It's Been a Long Time
It's been over two years since my last post. And what an eventful two years it has been! I feel the need to catch up here. God has been humbling me lately, something He never seems to tire of doing (thankfully). I go through these spells where I seem to be on top of most things, or at least I can fool myself that I am. Then come those times where I feel like though I might be very busy and overwhelmed, I'm not doing anything well at all.
Well, I am busy, that's certain. We have another child--sweet baby Wesley. If you've met him, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, I'm sorry for your loss. He's always grinning at whatever antics his brothers and sister are up to. He's never met someone he didn't like, and although he hides his face like he's shy, it's so easy for anyone to make him giggle. He is a real treasure, and he makes me want to have a dozen more. That is before I take into account that he cannot crawl, walk, or even talk (or scream no, never!!). Hopefully God will hear my plea to hold any more blessings until we get a little more space...and a nanny...and a housekeeper.
Logan is a brain. He just walks around noticing all kinds of inconvenient things and trying to discuss them at inconvenient times. He's a great big brother, even though it totally cramps his style. He's crazy about technology, and all he can talk about sometimes is, "someday when I get an iPod, or Nintendo DS, or whatever". Logan is a ten year old trapped in a six year old's body, or so he thinks. He is the quirkiest, sweetest, funniest, most creative kid I know. The boy has never met a stranger, and if he starts talking to you, you need to either make yourself comfortable or make yourself invisible because he won't be stopping for a breath anytime soon. I love this amazing kid!
Malachi is all heart. He has a strong sense of justice and fairness (even if it's a little biased for his side). He has more energy than you can shake a stick at, and I think he might be part monkey. (not an endorsement of evolution) I always feel like there is a lot about him that I don't know. He doesn't always talk about what he's feeling or thinking (not that he could get a word in edgewise with Logan around). Chi is a little mysterious to me, but I know he has a huge heart, and God's going to do amazing things through this little fireball.
Bella is without question a precious little...stinkerpot. She has had Matt and I wrapped around her little finger since she was born. I should have known what she would be like as a two year old from our first night together. She fussed and cried all night where all of our other babies slept peacefully. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants, which was kind of cute at first, but now requires lots of discipline both for her and her parents. She definitely knows that cuteness is her greatest asset. One thing I love about Bella is her ability to find and collect unusual things. Pretty rocks, dead mice, crawdads (or as she calls them "ugly bugs"), sweetgum tree fruit ('pikey balls), flowers, and colorful leaves. She's an adventurer and we're going to have lots of fun together.
Well, that's all I have energy for tonight. I caught up on the fun stuff. I'm thinking my next post will be about the humbling I mentioned at the beginning.
