Bad blogger, bad blogger

ok, ok,
I know I've been the biggest blogg slacker since John's been home. For some reason my printer wouldn't read my card, and then I've been tired since I'm due soon....excuses, excuses. No excuses, do work...right Katie V.?

So, it's been absolutely wonderful having John home!! He's bought a new chainsaw and has gone bananas in our back yard (pictures soon to come). And really, besides the house basics, he's just been fixing everything I've let be broken for the past 1.5 yrs.
I'll be induced next week sometime (probably Friday), if the baby doesn't come any sooner. I'm sooo huge and am pretty much very uncomfortable, so I'm hoping he comes ASAP!

Besides that, the kiddos are on spring break. That's really about the wrap on us. I'll post some good pics soon. My card is full, so I'll need to figure out how to get that thing downloaded!

Good friends :)


Theresa, Rita, Chloe and I :)

Let's do somethin' silly!


Here are some pics of my great friend Theresa and her kids. She was so kind to let us stay with her before John got on-island and has also watched the kids for us a couple times! Thanks T!!
Chloe and Irene's trip to the Jonus Brother's Movie....pictures to come!

A little beach time....

John and the boys....ready for our beach treasure adventure!

Joel and a "treasure".....sooo cool!

Chloe and Luke have found coconuts!...Joel has found another really cool treasure....styrophome! A good life is possibly about lower expectations??

Maybe there's another coconut in my belly? I looks that way. A really BIG coconut :)

Together again!!!







We finally have our family back together again! We are all loving every minute of it! John is a novelty to all the kids and they are really enjoying him. Luke asks to wrestle about every 5 minutes. John actually enjoys wrestling with him, and says that "being around Luke, gives him alot of energy". I think this is a true sign that God made those two for each other, since most people look at Luke and get worn out! Joel has been taking naps and staying up late with John, and they've been talking about all kinds of things and Chloe has enjoyed giving him lots of hugs and kisses, and playing all the car games her dad is teaching her (actually a great way to get them out of a tantrum).
It is amazing to see them all together and John is absolutly increadible with them! We all feel so blessed!
John came in Thurs. night and the past two days have been fairly unscheduled. It's been unusually cold here, but we've taken the kids to the beach every morning and have been on some "treasure hunts" to get the energy out. Today is our last day of leave, and then John will begin the "decompression process" of work for the next couple weeks.
I'll keep adding pics as I find ways to get internet. I finally found an internet lobby to get this stuff on, but we'll have different lodging situation starting tomorrow, so we'll see when I make it back on.
Blessings to everyone and we'll try to keep everyone updated :)
