Serious need for Catchup

It is pathetic that for the past 4 months I have lost my camera cord and Josh miraculously found it a week ago and didn't tell me til I saw it by the computer.  So now I have some major pictures to upload.  I am going to try to narrow it down so I don't have an eternal post.  Because of this though, I have not taken very many pictures lately so it might not be too bad.  Anyway, here goes...

First is Lucy's Christmas Performance at Preschool.  It was very cute and they sang some sweet gospel songs.  My favorite was "Angels watchin' over me my Lord."  It was great.  She loved preschool.  I have since taken her out because to pay 214 a month and just have her learn songs, play and do a craft it wasn't worth it.  She is, after all, going to kindergarten in the fall and still doesn't know her letters.  I have been working with her at home and she is getting better.  I like having her home anyway too.

This was after she was done.
Then we had a fun snow day.

Next was Christmas morning.  It was so fun.  I love looking back and seeing how cute my house is at Christmas and right now it is so bare and gross.

Lucy got some sweet tangled nail decor.

Jack and Colin loved their guns from their cousins.

Then jump ahead til today.  I told you I didn't take very many pics.  I love the pics I took today.  They explain our family dinamic perfectly. 

 Our little princess.

 Our almost always happy smiling boy.

 Colin aggressively loving on Jack while Jack smiles and lets him like the best big brother.  I love it cuz Colin tries as hard as he can and doesn't even make Jack budge.

 My sweet boy who at Parent Teacher Conference had his teacher say how she just loves this boy.  During class one day she heard him ask his little Muslim friend if he went to church and the boy said no.  Jack told him that doesn't make Jesus happy and the boy looked at him like he was crazy.  He is so obedient and good.  I hope he stays that way.  I hope Lucy and Colin can learn that from him....

 These two best friends.  They love each other so much and never fight.

 Now we add in the instigator of almost everything.  You can see Colin was not happy she joined the group picture. 

I love these three kids.  I want a million more because they teach me daily and make me smile and keep me selfless.  They had a wonderful St. Pats day.  We went to breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa.  We went to Home Depot to make our courtyard ready for spring and use our GREEN thumb abilities with plants and flowers.  We had green ketchup and fries for lunch (gag)  and we had green cookies and Lucky Charms for dinner.  Josh was at the basketball games so yes it was a lazy St Patricks day but the kids loved it and thats all that matters.   Here's to the camera cord being found and more blogging to come.
