Happy 4th of July!!!! (a little late)
Look how beautiful all of my babies are! God bless this country & God bless my babies!

"God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" Numbers 23:19

i like it!

life moves on & quickly too

summer - from all signs in the stores - is almost over! but i keep telling myself we havent even been in summer for a full month. not until the 20th of July. why are we rushing it? well i'm not rushing it - but i feel like i'm being made to rush it. by crap, the tomatoes are still not putting our well & i havent gotten one good watermelon yet - so dont tell me summer is almost over. i think what gets me is the school supplies that are out already at the stores. i have to stay away or i will spend way to much money on new markers, crayons & sharpies. i have issues. but then again, dont we all.
my mind reels constantly. the state of the nation - the government take over of everything. but of the healthcare system - that frightens me - really bad. my kids growing up way to fast. i'm missing too much. i just know it. my mother having a bout in the hospital because she got the wrong blood pressure medicine. the thought of losing my mother or father. i cant handle it. paying the bills. being a good person. making it to heaven. the canteloupes not going bad. losing weight. making sure my chickens dont die. helping elizabeth not have abandonment issues. helping abby have self control. having rachel not flounder in her life decisions - knowing where she should go in life. asher being a man. esther surviving the "loving" she recieves when i turn my back! .....so many other things i'm not even mentioning.
ok well i will have to finish this rant later. asher is screaming in his bed. i love him so much. "no teef, just lips!"

Georgia Night

Georgia Night 1993-2009

She was a faithful dog. She was a standard of what a dog should be.
She will be missed.

Today was one of the worst days we have ever had. To put down our faithful companion....well we feel lost about now. We know life goes on and that we will feel better before too long, but right now we are broken.

Georgia....we love you. Sleep well old girl.

not a christian nation???

did you know that the USA is no longer considered a Christian nation? at least the new president doesnt think so as he isnt having a "national day of prayer" at the white house this year. we are just a "regular" nation. when did that happen? ummm, i guess the day mccain lost the election. how did so many people get blinded by this man? and we also have a vice president telling israel that they need to get use to the idea of a palestinian state. do they think the new prime minister of israel will agree? whoa to the USA when we turn our backs on israel. i'm so ashamed of the government and leadership in this country and we only have ourselves to blame. my poor children.

anyway, heres a cute picture of elizabeth - who did not take her medicine today. man she about drove me nuts, but she is a beautiful girl!

David Asher

needless to say, David Asher is not wanting to give up his spot as "the baby". he is constantly getting in the bassinet, taking the baby's pacifer, sitting in her carseat/bouncy seat. He wants to "try milkie" (meaning nurse -but i cured him of that by offering it once & he tried it & said no thank you). i can deal with holding him & reassuring him. i want him to realize he will always be "my baby" - just not the youngest. he is so darn cute!!!

i bet if batman had of been as cute as David Asher he wouldnt have worn a mask!

Esther Adlai

well it's been a busy new year. the baby finally got here!! she is precious. she is beautiful. i'm madly in love. i would do this (this being go through surgery) over & over again if the results are that i am blessed with the most wonderful babies ever. it is such a privilege to be a mother. it is such a privilege to raise children. i'm so blessed (and way tired).

Esther - barely 24 hours old.

Sweet Baby Esther feet.

Esther @ 2 weeks.

a new year .... what will it bring?

well in light of the just recent inauguration, well i'm not optimistic. but that's ok. i am realistic that politicians will be just that... politicians - much to a lot of americans' dismay.

and i am very realistic about the fact that this baby will get here and i will not be pregnant! i know i should enjoy the moment, but man, the moment is fast losing it's appeal. i just want to hold my little girl.

asher just turned 2 and now he says "why? cuz!"

abby grace is demanding a chihuahua.

elizabeth is asked me if asher's penis sings.

and rachel - what can i say but she is a big help to me. she is growing up. maturing and turning into a young lady in every sense of the word and she is sharing everything about herself turning into that young woman with me & i mean EVERYTHING!
