Just us, our family!

It is nice to have pictures of daily life. There are not many times we have an "outsider" available to capture these moments. Sometimes in the middle of little things I think, I just want to remember this. Little diaper bottoms, cute feet, the sound of "mommy", the talk between the kids, the imaginary friends. I adore our family, I want Jesus to receive all the glory for arranging this perfectly imperfect family. Our family does not look what I could of imagined in my wildest dream! Anthony and I discussed 3-4 children, 2-3 years apart! Wow!!!! We were BLESSED with three children in less than 18 months!! So many days it feels like a constant struggle to be loving, patient, kind, and productive with three little ones, and a hubby that has the responsibility beyond imagination on his hands! But, I know that Jesus has the perfect plan already established! As time goes by I see glimpses of that plan, and it humbles me to tears to know that he chose us, to be together until He calls us home.

Teaching hopscotch to our little guys!
 This is a snap shot each evening!! Daddy getting home from work, three little ones playing outside! This is what my memory will see forever of this age.....I think we have a stair step order of children here~
 Daddy took off his scrubs, it is time for races! I think Mommy jumps highest!
 Yes, I will play with you sweet baby girl!
 Wrestle and pillows with Daddy before bed!
Jayne Elizabeth enjoys MY makeup!! After she gently applied my mascara ( to her face ) she made her debut for her brothers. Johnathan said "what on your face sister?? It looks like camoflauge.." So sweet and sincere, but it wasnt appreciated by his sister.....ha, ha!

 Our precious little girl loves her food, and loves to wear it too!!! Here is her peanut butter facial! What can I say, she is just like her mama! I see chocolate pedicures in our future!
Thank you Jesus for this perfectly imperfect family. Thank you for friends and family that help us on this journey. Let them see you, through me.
