For Your Viewing Pleasure

Dave found the camera! And there were some pictures of cute kids on it.

I Was Actually Going to Blog Today

But I can't find my camera. That is all.

Chocolate is Yummy

Look at that cute little chocolate face. After not eating much of anything for the last two or three days, Jordanna redeemed herself tonight. She ate 1.5 adult-sized pieces of ham quiche, a whole chocolate chip muffin, and a few bites of her fruit. She must be growing!

Ten Weeks

Week 10 marks a milestone for your baby-to-be. This first part of fetal development is all about organization. All your baby-to-be's cells have been directed to their places—brain tissue is growing rapidly, muscles are forming, fingers and toes are becoming defined. Your baby-to-be looks less like an embryo (or an alien) and more like the baby in miniature that he is. He's getting bigger, too.

This week your little one is about 1 1/4 inches long and weighs in at .04 ounce. He's about the size of a red grape.

Sweet Sounds

Psalm 8:2

From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise.

Little Stinker

I knew she was too quiet while I was making lunch!

Busy Girlies

I've found that perhaps one of the hardest parts of schooling Caleb this year is keeping the girls busy while he works.

Here's Jordanna playing with the counting bears that came with Caleb's math curriculum.
And here's Alexa working on her (busy) work, which makes her feel like she is doing school, too.

Lack of Blogging Explained

Yep, that would be baby #4. The cause for my lack of blogging and my lack of cooking anything resembling healthy meals and my lack of cleaning house and a lot of other things as well. Coming around December 18th (for those of you who already knew, my due date was changed based on this ultrasound).
