I am trying out a new blog to see if it is a bit easier to use.

This morning, Olivia got up at 5:50 (AAAHHH) to go to the bathroom, and then she was ready to start her day. Mark told her to lay in our bed so that we could rest for a few minutes. We got settled in, and I closed my eyes to "rest" a little more. I felt a little hand on my face and the words "I love you with all my heart" whispered in my ear. What a sweet way to start a day!
PS I have been on a home organization kick, so I have not been negligent in my blogging! I will try to get back to it this week!
We have had a busy couple of weeks. Isaac has had several games a week to make up for rained out games. His team has still not won a game, but Isaac has hit the ball and had snacks, so he is happy! He has a game on Friday and Saturday and then an awards ceremony on Saturday night, and that should finish out his season.
Bailey and Olivia finished out their school last week. They finished the year with a program in which each class got up and sang a song or two. They were really cute! We have been very happy with their school this year–both girls have been very comfortable there. Olivia and Anna Grace will go two days a week next year, and Isaac and Bailey will be at home with me.
Anna Grace had her fifteen month check-up on Wednesday. She is still a little anemic, so her doctor suggested trying to give her more leafy green veggies (AAHHH!) and red meat. She has completely refused to take the iron drops. I can not say that I blame her, they are nasty! She was not fooled by the mixing it with orange juice trick! She weighed twenty-five pounds and was thirty-four and a half inches tall. That puts her at the 85% for weight and off the charts for height. She had only gained four ounces in the last three months, but the doctor was not concerned. Dr. Hogan is a wonderful blessing! I am very thankful for her!
Isaac had Kindergarten graduation on Saturday morning. There were nineteen graduates, and they were adorable! They sang a song (“He’s Still Working on Me”), said three pledges and recited a Bible verse (Luke 2:52). The reception was a little crazy—any reception with four small children is a little crazy. Isaac is now officially a first grader!
We went to the Baton Rouge Zoo on Monday. It was a beautiful day, and we had a great time. We heard a swan trumpet, which was really impressive to me! The most ridiculous thing I saw was the Coke machine. The drinks were $2.00 (which is ridiculous enough), and the machine accepted credit cards. I felt the credit card debt in
Our family has been under attack by germs for the past week and a half! Mark, Isaac, Bailey & Olivia all had a "fever" virus last week. Anna Grace has had a stomach virus today. The three older children have been wonderful today while I was taking care of our sweet, sick baby. I am ready for everyone to be well!
Now that Olivia is three (or she will be in two days), she has moved from the nursery to Kid’s Praise. She has been very excited about this move for a few weeks now. Today was her first day to go, and she loved it! She was very proud of her Mother’s Day refrigerator magnet she made. She is growing up!
