I'm back from my sickness enduced absence!! It seems like ages since I last posted. Carlie didn't go to school on Monday or Tuesday so we pretty much just sat at home. She didn't have a fever, but her ear hurt really bad and she just felt yucky. We managed to get her My State Notebook done as well as her book report (we did a little fine tuning on what she already had done) and we have started on her science experiement.....and I am exhausted! But it was well worth it because today she made a 100 on her notebook as well as her book report :)
Have I ever mentioned that Carlie is an over-achiever? Sheneeds has to be perfect. Yes, she knows that she is not, but she expects the best out of herself. This is something that I struggle with. I know that I do push the girls and some have even told me that I push them too hard. And while I know the consequenses of my actions, I only want them to do their best. I don't want them to look back and say, "if I had only tried harder". I love them for who they are no matter what and I know they know that.
Both of these are beans...one that has been watered and one that has not. Can you guess which one is which?!

Had to throw a picture of the goofball in!! I took this picture before bed. Evidently Spiderman pj's go with the plaid hat :) He is one of the funniest kids I know!
My sleepy little princess. I remember not long after she was born, I knew that she was going to be a sweetheart. She was the best baby in the world...always a sleeper, just a good baby. I always said that she was just like Carl....sweet :)
I guess that pretty much sums it up. After spending all last week with the kids I feel like I love them more than ever and that made me realize something: Sometimes it takes something big to knock you back so you can see things the way He wants you to.....but sometimes the Lord just gives you little things to bring you back home!!
