Life has gotten away from us, and I have not posted for a long time.  Eric has been working very hard and has done numerous websites that are seperate from the York News Times site.  It has been a huge blessing, but it has kept him busy.  Hadley and Zoey Belle have been doing great, except for their colds that make them sound like seals.  Neither of them seem to mind too much, but I am taking them to the doctor tomorrow just so I am reassured that it is nothing more than a cold.

Hadley has kept us on our toes latley.  Last Wednesday she went to bible class and told me she was frustrated at Mr. Eric (one of her teachers) because “he wouldn’t bow tie me.”  I had no idea what this meant.  I kept trying to ask her and she just kept repeating the same thing.  So, tonight, I went into her class and asked her teacher if he knew what she was frustrated about.  He said he had no idea, but after some thinking was able to tell me that they were learning about Jesus healing the blind, and he had a blind fold.  Mystery solved.  She was frustrated because Mr. Eric wouldn’t blind fold her.  Sounds about right.  She probably would have run into walls and laughed hysterically next.  Despite her being “frustrated” she was still very well behaved, so I was happy.   Hadley didn’t get to go to church because of her cold, but they missed her in class and had a lot of wonderful compliments about her.  It is always nice to hear that other people like your kids.

Zoey Belle is just as wild as ever.  She is loving life and is so content.  I am getting excited for her first birthday, even though it is still two months away.  She is just such a little bundle of joy and we can’t get enough of her.

At church tonight, one of the women pulled me aside and asked me if her and her husband could watch our kids on Valentines Day so we could go out.  We are so blessed to have such wonderful people around us!

And, Emily watched the girls for us on Saturday so we could go out for Garrett’s birthday.  We had tons of fun, and Hadley and Zoey Belle LOVED having Emily here.  Hadley woke up crying the next morning begging for Emily.  We are very lucky to have her.

The blessings seem to just keep coming, and that is fine by me!
