Lucy-too cute to be missed

Sometimes really cute photos get missed. As I was looking back over September, there were some of Lucy that I just had to put up.

MINE!

I know, I know. Everyone has a bad hair day once in a while.

Look at my Pony slippers

A little dirt never hurt anyone

Yee-Haw!

Too good to leave a single drop

The First Few Days With Vaughn Rockwell Edewards

Loving Four Children:

Love is patient... when all four children are crying

Love is kind... when teaching the hard lessons to learn

Love is not rude... in training the children together

Love is not self-seeking... in the choices we make for them

Love is not easily angered... when the little ones sin

Love keeps no record of wrongs... at all

Love rejoices in the truth... when they choose wisely

Love always protects... from the things of this world

Love always trusts... that God is in charge

Love always hopes... that our training will lead them to the Lord

Love always perseveres... when hormones are raging and Vaughn is crying and Lucy is destroying the house and Jackson is fighting with the neighbor boy and Jordyn won't quit asking for whatever she has already asked for 10 times today!!!!!!

Big Hug

So I was sitting around sort of gloomy like the weather and Vaughnie was working quietly with his advanced calculus he likes so much. Well, my little genius looked over and must have seen the look on my face. Sure enough he came right over and gave me a big hug.

Favorite Photo Friday

Can't beat this. Every now and then (at least for me who isn't one of those camera experts) you get one of those photos that almost makes you cry. Well, in this case I did cry.

My Birthday Present

Look What I Got!?;(

My little girl turned 8 on September 24, 2008, the same day her little brother chose to grace us with his presence. Poor Jordyn. She tried so hard to be excited but deep down in her heart she was a little disappointed and concerned that her birthday would no longer be special. She also shares it with her Grandma Pam (not as intimidating). She was treated like a princess this year. Grandma Jan bought her horseback riding lessons and Daddy took her horseback riding on the beach. She got to choose where she wanted to go to breakfast and what she wanted for dinner. So she was happy. Sharing with Vaughn doesn't seem as bad as it did the day of. So Happy Belated Birthday Jordyn.

Welcome Vaughn

Well I am exhausted, but I wanted to let you know the boy has arrived, he is healthy as a horse, and Jackson won the "guess the weight" contest. Vaughn Rockwell Edewards weighs 7lbs 15 ounces, and was born at 2:16 am on Wednesday, September 24th sharing the date with Grandma Pam and big sister Jordyn. 

  Praise the Lord for He is good! We are ecstatic to welcome the little dude and to report he is a California kid even if he was delivered in the great white north. All are welcome to visit and hold him while he's hot. Grandma Jan was there with mommy and daddy to witness the little miracle and is staying the night at mommy's bedside while daddy goes home to get the big kids (lucy is now in that group) ready to visit the noobie.

  Much love, The Edewards Six

Quack Quack

As this pregnancy drags on I find myself very anxious, housebound and my patience seems to be non-existent. So the other day when I could not stand all the phone calls asking how I was doing and the whiny children, I had Aaron load everyone into the car (a task in itself these days for me) and we went to feed the ducks. It is something I have been wanting to take Lucy to do for a long time. She loves ducks, rubber and stuffed at least, and I wanted to let her meet a real live duck. She loved them. She ran around for quite a while, arms outstretched, yelling "Heaby!" That is something she has picked up in the last month or so. I started saying, "OH, you're so heavy" when I pick her up so now it is what she says when she wants up or wants to pick something up. She finally gave up on catching one and went to feeding them. She liked throwing it in the water to them the best.

Here We Go!

Let me at 'em!

I realize there is a mass in the corner of this photo. Can you guess what that is?
