year and went to google photos and realized I have maybe two handfuls of pictures of us actually doing school. Like WHAT.IN.THE.ACTUAL.WORLD?!?!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, this year has been one of a kind. When the pandemic hit and Curtis was working from home I thought it was such a glorious time. Each morning and early afternoon was spent out in the front yard with our picnic blanket reading books, coloring, watercoloring, eating snacks and lunch. Eventually, we would follow the sun to the backyard and the girls would work on their gardens and play on the swingset. But then, Curtis was back at work. We were in the thick of summer and sweltering heat and our outside time ended abruptly. </p><p><br /></p><p>I remember thinking that I actually liked the quarantine because we were literally not allowed to do anything. Everything was cancelled. There was no guilt for missing anything because our not being able to do stuff was completely out of my hands. It wasn't up to me. I remember naively thinking that this new normal of slower pace was something that was going to be good for our family. And it was. However, I thought we would be back to our actual normal by now and over a year later, we still are not. Masks are still mandated in NC, libraries don't want you to linger, CFA dining is not open. Not only that but we have seen our country toppling over with so many horrific things and destructive agendas. I am completely saddened and overwhelmed with the state of our country. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am worried about many things. What will happen in this country regarding voter integrity and our rights and freedoms as American citizens? What kind of world will my girls have to grow up in? Will my homeschooling rights be taken from me? Am I messing my kids up with my own sinful issues? What is this world coming to? When is Jesus coming back...Jesus please come back. </p><p><br /></p><p>So this homeschool year was different with all these thoughts taking up permanent residence in my brain. Not only that, but I was also grieving the loss of baby still over last summer and realizing 100% that God knew what He was doing when He took my baby to be with with Him in heaven. My baby would never know the pain and suffering of this world and I was grateful and found so much peace over that. While my arms would ache to hold him, my heart was full because he got to see our Savior face to face from his very beginning. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am tired. Tired of the hypocrisy, the ignorance, the division, the lies, the corruption, the evil. It is interesting that I read something today in Revelation that said to let the evil continue to do evil...meaning it is going to happen. There is not a thing I can do to stop it, but the righteous must continue to do right. Evil is here and it is here to stay until Jesus comes. I can't continue to wish it away, but I should be doing my all to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth. </p><p><br /></p><p>I realized today also that I am so sick and tired of reading all these books and be so fully into and committed to what it is telling me to do only to fall flat on my face a day or week after reading these books. How far am I willing to go before I am so fed up with myself and I finally fall on my knees before God? What is it going to take? I need to wake up for the sake of my family. No more excuses. No more self deprecation. No more justifying. It needs to be over. Me and my selfish ways must come to an abrupt end. And there should be no turning back. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, while I don't feel like I have much to document, because frankly, I can't remember a darn thing, I do want to do this more. Get back on that horse! </p>Mandy Alfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14459015682188141689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848950552021236835.post-63886199784844537582020-03-08T00:15:00.001-08:002020-03-08T00:15:31.141-08:00February SchoolFebruary 2020 has come and gone and with a lot under our belt. We celebrated birthdays, we celebrated Valentine's Day with the Holt family, and we played with friends for playdates. We learned a lot about mummies and Ancient Egypt, as well as, pirates! The only thing I would have put into our February School would have been black history and presidents. I am finding that I really struggle with planning ahead on holidays. I also need to be better at getting photos of our school days and just life in general. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For Morning basket, we covered so many topics. We read books from the Charlotte Mason schedule. Learned about some people who worked hard for the kingdom of God, practiced memorizing the catechisms, and read five minute devotionals. Our favorite read loud this month was the <u>Tale of Despereaux</u> by Kate DiCamillo. This book was excellent and has become a favorite of ours. It even inspired Ava to add some of the authors technique into her fairytale writing. We also read some Valentine's books, Groundhogs books, and poetry. During our morning time we find it fun to include some language arts by using MadLibs. Since we were talking about fairytales, we did a fairytale MadLib. We also incorporated learning about fairytales using a Fairytale Spin to Play game. One of my favorite, and the girls, was the Once Upon a Time Map Book. We used this for a fun spin on geography and reading map skills. For Art, we included our Charlotte Mason artis, Gustave Courbet and we also used a Learn to Draw Princess Kingdom to go along with our fairytale theme. Morning Basket Math included a variety of games, heart candy patterns and candy heart measurement. For science, we played Top Trumps Fillies, foals, and fantasy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is an overview of what they learned in unit studies this month: </div>
<div>
Ancient Egypt and Mummies: We read Magic Tree House <u>Mummies in the Morning</u> and the <u>Ancient Egypt Fact Tracker</u> that goes along with it. We read <u>Who Was King Tut</u> biography, as well. The girls learned about Egypt and where it is on a map, including a cut out of Egypt that they colored and placed in their composition books. They watched several YouTube videos on the subject and we did the Waldock Way unit study on the subject. We played Top Trumps King Tut.</div>
<div>
We also read Magic Tree House <u>Pirates Past Noon</u> and the <u>Pirates Fact Tracker,</u> <u>Who Was Blackbeard</u>, and <u>You Wouldn't Want to be a Pirate's Prisoner</u>. We played several pirate games<br /><div>
like Don't Poke the Pirate, Don't Rock the Boat, and my personal favorite Dozen Doubloons which is fun and couples with math and making addition equations that add up to 12. Ava drew a pirate ship in her composition book and we also watched YouTube videos on the subject, watched Hook, and did the Waldock Way unit on the subject. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For writing, we are working on the Brave Writer Jot it Down curriculum and spending our time looking into fairy tales. This month we have looked at The Frog Prince. We read the story and they wrote their own version of it and colored a frog to go along with it. </div>

Over the break, I was evaluating our homeschool and curriculum, things that were working and things that were not. I feel as if I am always searching for different ways and new ideas to try and I am uncertain if this is a good thing or bad thing. I know it is good to change things when they aren't working, but at the same time, I feel like it shows a side of me that is never content with how things are. And I am also uncertain if I have enough reasons to justify the changes that I felt were needed or if I was just getting bored and losing hope thinking that things may never change and homeschool will always feel this rigid. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is true that I felt it was rigid. And I did feel like I couldn't continue this way and be happy with homeschooling if we did continue the way we were going. I still do not know if I am happy with The Good and the Beautiful literacy and math. I love a lot of what it teaches and I think it has been great. I just haven't seen the fruit in Sally's learning. Sometimes I feel like the math is monotonous and I don't always love it. If I am being honest, I am feeling guilty about it because there is literally nothing wrong with it, but sometimes I feel like they take too long and there are often things in the lessons that I don't see the point of or don't like the way they have chosen to approach the concept. The games they include need lots of pieces and they really are not that fun in my or my daughter's opinion. I don't know. I am unsure as to what I should do. Why fix something that isn't necessarily broken?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So this first week back I was excited about the new parts that I was bringing in but also nervous if all the planning and money I spent over it would be well received. So far so good. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here are just a few pictures of our first week back...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">SO these first couple pictures were during morning basket. Morning basket consists of several books that we read. Some of the books we have read so far are The Snowbelly Books, Jan Brett's The Three Snowbears and The Hat, We are reading Mr. Popper's Penguins, The Boy of the Pyramids, Dinosaur Books, Stories about Ruth in the Bible, Bible Devotional Books, Everyone Your Child Should Know, Catechisms. During the reading part of the morning basket, the girls will work on different quiet activities. They used these templates pictured here to make snowflakes out of cutips, they used templates to make dinosaur out of playdough, we used trivia cards from the internet to answer questions about the dinosaurs we are learning about, we counted syllables in the different dinosaurs names, we did a dinosaur puzzle, and we played Top Trumps Dinosaurs video games. Some other activities we have done is work on a Frozen Mad Libs and read A Frozen Storybook together. This time in the morning has been enjoyable and I look forward to planning some every month. </span><br />

The girls are doing the January Reading Challenge from Read Aloud Revival. It has been fun sitting with them and listening to them read. Ava finished her first chapter book, Polar Bears Past Bedtime. <br />

What got you to this place? Maybe you've been or are in a trial and you are wondering how God could ever use this? How could He ever turn this around? Will you see the goodness of God positioned at the end of all of it? <br />
I was reading Esther and was thrown for a loop this morning. There is a verse where it says she "was <i>taken </i>into the king's palace and put in custody of Hegai." Esther 2:8 I have NEVER thought about this in any other way, other than, she willingly went, maybe with some hesitation and anxiousness, but that she packed her bag, handed it to the kind eunuch and off she went to live in a palace and be given royal beauty treatments. Literally. Thinking all this time, "what a life!" But do you know the word taken in that verse means she was <i>carried off by force, snatched, captured, seized. WHAT?!?!?! </i> And then I thought about what that must have felt like. The fear, resentment, the wondering how God was going to use this, what was going to be the outcome, would I ever see my family again, all. the. things. Isn't funny though, God wasn't caught off guard by this. He knew this was going to happen. And He did use it. As I have been reading the Bible the past year, I changed my methods. I stopped trying to constantly see how this applied to me and started paying careful attention to how the story of God is woven through all these different stories. Yes, she was carried away, taken against her will, and God used the wretchedness of that for a purpose. He gave Esther natural charm and beauty so that she would be able to win the favor of important people in her new position which would come to serve her later in a positive way. God's love for you is unfailing! He will redeem! His strength will be your guide. He is compassionate. He is gracious. He is slow to anger. Abounding in love. He does not withhold and He will right all the wrongs. He is a God who keeps His covenant to those who love Him. He is THE faithful God. He has been and will continue to be good to you.

Evelyn,<br />
<br />
You are such a spit-fire. You are an independent, stubborn, at time sassy, little thing. You still show such happiness in most things you do. You still are a smuggler and love to be held. There is still so much of you that has not changed since you were itty bitty. I am thankful I have gotten to hold on to all those sweet things about you another year. <br />
<br />
I pray often for that joy of yours. That it will be a constant in your life. That you will radiate it so that it reflects itself onto others. <br />
<br />
You got your first haircut this month. You did rather well for a very fidgety, wiggly child. It looks really cute on your, but I wish you'd let me keep your bangs pinned back so you wouldn't constantly have hair in your pretty eyes. You usually pull everything out that I put in your hair to help with the problem. <br />

This was the first Christmas where you showed any interest in the presents. So, that was fun for us. We enjoyed watching you open your presents. Your favorite present was your rocking horse from Mimi and PopPop. You get on that and say, "Yeehaw!!!" The other day you wanted your rocking horse in the family room where the rest of us were and so you picked that big thing up and lugged it in there. I wish I could have gotten a picture of that! It was funny. We heard lots of bangs on the wall as you were bringing that thing in the room with us. These next pictures are of you sitting on the rocking horse saying "yeehaw!"<br />

You have gone through a season of not really wanting to eat your food. You use to be a a pretty good eater, especially with fruit, but that has not been of real interest to you. You like to feed the dog all of your food and you often get reprimanded for doing that. You like to draw on the chalkboard, read books, play with your toys, hang out with your sisters, and steal my phone. <br />
<br />
I have found it interesting how you play pretty well with others. Most kids your age don't really play with other kids, but I know that having your sisters has something to do with it. You love to do things with them, especially. You love it when you are included in whatever they might be playing. Today, you were Bolt from the movie Bolt and your sisters were Penny and the mom. You loved every second of it. <br />
<br />
You no longer like to sit in a shopping cart. You get out of them every time. And most of the time you won't walk for me. You want me to shop while holding you the ENTIRE time. It is exhausting, my patience wears thin, and I am usually sweating bullets half way through. Its time to hire someone to watch y'all so I can get those things done...and just wait and see....I will be a much better person for it. <br />
<br />
You still take a nap for us each afternoon around 1-1:30. Sometimes its a nice, long one others days it is fairly short. One of the wonderful things about you, though, is you will play in your crib for quite a while without getting upset. <br />
<br />
You now tell me when you have a poop and will grab my hand and take me to the diapers to change you (unless you are engrossed in some activity).<br />
<br />
You still love the movie The Boss Baby and anything Mickey Mouse. You love to listen to Emily Arrow on Youtube. You love your stories that daddy reads to you at bedtime. <br />
<br />
After bath time, you want to be snuggled in your towel for a while. It's adorable and I don't mind it a bit. <br />
<br />
You are just full of life. It's so fun to watch. You love your life, you love your people. I hope you always do! <br />
<br />
God will do great things through you and your ability to bring a smile to anyone's face. Shine His light! Stay in His presence. When in His presence there is fullness of joy. <br />
<br />
Love you to pieces! <br />
xoxox<br />

I feel like I just wrote Evelyn's 21 month blog. Anyway, Oh girl, are you a pistol. You still bring so much joy, even though you are very impish. You are sneaky, silly, and showing indications that you are getting ready to be 2. In fact, a couple weeks ago at the grocery store, you were acting up and starting the beginning of tantrum and an older lady looked at you and asked me, "Is she two?" I told her you were going to be in a couple months and she said, "Yea, that's a two thing!"<br />
<br />
You are very independent and certain things have to be done certain ways with you. Some things have to be done at certain times. You are a bear when it comes to brushing your teeth. You LOVE to "bru teef." But you don't think you need ANY help. You say so many things and your little voice and phrases remind me so much of Ava when she was your age. <br />
<br />
You are the worst at sharing toys and will scream a shrill scream when someone takes a toy away from you. But it doesn't have to be a toy taken from you that causes this deafening scream to protrude from your mouth. Your sisters can just look or walk near a toy you like and there she blows! <br />
<br />
You like to sit at the table in a chair like the rest of us, but I still try to keep you buckled in your booster seat. You have learned how to take your chest strap on your carseat further down to your belly and get your arms out. You know how to open all the doors in our house, cabinets, drawers (you name it). You can make several calls on my phone by somehow figuring out how to get through my locked screen. You like to turn Netflix on all the time on the tv. You like baths. You like to tell us when you have a poo-poo and you will touch the back of your pants while you say it. You like to play peek a boo, play piggy back rides, and all other forms of running around games. You love our Saturday Pancake nights and will sit in your chair for the length of time it takes to make the pancakes repeating the word cancakes over and over. You like to read "dories" and will also bring me my books and say, "Mommy's dories." You often sneak off with other peoples drink and food. You love to get into my school stuff and you are super sneaky about it. You love to take your socks and shoes off in the car as we are going somewhere. You have no problem throwing your water bottle across the car when you are done and saying, "all done!" Hopefully you won't ever knock me in the head with that thing when I am driving. You are a disaster to put into a carseat on most occasions. You are a tornado that strikes our home a kajillion times a day. BUT....<br />
I WOULD NOT TRADE ANYTHING ABOUT YOU FOR EVEN A SECOND. <br />
You are wonderful just the way you are! <br />
<br />
You are wearing 2t clothing, size 5 diapers. You still love milk and eat any fruit given to you. You are not a fan of vegetables, meat, peanut butter sandwiches. You like it when I make pancakes, pizza, and cheese quesadillas. You love a breakfast bar, banana, and milk in the morning. You are pretty routine with that. You go to bed at 8 and wake up around 7. You usually wake up happy and play with your horsey in your bed. You do so well, I often won't get you until 8. Then I put you in your seat to eat and (maybe I should not admit this) but I let you watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or (your favorite movie) The Boss Baby while I take your sisters in the other room to do school. You make it impossible to do school with them, otherwise. I even try to include you, and right now, you will have NOTHING to do with it, unless it involves tearing everything to shreds. <br />
<br />
Evie, I said it 22 months ago and I will say it again. There is a joy that radiates from you. I hope that you live your life in God's presence where there will always be fullness of joy. I love you, pumpkin! <br />

Dear Ava,<br />
It seems like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms for the first time. I can no longer hold you like that anymore. You are more than half my size now. It is insane how quickly you grew from a tiny infant (if you consider 9lbs. 6 oz. tiny) into this beautiful 38 pound young girl. Your daddy and I prayed and prayed for you. There was a time I lost hope of ever having a baby. BUT GOD. <br />
<br />
God knew exactly what He was doing! Shocker, I know, right?! He knew exactly what we needed and when we needed it. I wish I could take back those years where I didn't trust and lived in sadness and doubt. When I found out I was pregnant with a baby I was the happiest I have ever been in my life. I could not wait to meet you. And I just knew you would be so special. And you are.<br />
<br />
You love God with such tender love. You know how important He is and love to talk about Him. Since you are only 5, you don't understand everything you need to or behave in the ways I know you know you should, but I know that your heart wants to know, love and serve God. He is going to do great things through you. <br />
<br />
He has made you a compassionate and caring sister. Just the other day, your littlest sister who is showing signs of terrible two's, lost her mind and I left her screaming and throwing a fit in the parking lot of church. You were crying because you were so worried about her safety. I had to reassure you over and over again that I wouldn't have left her there if she were in danger. The parking lot had no-one there and no-one coming. And we were close to her. (So don't think I abandoned my child in a busy, dangerous parking lot, please. I would never do that.) <br />
<br />
You love to help cook and the other day you wanted to help get the house clean for me when I came home because you know I love a clean home. <br />
<br />
You work hard at your schoolwork and love to be around people. You have always been so gracious as you have had to share toys since you can remember. Last year we went to Disney World during your birthday. You never once asked for a toy the entire week we were there. The last day we let you pick out anything you wanted. You picked the Cinderella Castle. Well, of course, Sally wanted in on that and you have shared that with her lovingly and graciously ever since. <br />
<br />
YOU are going to do GREAT things for GOD. I just know it. We are so very proud of you. We love you so much. You have blessed my life so much it can't be described. I can't wait to watch you grow physically, socially, emotionally, but most importantly, in your relationship to Jesus Christ. <br />
<br />
Always remember He is Number 1. Always put Him first and serve Him only. He loves you so. And I thank God that He chose us to love you here on this earth. <br />

You are just a busy, busy girl who loves to have tons of fun. You are a handful to watch wherever we go. But I wouldn't trade your exuberance for life for nothing! <br />
<br />
You have been super clingy to me. You want to be held. all. day. It is a daily reminder that this too shall pass and there will be no more holding you one day. :(<br />
<br />
You are a lover of fruit. You especially love grapes, blueberries, bananas, clementines, oranges, pretzels, veggie chips and dried fruit. Everything else ends up on the floor or fed to the dog.<br />
<br />
You like socks which you refer to as sockeys and you like shoes, especially your boots. You also like to help get yourself dressed by pulling your pants up and getting your arms in your sleeves. You love bath time, but not the getting-out-of-the-bath time. <br />
<br />
You sleep all night and take one nap each day, except days like today where the time change has effected you and you were up at the crack of dawn. By 9 am you were super cranky, in time-out twice, and needed a nap (you were practically begging for one as you continued to sabotage yourself). So, days like that you also got a morning nap. <br />
<br />
Since you like to be held all.the.time. you make getting school done with the other two kind of hard. They can seem to tune you out. I, on the other hand, cannot. You also want nothing to do with anything "School-like". You want to <strike>play</strike> destroy the playroom. Your complete enthusiasm for destruction has me actually considering getting you boxes and paper for Christmas where you can have a grand 'ol time destroying and saving me money by not having to buy you something that you won't play with. <br />
<br />
You do like to sit in your little rocking chair. You do like to climb and sit on the table and steal your sister's food. You like to climb the stairs and all over the couch. You do like to climb onto the school table and undo all my organization. You do like books, well you like ripping them off the shelves and sometimes ripping the books themselves. :(<br />
<br />
You have a favorite movie. It use to be Beauty and the Beast (the new one). Now it is Baby Boss. You will randomly ask me throughout the day to watch it. If the girls get to watch any tv that day and they choose something that isn't Baby Boss, you typically get pretty upset over it. <br />
<br />
You wear mostly 18-24 month clothing. You are wearing size 4 and 5 shoes. You drink about 18 oz. of milk per day (usually). <br />
<br />
You really are a lot of fun. A lot of work. But still a lot of fun. I wouldn't want you to be any different. I love you just the way you are. <br />
<br />
We love you, Miss Evelyn Olivia. God is so good. You are such a gift to us. May He put His fingerprints all over you and over all that you do. And may you do it all for His glory. <br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy<br />

Oh Evelyn! I love you so much! You are so much fun! Busy as a bee, but sweet as can be. I am smitten with you. Truly. This month you are really showing me that you are more of a toddler than a baby. 😥 In fact, today when we were getting your shoes on, you wanted to stand and hold on to my shoulder and lift your foot for me to put your shoe on. There are other things that you are doing that show you are a toddler now. You are getting dressed standing up now more than sitting down. You are talking a lot. You are listening to one and some two step directions. You are pretty much down to one nap per day. You know the basic fundamentals of our day. You act as if you know your place in our family and you know you are loved. 💜💜 It is really quite special to see how you have formed your own little place in our family. I, for one, am thankful you are a part of it! <br />
<br />
You are talking and some words I definitely can make out are: no, all done, i "unt" (want) out, let go, shoes, cancake for pancake, iceceem, Sally Jean, mommy, daddy, bye bye, uh oh, Cinston for Winston, nighnite, diaper, play, and I am pretty sure you said "mommy, watch" while jumping on the trampoline. <br />
<br />
You love your horsey, bath times, fruit, and all and anything sweet, car rides, music, Beauty and the Beast movie (the new one), playing at church, playing outside, playing at friends, playing 😂😬, climbing, stealing other peoples food, climbing the stairs, stealing your sisters drinks, reading books. Some of your favorite books are The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear Brown Bear. <br />
<br />
You do not like being confined, getting your nose sucked out (and believe me, it isn't the highlight of my day either! 🤢 You don't like it when you are snuggling and one of your sisters comes to join us. You don't like peanut butter and jelly, chicken, veggies. You actually aren't liking a lot of food right now unless it is mac and cheese, fruit or some sort of carb. <br />
<br />
You wake up every morning by 7:30, but I usually leave you in there until 8:00. You never fuss about that. You just play and talk to yourself in your bed. You eat breakfast. You like to have fruit, breakfast bar and french toast the best in the morning. You play and play and play and get into things, then stuff, and then more things. You usually have the playroom torn up by 9:00 and then you do some more tearing into things. By noon, you have lunch with some goldfish thrown in there in between breakfast and lunch. You like to do whatever your sisters do after lunch and then you go down for a nap for about 2 hours. After nap, we all better hope you have woken up on your own. Otherwise we are prepared for a groucho. If you wake up on your own, you are pretty pleasant and will eat. I usually have to make sure dinner is on your tray before you come down. You do not like to wait for your food. 😡😡 If we wake you from your nap you are a beast. I am prepared to either not eat dinner because you just want to be held or be able to eat with you on my lap nestled up against me. Honestly, I don't mind the grouchiness, because it means snuggle time for mommy. 😍<br />
Shortly after dinner and some play time, you go to bed around 8-8:30. <br />
<br />
You are wearing 18- 24 month clothing, mostly. You drink about 18 ounces of whole milk per day (mostly). You are weighing around 21 lbs. You seem to prefer using your left hand...we will see if that changes. Your eyes are a deeper blue. Your nails grow at a ferocious speed. You wear size 3 and 4 shoes. You are happiest when you are exploring and grumpiest when you are tired and/or hungry.<br />
<br />
We all really just love you. You are quite the blessing...more than I could have ever imagined. I am one lucky mommy to have such preciousness surrounding me day after day. You are going to be a force for God. I pray your joyful spirit will abound and overflow onto others. <br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We started the month with our 14th wedding anniversary. My parents watched the kids for us and we went uptown and ate dinner at a taco place and dessert at The Melting Pot and then we stayed the night at this beautiful B&B called the Duke Mansion. It was a wonderful night away. We actually had conversation at dinner that was quiet and informative. I love our typical dinners of screaming to each other over the constant singing, giggling, arguing, you-name-it, but it was nice to be able to enjoy each others company without all that. 😁</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We went to the zoo with a couple friends and got to see lots of animals, play in the splash pad, and just have fun being with one another. They were as good as gold and I was very excited about how easy they were and it made me not so scared to go there by myself with all three of them. </span><br />

Evie loves to take the paper towels out and stack them. I will be honest, there were days early in my motherhood years this would have driven me crazy because OCD over here. However, with baby number 3 I have finally learned how to let some things go. There are still many moments where I get a little tight inside over some things that are still hard to let go of, but I am getting better. Its a process. <br />

We went to the Sno Ball Cabin last weekend and enjoyed a snow cone. Ava and Sally both wanted Pink Lemonade, I got Margarita, and Curtis got peach. We all just shared with Evelyn. <div>

It has been a simple, but full month here at our home. So thankful I get to be home with my girls and just enjoy them. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">You are 18 months! WHAT?!?!?! I have so enjoyed you. You are a very funny baby. Full of joy, spunk, curiosity, playfulness, and silliness. I love having you here with us. You always make me smile. You are just so silly and playful. You love to make us all laugh and you are very good at it. We all get giggling at you. For instance, these pictures. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I wish I had pictures of you when I tell you it is time to change your diaper. You run to where the diapers are and lay yourself down. It is so cute and it is surprising how obedient you are to that request. You must not like sitting in a soaking wet pee diaper or running around with poo clinging to your patootie. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You also usually comply when I say it is time for nite nite. You will make your way to the gate at the stairs. It is refreshing, to say the least. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">You enjoy playing with your sisters. You do well with them (most of the time). Sometimes you like to knock over their lego towers and magnatile castles they make. They do not think that is funny. In fact, you did that the other day and I over heard Sally tell you she wasn't your best friend anymore. 😂😂</span><br />

I am so thankful for every little bit of you and your precious personality.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Evelyn, you are so wonderful in every way. You are so sweet, cuddly, silly and cute. I have been so blessed to have you and to know you. You bring a lot of joy to me and your daddy, as well as, your sisters and everyone else who knows you. You are a happy baby unless you are tired or "HANGRY". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just this morning, I was reading a blog I wrote on your sister, Ava when she was like 19 months old and I wanted to get across to everyone how busy she was, but in all honesty, she didn't or even still can hold a candle to your level of busyness and curiosity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For instance, the other day you were getting the drawer under the oven out and used that as your stepping stool to get on top of the oven. You crawled up onto the kitchen table chairs to get on top of the kitchen table and were trying to touch the lighting above the table. Add a few more inches and you will be hanging off of it. You like to climb up on the couch and try to stand on the back of it. Thankfully, you haven't mastered climbing yet so it takes you a while to get up on stuff. Sometimes, you try and try and then give up and move on to something else. But it is only a matter of time when you will be able to get up on the kitchen chairs and couch with little to no effort at all. 😂</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You love hanging with your sisters. You follow them around a lot. You get lots and lots of giggles from them and find such pleasure out of making them laugh. Class clown may be in your future. You love to put on sun glasses or hats and come in the room we are all in and say "DADA!!!!" On the flip side, I will find you playing alone, too. Sometimes you will sneak off to the playroom and I will catch you playing with the bracelets or brushing your hair at the vanity. You also like to pull books out and look at them or play with the tea cart. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You still enjoy bouncing in your bouncy chair. I promise we won't have you bouncing in that when you are a teenager. But, as long as you are willing and enjoy and aren't falling out of it, it is nice to have around so I can get things done and not be constantly ushering you out of the kitchen cabinets, pantry, bathroom, what have you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You are starting to enjoy pool time. You HATED it at first. But you are now warming up to it. 🙏 I am grateful for our neighborhood pool and how child friendly it is. You have two big sisters that are waterbugs, so while you play in the very shallow part and the fountains I can stick with you and still have eyes on the other two and feel pretty confident that they will be ok. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You love to eat. You love cheese, bread, yogurt, fruit, turkey dogs, fish, and sometimes chicken. You are not a fan of peanut butter and most meats and veggies. Your favorite food is Mac&Cheese. You will stuff your face with that. You love pretty much any fruit, especially grapes, blueberries and pineapple. You tolerate your milk. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You sleep well. Most days you at least take a 2-3 hour nap, and if you aren't sleeping all that time, you quietly hum and talk to your stuffed animals. There are some days you get cranky around 10 (depending on how early you get up) and you will take like an hour nap before lunch. You go to bed around 8:30-9:00 and I usually get you at 8 am. I hardly ever have to get up with you. I actually can't remember the last time you woke up in the middle of the night and one of us needed to take care of you. I thank you for that! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have no idea how much you weigh, but you are wearing mostly 18 or 18-24 month clothing. Size 4 diapers still fit rather well on you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually called your doctor today because I forgot to schedule your 18 month visit for next month and the lady on the phone informed me that I never brought you in for your 15 month well visit. You are such a 3rd child!!!! In fact, you eat food off of the floor, you get squeezed, pushed and pulled to death by your sisters, you are on much less of a schedule than the other two were at your age, you got into potting soil with fertilizer and I didn't freak out, I don't dress you most days (there have been several days lately where we haven't gone anywhere and you are either still in your pj's from the night before or just in a diaper when daddy comes home from work. You fit right in with your sisters...I have given up dressing them unless we are going somewhere, because they take off their clothes constantly now, so what's the point!?!? They don't even want to wear pj's anymore!!!!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You do ok being handed over to other people. You will pretty much go to anyone, but you are very excited when we come and get you from church nursery. I love to be the one to pick you up because you see me and start squealing and it is just the cutest thing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is so much to love about you. You are a great baby (or toddler)....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is sad to think my baby days are behind me. You are a joy. I know God will use you in His Kingdom to bring others to Him by your radiant joy and love for others. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love you, Evelyn Olivia. </span><br />

Evelyn is 16 months old tomorrow and she is so much fun! She is quite the little chatterbox and I don't have a clue what she is saying, but she is serious when she talks and she thinks she is telling me something. It is pretty cute. It is even cuter when she talks to you with her sideways glance. She is quite the little explorer, too. She loves to look at everything and touch everything and move everything and break everything...<br />
<br />
She is learning to take her walking to a faster pace called a stumbling-around-really-fast-like-a-drunk-person until I get where I am wanting to go. It is pretty cute and entertaining. She still will sit in her bouncy seat for a little while if I need to get something done or just need a break from chasing her. She loves her new found freedom with all day access to the big girl playroom. She was barricaded from that but we moved all little swallowable toys up to the loft and so she can play in the playroom unrestricted. Pretty exciting for her and her big sisters love it, too. They are enjoying Evie becoming more of a part of their little group. They look forward to her waking up every morning and are always asking for her to get out of her high chair before she has even finished eating because they want to play with her. <br />
<br />
She loves the playroom, but she isn't always fond of playing with her sisters. They don't leave her alone much of the time. Today, they had her nailed to the floor and were hugging her very tightly and not letting her go. She was getting extremely angry (I don't blame her). She much prefers the times when they are not around where she can play uninhibited by their constant control. <br />
<br />
She is a pretty good eater. She isn't a fan of meat or cheese. But she loves fruit and will tolerate some vegetables. She still drinks like three cups of milk per day and will drink some watered down juice. Her favorite food seems to be grapes and french toast. She also likes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and goldfish. <br />
<br />
She is still taking 2 naps per day for me (usually). If she misses her first nap it usually isn't a big deal for her or me. She takes nap every day at 2. Often she will sleep 2-3 hours for me. She goes back to sleep for bed around 8:30 and wakes up at 8 in the morning usually. <br />
<br />
She loves to play, go outside, take walks in the stroller or wagon, watch Trolls, give hugs and kisses, randomly check in on us, ride in the car, go to church, go to Mimi and PopPops, and then play some more. She loves to be held and cuddled and she likes to make you laugh. <br />
<br />
She doesn't like cold water (hoping she will get use to the pool), being told no, toys being taken away, getting her diaper changed, getting her hair washed, getting dressed. <br />
<br />
She is such a fun little girl, full of herself, the most curious of my three girls, and such a ham. She is a joyful and active little thing. I just love her to pieces and am so grateful for her being in my life. She brings such joy to so many people and I pray that will always be a part of who she is. I pray she will radiate joyfulness to others. She is a beacon of light to our little family and to others. What a great and awesome gift she is. I can't wait to see how her life reflects the joy of the Lord and how she will inspire others with her joyfulness. <br />
<br />
Oh and she has really crooked teeth! 𝩧𝩤𝩥𝩢𝩣𝩡<br />

Evie is such a fun kid! She is mostly happy. She finds joy in the small things. She loves to giggle, laugh and play. I love her exuberant personality. She is just super easy to be around. She loves life and it shows. </div>

Below, this is a rare moment for her. She doesn't often get so bent out of shape, here she was distraught over not being able to fit on my lap since there were two other sweet girls sitting there. </div>

Here she was wanting to be held and she did get upset when I couldn't hold her in that moment. Like I said earlier, she doesn't get mad over much, but when she does, it usually involves not being held. And, I will add, when she does get mad-WATCH OUT! She has a temper and she will aim anything in her hand at you. <br />

This girls loves to eat. She eats pretty much anything you give her. Of course, her favorites are anything involving carbs. Overall, she eats pretty much anything. She still drinks milk 3 times per day, but there are times when she says, "noooo" because she does NOT want that. <br />

I also watched her stack these rings. Obviously, they are not stacked correctly, but I was impressed that she was able to do this and get them to stay put. <br />

I love sleeping babies and how peaceful and serene they look. I probably stood there staring at her for like 5 minutes. <br />

It was a surprising day for me when I found out about all this anger and bitterness that was rooted deep inside of me. It just sprang up out of me all of a sudden. I never thought that my own children would be the catalyst in me expressing just how angry of a person I was, but they were. I taught 6 and 7 year olds, a lot of them, all at once, in one small room. It was like a circus all the time. I often felt like I lived in crazy town when I taught and while I did get mad and irritated at times, I never remember seeing my anger explode out of me like I have with my own flesh and blood. <br />
<br />
I remember the first time I got really angry as a mother. Ava was maybe 8 months old and would not eat. She refused anything I would give her. After a few days of this, I started to get worried and my worry can often come out as anger. Anyway, I remember being so rude to this sweet little 8 month old and I remember thinking that she was being defiant. I had even convinced Curtis that she was trying to drive me crazy with her not eating because she knew how important it was for me as a mom to have her eat and she wanted to be disobedient. So, a few more days passed and she still wasn't eating. I took her into the doctor and she had an oral virus. She wasn't eating because it hurt to eat and I was being so hard on her and not a nice mommy at all. <br />
<br />
And then, I had Sally. She tops the cake. No-one can get me angry like this child. She is stubborn and so strong willed. I know those of you who talk to me on a regular basis hear me say this all the time and I know most of you will see some of her behaviors. But, you only see a glimpse of what life is like with her. She is hard. Hard. Haaaaaaaaaard. She cries or whines the majority of the day, and waking up to it and hearing her go to bed like that is not pleasant. Noises never seemed to bother me, not in a chaotic classroom filled with 25 different little voices all needing something at the same time. I mean, I never thought noises bothered me. The bunches of toys that the girls have that all talk or play music or whatever, those don't bother me. But the whining and nagging and crying sound of Sally's voice really grates on my every. last. nerve. <br />
<br />
I know that isn't a nice thing to say. I wish I didn't feel that way. And I have felt that way so much of the time. Too much of the time. Most of the time. <br />
<br />
And that is when I get angry. And it isn't pretty. I hate it about me. I don't even really know where it truly stems from. <br />
<br />
Today has been brutal. This week has been brutal. It has been depleting. I have tried really hard to absorb my mind, eyes, and ears with all things pleasing and good and godly and I feel like all I have done this week is fail. One miserable failure after another. I cried out to God today telling Him how upset I was, how hopeless I felt, how I felt like maybe I wasn't cut out to do this mom thing, after all. <br />
<br />
I am not sharing this for anyone to feel sorry for me. I am writing this because I am tired of being "fake". I am tired of the fake ness all over social media. I am tired of pretending things are perfect, which I have never really done, but there is so much perfection that surrounds me and I can't take it anymore. <br />
<br />
We all are broken some where and in some way. We all have our sin nature. Anger happens to be one of mine. And I know I am not alone. When Revive our Hearts does a 4 day podcast on "pitchin a fit" you know that you are bearing this struggle along with other moms and dads. I don't say that to justify my behavior. While I know it is ok to have the angry emotion, it is not ok to act out sinfully in anger. When Sally is having one of the millionth moments in a day, I get so angry and when I think about what I am angry about, I think about how long will this be my life and my experience with her? Will this ever end? Will God use this for His glory? I am ruining her for life? And the list and thoughts go on and on. <br />
<br />
I am sharing my struggle with you all so maybe others will find comfort that they are not alone. That it is ok to be real. To be honest. It is ok that we all have brokenness. My brokenness can be and will be made beautiful in God's perfect timing. If I weren't broken then there would be no need for Jesus, and we all know I desperately need Him. He makes His Power perfect in my weakness. Where I am weak, He is strong. <br />
<br />
I want to share one other thing with you. I am working really hard to get to the root of these issues. I don't want to live my life angry, I don't want my anger to be the majority of the experiences my family has with me, and I don't want to give this part of me to my kids. I am in recovery for my anger and have begun a step study through Celebrate Recovery for it. <br />
<br />
This week has been a doozy. I know we are all muddling through something in our lives. I know I am not alone. Shed some light on your brokenness. There is beauty to behold there.

Evelyn, 14 months old and you are just growing and growing. I really LOVE this age. It is a lot of fun. You are super curious. You are super sweet. You are super fast. <br />
<br />
I really slacked off this month on getting pictures of you. I am sorry. <br />
<br />
Here are some fun, cute things about you this month:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You are the cutest when you walk towards me with a big smile and your arms outstretched. I melt. </li>
<li>You love to go play and then come in and check on me with a tight hug around the leg.</li>
<li>You love to dance and try and sing to music. </li>
<li>You love the song Feel It by Toby Mac. </li>
<li>You love to escape with remotes and phones. </li>
<li>You chew on everything. </li>
<li>You put everything in your mouth.</li>
<li>You ate potting soil the other day.</li>
<li>You love your new independence with playing in the playroom.</li>
<li>You are clingy to mommy and prefer to be held by mommy. </li>
<li>You are drinking from a sippy cup, but you like a bottle to have your morning milk as soon as you wake up. </li>
</ul>
<br />
You are eating pretty much everything you are given. You do have an aversion to several green things. You aren't a fan of peas and cucumbers. But you will eat broccoli. You ❤️ LOVE ❤️ grapes🍇!!!! You love bread and crackers, cheese quesadillas, peanut butter sandwiches, breakfast bars, milk, turkey and many other things. <br />
<br />
You get pretty bad eczema. So, we have to lather you down every night with aquaphor. Because of your skin issues you get a bath every other night. <br />
<br />
You are getting lots and lots of teeth. But you have been a trooper about it. <br />

We are so blessed to have you. You are a mess. But a lovable one! I don't know what I would do without you. Mandy Alfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14459015682188141689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6848950552021236835.post-84866629436761554292017-04-03T16:17:00.002-07:002017-04-03T16:17:25.779-07:00March-April 2017Wow! March was certainly a month that will not be forgotten soon. I think we have had almost 5 full weeks of someone being sick. It all started with Curtis, then me, then Sally with several things, then Ava, and now Miss Evelyn. I keep wondering when and if it will ever end. We are totally looking forward to an end here hopefully soon, but if not, God is still there. <br />
<br />
One thing I have learned through all this is how He does provide you with what you need to get through any and all circumstances. I have had mostly positive thinking through all this. He has kept me grounded and thankful. There have been some days that were more difficult than others because being isolated is not my favorite. He did provide some moments for me to get out here and there and I am truly thankful for that. <br />

In this house, with the kids so small and touching everything and everyone and not understanding boundaries, it is only a matter of time until the sick one passes it on to the next and so on. I am hoping and praying for God to put a shield around me so I don't get the sickness the girls have had because I think it would take me out for a day or two and I need to be rested and well to take care of the girls. Anyway, so far I have been protected. Hand washing has become my best friend and my worst enemy. It has kept me well, but my hands are so dry right now. <br />
<br />
In other news, the girls and I used our time at home wisely diving into preschool. We did many things this month, We did some activities that were dealing with Dr. Seuss. <br />

We started learning about the letter K and snakes because Ava had snakes on the brain. We made snakes and decorated them, painted them, and did one with a pattern (except Sally. I just let her decorate all her snakes.) We also put a snake in number order starting at one and ending at 10.</div>

Oh Evelyn,<br />
<br />
I am so thankful for you. I am thankful for your radiant presence. You are so sweet and happy. You love life. You love getting into things. You love learning new things. You love new experiences. You just love everything except getting your boogers sucked out, having something taken away from you, or separation from people. Other than that, you are good to go. And it is so refreshing. <br />
<br />
You have struggled this month with allergies, I think. Although, those so called allergies are turning into a cough. So, maybe you have a cold on top of allergies. I don't know. Your little face looks pitiful and it is red from being wiped so much. Your eyes have some gook coming out of them. At first glance I thought it was pink eye, but it doesn't seem to be that. <br />
<br />
You like to roam around the house with your milk cup. You are actually eating the berbers stage 3 foods...it astonishes me, although they don't seem as bad as they use to be. You love yogurt and Pancake Saturday has become a favorite of yours, too. <br />
<br />
You are preciously attached to your horsey. You love to play peek-a-boo when we lay you in your crib. You go to naps pretty easily. You hardly ever cry when we lie you down and when you wake up. You are into <b><i>everything</i></b>!!! I can't hardly take my eyes off of you and you are fast. Fast on your feet and fast with your hands. You do show a determination sometimes and you don't like us to squash that. You can also be quite rough, but how could you not with your sisters manhandling you all the time. <br />
<br />
You say mommy in the cutest way possible. And you get super excited when daddy comes home and say daddy, daddy. You like to help me put the wet laundry in the dryer. You like to sneak into the trash. You put absolutely everything you can find in your mouth. You love to eat snacks in your high chair. You love to go in the playroom and play with the big girl toys. You will still sit in the bouncy chairs for me. You love to get into the cabinets and just sit there. <br />
<br />
Facts about you:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You drink 18-20 ounces of Vitamin D milk</li>
<li>You eat 3 meals per day plus a few snacks</li>
<li>You eat Stage 3 foods</li>
<li>You drink from a bottle and a sippy cup</li>
<li>You take 2 naps (each about 2 hours)</li>
<li>You sleep anywhere from about 10-11 hours per night</li>
<li>You are getting some molars</li>
<li>You wear 12-18 month clothing</li>
<li>You are in the nursery with Mr. Eric now</li>
<li>You are walking more like a champ</li>
<li>You are still in a rear facing infant seat</li>
<li>You have some eczema on your thighs and back</li>
<li>You wear size 4 diapers</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />

Oh Sally Jean, how I wish I could say every moment spent with you has been refreshing and pleasant...but I cannot tell a lie. While you are entirely exhausting, moody, whiny, stubborn, hard headed, tough as nails, super independent, strong willed, too smart for your own good (and ours), sometimes disobedient- there is a lot of things about you that are great and fun. And even some of these hard character traits that you exhibit now will be good for you one day, but when you are an irrational preschooler (add that to the list above) it is hard to navigate through each day and to see a light at the end of the tunnel. But, even through all of this, I love you so. </div>

You march to the beat of your own drum. You are a free thinker. You aren't going to let anyone dictate who you are. You wanted to be Cinderella for Halloween. Not because Ava was, but because you love Cinderella and wanted to wear a blue princess dress. I had a beautiful princess dress waiting for you, but it wasn't blue and it wasn't Cinderella and it just wasn't going to do. So, off to the costume store we did go, and you went right up to the wall of costumes, found a blue Cinderella dress and that was that. You are a girl who knows what you want. <br />

You got to go to Disney World again. This time it was a lot harder with you. On this trip, I learned first hand that you are a homebody and a stickler for a consistent schedule. The element of surprise does not bode well with you. You did have moments on this trip that truly captivated you, but there were also moments on this trip that catapulted my anger. A control freak like your mother and as stubborn as a mule, like your name sake...this trip was unforgettable on many levels. However, I am itching to go again (maybe because I am a glutton for punishment or I am hopeful that you will be older and the next trip will be more enjoyable). <br />

Your love for tutus, dress up clothes, toys in general, and wearing shades and hats is unprecedented. You sleep in your princess dresses that you put over your pajamas after we tuck you in bed. It was amusing looking back at all your pictures over the past year and seeing the amount of princess dresses, hats, and sunglasses you wore. <br />

This year was the year of the glasses and patch for your diagnosis of strabismus. You handled all the doctor appointments, the experiments with the eye glasses and the daily donning of your eye patches very well. Unfortunately, none of that was going to solve the problem, but it was necessary until surgery could be performed to keep the eye muscles from getting any weaker. <br />

This was also the year you handed over your pacifier...willingly. It was AMAZING! Considering your very strong personality and your huge dislike of anything not going your way and your comfort with consistency, I thought this would be a huge struggle. But, you did this all on your own. One night you just handed us your pacy and said you didn't want it anymore. We threw it away and that was all there was to that. I was wishfully thinking that maybe you would be this easy when it came to potty training...the hysteria of that! What was I thinking?<br />

This was after your surgery on your eyes. Before the surgery you were a hoot and so calm. Afterwards, you were <strike>your normal self</strike> a bear. You would fall asleep with your popsicle and it would be melting all over. I would try and sneak it out of your grip. You would immediately awake and want it back. It was a constant cause of frustration for you and me and my white sweater (especially after they gave you a red one). We decided to try and go for teddy grahams and you obliged. <br />

You have been through a lot and are doing so many things this year. Your vocabulary is brilliant (you do stutter a bit) but I think it is because you have constant things jumbling around in that very busy, very exhausting head of yours. You are a whirl of emotions. You can go from happy go lucky to the Tasmanian Devil in a matter of minutes. You make live always full of....something. Some days is pure laughter and joy, some days its confusion, some days is total frustration, and all days it is utter exhaustion. But, Miss Sally Jean, I wouldn't trade it or you, or any of your quirks or traits for anything else in all this world. You were made for me. God had such a sense of humor when He knitted you together, but you are perfectly and wonderfully made and I know that quite well! Love you, my go getter, where-there-is-a-will-there-is-a- way, spunky, full of sass girl! <br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy<br />

EVELYN, </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are already a one year old. Your first year flew by...somewhat in a fog. You have been an AMAZING baby. You slept like a champ, you are pretty laid back, you are joyful. You have been such a blessing to our lives and to our family. I will never forget the moment I first saw you. It was a moment of pure bliss. You were as beautiful as could be. You were healthy and chunky. The perfect combination. You were a healthy eater (and still are). You struggled with getting your sugars down the first day and into the next morning. You had to get your feet pricked so many times and my heart broke for you. Finally, those sugars regulated and then you had a bit of jaundice, but that quickly subsided and you were, otherwise, very healthy. You were almost a ten pounder. And I loved every ounce, every wrinkle and every roll of you. This was also my birthday. By far, the best, most memorable birthday in my 34 years. I am honored that I get to share that day with you. </div>

And then, you got to meet your sisters for the first time. And what an unforgettable moment that was. Talk about feeling God's love and blessing just saturating me. As I watched you and your two precious sisters, I felt so proud and, yet, so humble at the same time. I couldn't believe God had given me the desires of my heart in such an incredible way. I couldn't believe He loved me that much to bless me with these three beautiful, healthy gifts. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Then we brought you home and I remember being so ready to do this! I couldn't wait to start living the life of a family of 5. I couldn't wait to get you home and for life to begin getting back to normal. I remember being so thankful I wasn't pregnant anymore. I remember never letting my eyes look at anything other than you on the whole ride home. I also remember being exhausted and letting all that was about to happen sink in. When we got home the girls were thrilled. We tried to get back to a normal schedule that very day. I distinctly recall the girls waking up from their naps and screaming and pushing each other away from me because everyone wanted mommy and I remember feeling so </span>overwhelmed, but so content in that moment. <br />

You look like a giant in this picture. You actually slept soundly at Disney World in the strollers.<br />

There is just so much to love about you. I am so thankful for you. You have been such a joy to have by my side this year. You have become such a companion of mine and I just truly love everything about you. <br />
<br />
What a year it has been. I can't wait to see all the amazing and incredible ways God is gong to use in this world. I know He will use you mightily. <br />

I am anxiously awaiting a new book I ordered called My One Word. While I have been waiting I have been thinking about what my new word could be and these were the words that were thrown around in my head. I wish I could focus on every one of them this year because they were being tossed around up there for a reason. But, I don't do well when I try to do more than one thing at a time, so I think finding "my one word" will be a good idea for me this new year. I still have no idea what I will narrow it down to, but I look forward to doing the study and coming up with "my one word". Maybe I should add straight-forward to since I can get so wordy. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I decided that there were some other things I want to do this year. <br />
1) Get back on track with Weight Watchers- When your 4 year old daughter comes up to you today and jiggles your "fat belly" (her words) then you know you have had a little too much indulgence the month of December and need to tone it down and get back on track. To be honest, I didn't count points all month and it has taken a toll. I don't think I have actually counted points or watched what I was eating since Halloween (but I digress). So, I want to get back on it. I feel better about myself and what we are eating as a whole when I am putting my all into it. <br />
<br />
2) Graciousness (I need to add that to my list up there)- I want to be better at extending grace to others. I am super hard on everyone. I certainly can be condescending and judgmental. Lets just say, you all should be super relieved I am not God, and therefore, I am not the judge. <span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; text-align: justify;">Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person" Colossians 4:6</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span>
3) Choose life-giving words- I want loving words to pour out of me. I want the words of God to come out of me. I want THE WORD to easily flow out of my mouth. I do not want to cause hurt or harm by the things I say. I want to encourage and uplift others.<br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen." E</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;">phesians 4:29 </span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4)Work on not gossiping-this really could be thrown up there with #2 and #3 but this is a specific thing I need to work on. I tend to gossip. It is a real struggle of mine. I hate it that I struggle with it and I hate it even more when I let my sinful nature do its thing. So, I would like to say bye bye to it this year. <span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; text-align: justify;">Whoever spreads gossip betrays confidences; so don't get involved with someone who talks too much." Proverbs 20:19 </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #001320; font-family: inherit;">5) Do school with the girls 3 times per week-they enjoy the time </span></span><span style="color: #001320;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">spent doing it and look forward to it. I need to make it more of a priority.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #001320;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #001320;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">6) Delight on the Law of the Lord-I want to wake up in the morning yearning for more of Him. More of the One who gave me another day, this wonderful life I live. I want to have His Word dwell deeply into my soul so that it is everything I think about morning, noon, and night. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #001320;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: inherit;">I know that I can do this. God can give me the strength and courage to conquer these things. Some of them seem like huge mountains to climb, but they aren't. </span></div>

It has been CRAAAAZY! But in a good kind of way. <br />
<br />
December began with a 7 day trip to Disney World. Eventful, exhausting, lots of temper tantrums by Sally which turned into temper tantrums from yours truly. We met lots of characters, rode lots of rides, saw every parade imaginable, and ate great food. We did have a lot of fun. Learned a lot about ourselves and our kids along the way. My favorite part of Disney was seeing joy on each child's face with all the things they were excited to do. Ava loved the parades and so she just sat in awe of it all. Her little hand wouldn't stop waving to every single person in the parade. It was precious. Sally loved the rides and meeting the characters . She enjoyed each and every one. Evie loved being carried and cuddled close to either myself or Curtis every day, all day. (I must admit, I loved that too, aching back and all.) <br />

During that trip we also celebrated Ava's 4th birthday. It was precious. We went to 1900 Park Fare and ate with the mean stepmother and stepsisters. They were quite funny. We ordered a 6 inch cake for Ava. It was super delish! We also had some left over and sweet Ava offered some cake to the table next to us who had a young girl also celebrating her birthday! I saw a glimpse of Ava's tender heart in that moment. </div>

After we got back from Disney, we had a week to unwind and get things back in order and then it was time for Sally to have her eye surgery. Days leading up to surgery I was convinced it wasn't going to happen because Sally seemed to be getting sick and the other two were coughing and not acting well and I just knew it would her demise. But, God protected that girl from being too sick to go into surgery. On Monday, the 19th, she had her surgery at 12:30 and everything went splendidly. I must say she is a funny little thing on "silly juice". However, she is not so funny OR nice after surgery. She was Miss Cranky pants and oh, so demanding! </div>

We spent the next week forcing, borderline torturing, Sally to get eye drops in her eyes. We also made Christmas cookies, doing fun experiments with skittles, and making crafts and loving on my parents dog while they were away. </div>

Christmas Eve was a little different. We didn't go to my parents house since they were in Israel. But, we went to church for the Christmas Eve service, got some french fries to eat in the car as we went around and looked at Christmas lights. Curtis hit a mailbox and scratched the car up but other than that it was uneventful. Then we headed home to and let the girls watch a Christmas movie while we cleaned up, read some Christmas books and went to bed. <br />
<br />
Christmas morning was fun. The girls got some cool stuff. They got the Mrs. Potts tea cart, 2 remote-controlled helicopters, baking stuff, jammies, tutus and clothes, the Fishing Game, Candy Land (Disney themed), and another game I can't remember-it is Disney themed, telescope, stuffed animals, Sophia the First toys, and some other cool stuff. Then we headed to my sisters for a delicious lunch and some fun family time. <br />
<br />
It was a wonderful weekend and a wonderful month. So thankful for all the memories made and all the things we learned and all the opportunities presented to us. <br />

My bubble loving, toy sharing, twirling little sweetheart. You are such a joy. I have watched you grow up into a sweet four year old. I love your sweet spirit. You are a happy little girl, type-A personality. You love others, you love being imaginative, you love your sisters intensely, you love to play, you love to be outside, you love to splash in puddles, you love to please others. I have loved watching you show others compassion. I am so proud of you. While we were at Disney, you offered your birthday cake to another young girl having a birthday, too. You would willingly give up your side of the stroller because Sally wanted to sit on the side you were on. You would share your food and sweets with Sally and us. You didn't ask for toys the entire time we were there and when we did finally get you your birthday present that you picked out, you were patient and waited the 3 more days until we got home to open it. You picked out a toy for Sally when Daddy took you to pick out your present and you couldn't wait to give it to her. When we got home from Disney you patiently waited for us to open your present until after we unloaded the car . As soon as we got it opened you lovingly shared it with your sister. I was so very proud of your generosity and patience. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Ez8DCvnfh7kmqeIMjiFqgdXaNLGCpCbWOwkdOLQS1nA9L1nNjIbFvF6ljY90YvOlqrh49EfYntB-i6ULnWkuxQNy3EihbZBNktUA4pD7KxSNi9BIaeCIhEzfp1eVp_Q2bsfwS0NUXLc/s1600/IMG_0027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Ez8DCvnfh7kmqeIMjiFqgdXaNLGCpCbWOwkdOLQS1nA9L1nNjIbFvF6ljY90YvOlqrh49EfYntB-i6ULnWkuxQNy3EihbZBNktUA4pD7KxSNi9BIaeCIhEzfp1eVp_Q2bsfwS0NUXLc/s320/IMG_0027.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

Not every moment or every day is sunshine and roses. You still will whine and cry about absolutely silly things. I think today you have cried over sitting in a certain spot on the couch, sharing a tutu with Sally and having to eat your lunch. <br />

You love sweets, mostly. You will eat healthier food, but usually it is to get something that isn't healthy afterwards. You still prefer your milk with ovaltine. You enjoy Mac and Cheese, turkey, taco soup, chicken, peas, beans, grapes, apples, fruit pouches, juice (apple or cranberry), crackers, veggie chips, pretzels, goldfish. <br />

You love going places. Every evening after we put you to down to bed, you ask where we are going in the morning. Anywhere is an adventure to you. You love going to the zoo, DISNEY, Mimi and PopPops house, your cousins houses, any friends home, church, and school. You also love having friends over and are really good at sharing your things.<br />

The biggest part of your 4th year was becoming a big sister for the second time. You handled it like a champ. You are really a very caring big sister to both of your sisters. You take care of them, help them out and do your best to be a good influence. <br />

You like trying on new clothes. <br />
<br />
These are just a few things about you. There really is so much and if I could sit in front of my computer for several hours I could continue on. But right now you are "sinking into the ground" and Sally is being requested to help you. And it is just too fun to not watch your mind come alive with such creativity. One last thing, though. I remember about 7 years ago thinking that your daddy and I would never be able to have our own kids. Now, we have 3 beautiful, healthy, sassy, fun girls. You were my dream come true, the desire of my heart. God knew how badly I wanted a child and He blessed me beyond my wildest dreams with you. You have been such a wonderful baby, toddler and now 4 year old. I am so proud of you. I am so thankful that God put you in my life. We suit each other. I love you so, so much. <br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Evelyn, </div>
You are so close to turning a year old and I can't believe how time has flown. I have enjoyed you so much. You have been such a pleasant baby. If I didn't already have my hands full and have to have a 4th c-section, I would totally have another baby because you have been so much fun and I am sad that your first year is coming to an end. <br />
<br />
You are crawling and into everything. You grab everything and anything you can get your hands on. You are very interested in the Christmas tree. You love toys and anything you can put in your mouth. You find every speck of paper and dirt on the ground to put in your mouth. You love just being able to get around. You are at that stage where you like to play for a while, crawl over and check in with me and then go back to your playing. It is really cute. <br />
<br />
Some of your favorite toys are Little People because they go easily into your mouth. You also like the Alphabet train and anything that makes noise. You LOVE your horse fuzzy. It is a source of comfort for you. It is super cute when you go to bed and you pull it close to you and suck your thumb and go to sleep. <br />
<br />
This month you got to go to Disney World. You had a blast. You loved meeting the characters, especially Mickey Mouse. You loved all the sights and sounds of the place. You enjoyed the rides and had a smile on your face most of the time. I got to have you in the ERGO baby a good majority of the trip. You would fall asleep and I felt like I was in heaven. It was glorious. <br />
<br />
You are almost 18 1/2 pounds. You are growing healthy and strong. You LOVE your bottles. I am starting to wonder how the transition to milk in a sippy cup is going to go. You will eat food but not as enthusiastically as you will your bottles. You have 4 teeth. Two top and two bottom. Your two top teeth are looking a bit bucky beaverish like your momma. You are wearing 12-18 month clothing. You sleep from 9-11:30 am, 2-5 pm, and 8:30 pm-7:30 am. So, you are a great sleeper. You are understanding the word no and will often back away from whatever it is I am saying no to. You like to say "yay" and get real excited when people clap. <br />
<br />
You really are such a joy. This month has been a whirlwind with everything we have had going on and I never did get your obligatory 10 month pictures, but I have some cute ones from our trip. <br />

So, in lieu of a daily thankful post, I thought I could list 30 things I am thankful for. So, here goes...<br />
<br />
1. God- I chose this picture because this is my favorite season and I love how God uses it to show how meticulous He is when He created this world. There are sprinkles of yellows, oranges, reds, browns, and greens that no human could ever completely re-create. I am thankful for God and all His many blessings. I am thankful for all the detail He put into every little thing in this world. I am thankful that I can see His fingerprints on everything. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Husband- I am thankful that 16 years ago I traveled about 14 hours away from my family to Harding University to meet this guy a couple years later. It is funny how God can take you on brilliant journeys that you never saw coming or would never plan and then all of a sudden it hits you like a ton of bricks why He did it the way He did. These past 13 years haven't always been easy...some of it has been downright hard, but I am thankful that we are both determined to make the hard and difficult times more in tune with God's will. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Which brings me to this: My parents. This year has been a little bit harder for Curtis and I and some things we had to face. My parents have been loving, supportive and encouraging on this journey. They watch our kids every night for us while we go to Celebrate Recovery. They even watch them over night which allows Curtis and I to go out to dinner alone afterwards, and then in the morning we have an early session of marriage counseling. I am thankful that I have these two people to go to when I am hurt and broken. And I am thankful Curtis has them, and the girls. </div>

4. Ava. This was a child we prayed for and took us a long time to see that prayer answered. But, again, God has perfect timing. My imaginative, endless cycle of abounding energy, silly, finds all the potty humor in movies and thinks it wildly funny, sensitive, people pleasing, God loving child. She is such a sweet girl who hates to disappoint. Her prayers are sweet and innocent. Her smiles are beautiful. Her love for family is warm. I am thankful for this sweet, sweet, beautiful blessing. She has made being a mommy a fun one. </div>

5. Sally Oh man, this girl makes being a mommy an adventure (sometimes a very exhausting one). My loving, stubborn, strong willed, goofy, twirling, chatterbox, sunglass wearing, picky dresser and eater. This girl really loves life. She is full of herself. She has HUGE meltdowns, but there is another incredibly sweet, loving, snuggly side of her that is so refreshing. She is more relaxed, doesn't always have to be doing anything and enjoys a good cuddle on the couch with me every day. I am thankful for the lessons she has taught be about myself (especially me realizing I may have an anger problem that can keep me from shining God's light into their life.) I am thankful for her coming 14 months after Ava...SURPRISE! She is the BEST surprise ever!!!</div>

6. Evelyn. If I could express her in one word it would be, JOY. She is happiness to me. Her smile lights up my life. I am so thankful I had her in one of my hardest years yet. Her love for me is what helped me get up many mornings and keep going. She is such an action packed child who Ava calls "Handsy" because she always has her hands on everything. But, I am thankful that God decided it was good for us to have another one. She is such a blessing and I can't imagine life without her. </div>

7. Weight Watchers. Like I have said, this year was hard. Hard on many reasons and on many different levels. Another setback to this year was coming to terms that my weight gain was getting out of control. I am thankful God finally woke me up to realizing this and motivating me to do something about it. While I still struggle with my eating and motivation, God has shown me that I can do this, that it doesn't have to be that way. </div>

8. Speaking of Weight Watchers, I couldn't do it without the meetings. The only meetings I can make it to these days is during the week. Thankfully it is on a day where they girls usually have preschool so I only have to take the baby. This picture is Evie at the Weight Watchers meetings building up her immunities on the floor of the store. I am thankful that these sweet women (and men) have accepted her into the group and don't get upset when she isn't 100% cooperative. </div>

23. Preschool. I am thankful these girls love preschool and their teachers. I am thankful that they have other adults who pour God's love and light into them. I am thankful for teachers who love these girls for who they are (even if they are stubborn, strong willed and sassy). </div>

25. Braveness. I am thankful that Sally showed such bravery during a scary time in her 2 years of life. She was so good and easy while getting stitches and here in this picture, getting them removed. She amazes me with her cooperation at the doctors. Yesterday she got a shot and flinched but shed no tears and was proud of her booboobaid (bandaid). </div>

The list could really go on because the fact that I have this moment, at 4:30 am to be here is something to be thankful for. I am thankful for so many prayers answered this year, so much growth and change in my marriage this year. So much. So much to be thankful for. Praise the Lord. </div>
