From Noelle's birthday.

Noelle lights her own (ten) candles. :-)

This is our new (to us) van to accommodate our growing family. Praise God for providing! I feel like everything that has happened to us over the last year is just a big testimony to how God always provides for His children, and no one should ever be afraid to step out on faith to follow Him!

Nevertheless, I was a little nervous the first time I was in the driver's seat of a twelve-passenger vehicle. It wasn't so bad though.

The homeschool group at church got together and did a mostly-frozen-meals baby shower for us, but we had sickness so we couldn't make it! The cake was brought home to us though, and we had some of it last Sunday.

This was after having Chinese food for dinner, so Timothy decided to try eating the cake with chopsticks.

Marti bought a few chicks, and a couple ducklings last week. The kids love them--they are pretty cute!

Chavvah helps hold one. :-)

See how cute they are?

I made some veils for the girls on Saturday; after a year, the veils we made/bought initially have worn out quite a bit, so it's nice to have some new ones.

Anastasia models one. This style also doubles as an infinity scarf.

And now Mary and Chavvah have their very own veils that work well for them, and that they actually like wearing!

Selfies during after-Mass class.

The things we do to keep our toddler quiet so we can stay in class!

Normal size egg one of the chickens gave, and a miniature egg...What's up with that??

Anastasia displays the lemon meringue pie we had with dinner. :-)

Photos, finally!

Beautiful sleeping Chavvah.

We went to the March for Life a few weeks ago. What a blessing to participate in this!

More from the March for Life.

The very same day was Mary's fourth birthday. She got a pretty awesome cake, and had a fun time with friends over to celebrate with her.

Chavvah has a Minion cupcake.

I can hardly believe she's already four years old!

We've been having some very warm weather here lately--nice enough to spend some time out on the deck.

Last Friday, we didn't make it to our church's Stations of the Cross, but the kids printed and colored pictures for us to do our own Stations here at home.

Mary "reads" to Chavvah. Pretty sweet.

David turned twelve last week, and here he is modeling his new homemade hoodie from Grandma Lisa.

I'll try to post pictures more regularly!
