My Family This Week

April 27, 2011 By Jackie Leave a Comment

We had a wonderful time at church on Sunday celebrating our Lord’s resurrection and had a great time with family afterwards.  Here are some pictures we took of our family at church.

Left to right:  Joseph (3), James (8 1/2), Julia (11 1/2), Janna (2 weeks), Me (Not telling.), and Joshua (6)
I have to share the story of the ties on my boys.  James put on a real tie and that prompted Joshua to want a tie.  He chose a yellow clip-on tie and put it on with the polo shirt he picked out.  He was so proud of himself and thought he looked handsome.
A little later as I was getting dressed I heard Joshua’s dresser drawers opening and shutting.  I was afraid he was going to change into old clothes or something.  Instead I found Joseph looking for a tie to wear, too.  He picked out a clip-on tie to wear over his sweater vest.  I thought they all looked very handsome.  Maybe this look will catch on and they will be considered trendsetters.  ðŸ˜‰

Here I am with my two girls.  Julia and Janna wore matching headbands I crocheted using my pattern.  Janna is also wearing some shoes I crocheted and a dress I made before she was born.  Side note:  It was hard to pose Janna because she was still kind of floppy.

Here is the first picture of all seven of us.  We are quite a crew.  Another side note:  I was wrong when I thought it was hard to get six people to smile for a picture, seven is much harder.  

In other news, Julia had her school music program on Tuesday and sung a solo.  It was beautiful and if I can ever get the video to upload to YouTube I will share it with you.

At Janna’s appointment on Tuesday she weighed 8 lbs. 3 oz and measured 22 1/4 inches long.  She is still sleeping and nursing a lot, but is starting to have more periods of alertness during the day.  I can’t believe she is three weeks old already.

My husband is busy coaching golf.  His team is having a good season, but the rain has caused them to have to reschedule a few matches.

Speaking of rain, we have had quite a bit lately.  Last fall we were praying for rain and now we are praying it will stop.  I guess we are never satisfied.  This would be the time that having rain barrels would be beneficial.  I am hoping that we can get our garden planted before July.  I know the farmers are feeling the same way.

Well, that is a little of what is going on around here this week.  What is happening with you and your family this week?
