Pictures

I finally uploaded a couple of pictures I had on my camera to share with you.

This is the biggest potato I have ever seen. Imagine my surprise when I opened the bag and pulled this huge one out. They were all pretty much steroid infused potatoes in that bag.



Yes, dinner was on hold so I could locate the camera and take a picture of it. Hmm...is that dedication or just plain sad?

I had posted here about winning a contest over at Bring The Rain. The prize was a custom made doll from Baby Be Blessed and she finally arrived on Family Day.

Presenting....Lucy!



I got to choose everything: hair colour, skin tone, clothes and best of all...the bible verse on Lucy's tummy...



I love this verse and it's so fitting for our Julie. We are always telling her she is a bright light that shines. She has been sleeping with her every night. I am amazed at the detail that was put into this doll.

Re-reading this verse I just have to say, I love the name Matthew. If I were to have another son that's what I would want to name him. It rolls off the tongue so nicely and all the Matthews I have known in my life so far (which are probably only about five) have been such nice people. Well, except for the one who is serving a life sentence in jail. I guess he wasn't so nice. Hmm...make that four nice Matthews I have known.

BUT I digress...

We are all sick in some form or another in this house. Sam and Jules haven't been to school at all this week and its highly likely that they won't be there tomorrow either. Jordan's cold has been lingering the longest and while I'm not one of those moms that rush to the doctor for every single thing, if it keeps up much longer I will definitely take her in. She's been tugging on her ears in the last couple of days, so my first thought was an ear infection, but it seems to indicate she is tired because she falls over asleep right after. Last night she slept through the night and I was so grateful for the full night's sleep she had.

Ian put her in his jacuzzi tub last night and we got these pictures.

Poor little thing...doesn't she look sick??



And he taught her to splash! So much for quickie baths in the kitchen sink!



These last couple of days have been exciting ones, and I have something I want to share, but I need to wait a little longer. Hopefully I will be able to share it with you soon!
