Crazy Times

I would have to say that we are certainly busier now than we have ever been. I'm not sure how Ashley manages to keep her sanity. While we love our kids so very much, they have required so much. I'm so spent when I get home from work, and then when I have a free moment and am rested up, I usually fill it quickly with some task that has been waiting for days to get accomplished. I used to blog more frequently, but now my time for blogging is so rare. BUT, God is still so good to us. Someday we'll look back at these crazy times and laugh at how crazy they were, but then we'd say we wouldn't have had it any other way.

Our Most Recent Family Picture

This is the most recent picture we've had taken of all of us. I am so incredibly blessed to have such an awesome family!

Wrestle Mania - Papa Style!

I love my family!

This past week we had the awesome privilege of spending time with my Mom and Dad. They got to spend some great time with the kids. I must admit they were probably a little more tired when they left than when they arrived, but I simply cannot imagine why. I'm sure it has something to do with the youngin's. Abigail still has the hardest time understanding why grown-ups can't just keep playing all day long. It was so great to have time with them.
Now we are in Roanoke, VA spending time with Ashley's family. This is the first time we have all been together since last June! That's way too long. Her grandparents and sister's family (husband and two kids), and our clan has all converged on her parent's beautiful piece of heaven on earth in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I've almost forgotten how majestic these Virginia mountains are. Ashley's parents' house is on the side of a hill overlooking a wide open valley. The view out of the picture window in the living room is so beautiful. Certainly one of my favorite spots in all of Virginia. I wish we had the time to visit some of my other favorite spots as well as friends. Hopefully we'll be able to connect with them somehow. But it wouldn't be the same without my family. I love my family!
