"Where's Jericho?"

That's the question I just asked the other kids. I went looking, and this is what I found...

No one coerced her... she put herself in there. LOL

Sickie Picnic

Since none of the kids are feeling well (fevers, cough, runny noses) they just had toast for breakfast... on a sheet... watching PBS...

It's been what?!?

Three months.  Yes, you heard that right.  It's been three months since our "little" man finally made his grand entrance into this world weighing a whopping 10 lb.  Last check (10 days ago) he was 14 lb. 10 oz.

He is smiley and content most of the time.  Though he does have his moments...

He sleeps well.  Such a blessing after dealing with Shi and Jericho's nighttime issues for the last 3 years!

He's got a bit of a cold and I wasn't able to get a great smile out of him for pictures today.  But he's still cute, don't you think. :)

Phoenix Justice ~ 3 months old

Carrots

Victory came after lunch and said, "It's a Phoenix carrot and a Kevin carrot!"  (If you know my brother - who is 6' 7" tall - you'll get this one...)

"Kevin"... and "Phoenix"

A few moments later I was treated to this...

Get Real

Usually I try to post the fun stuff here on my blog.  Most of the time.  Today, I'm going to get real.  There are days when I wonder why God called me to be a mom.  And why he called me to be a mom to so many!  Today is one of those days.

Sometimes the repetitiveness gets to me.  The constant crying, whining, and complaining.  We've got our share of it today!  The declarations that "there's nothing to do" and "I'm bored" and all the tattling gets to me.

The baby, who is seemingly only happy when being feed or held.  The kids that don't want to do what they're told.  The arguing.  It's all too much!

The good news is, God DID call me to this job.  And He will give me the strength I need to get through this, and anything else that comes my way.

Would you pray for me today?  Thanks.  I need it!
