This week has been really crazy. There is just so much to do and barely enough time to do it. I was sick Friday nite through Sunday, so I am behind on some things.
I have been working for Mr. Schenck a lot this week, Caleb, Isaac, and now Hanners have come down with something. A bad croupy cough and earache. Bleh! Isaac has woke up every nite this week having a hard time breathing. We are gooting them, steaming them, and Robitussining them. I am tired of sickness! So I hope it leaves VERY soon!
We are also getting ready for Jocelyn’s big 17th birthday party that is Saturday. It’s gonna be the bomb!
We get to see a whole bunch of people and I am pretty excited!
Another things that is HUGE is… I finally got my own laptop! A Dell Vostro 1500. I got that thing jammed packed with a while bunch of goodies! It’s a pretty sweet laptop. I am so very happy! I ordered it last nite and I am hoping to get it sometime this week.
Paulie was such a HUGE help with getting it. He is pretty Awesome! Thanks, Dude!
Now… because of everything we have had to do this week, I don’t have a big huge wonderful article to blog. Instead, I have some really really cute pictures to show you!
These first ones are Cal-Eb, my Superman! Mom was upstairs with the Littles and she im’ed me to come up and bring the camera. When I walked in this is what I saw:

Isn’t he adorable? I just love this guy! He is my particular friend, and just an awesome little man!
Then yesterday I went grocery shopping and got a special treat, some Newman-O’s. They are all natural, organic Oreo cookies. I like them A LOT!
So we all ate some before dinner and LucyLillie even got one. I only gave her the cookie part though. Here she is taking her first bite:

Doesn’t she look so content! Sweet thing!

Taking another bite because its soo good!

She was showing me her cookie, but her tongue got in the way. But it has cookie on it.

I asked her for a bite and she was like… No way, Jose!

I think maybe she thought I said take a bite, because then she took a bite, instead of sharing with me!

She finally conceded and handed me her cookie for a bite. She is just a sweetie.

She is such a good girl and such a darling! I can’t believe how big she is getting. She has 4 teeth now and has been able to eat a lot of foods now.
AND… She is walking! :O She has been taking about 4 steps, but today has just been going and going and going. She is still a bit wobbly, but she is getting to full speed. Man…
I will try and comment y’all soon, but there is a project I just HAVE to start on and I am really excited to start it. So… don’t think I have forgotten y’all!
OH… and… be watching because I am going to be giving away some pretty awesome things in the next couple days here! I am totally excited about it. I can’t wait to tell y’all about it! ![]()
Have a great nite!
Love, Blessings and Prayers As Always,

Thanks for stopping by “Daily” at the “Planet”!!

I hope you all get better. I have been unwell since yesterday evening myself. Not sure if it’s bad allergies/sinus infection or a head cold. I agree, all these “bugs” need to go away, it’s nearly summer. Your sister is adorable and she’s sure grown. Have a good night =)

OOOOH. I love Newman o’s …haven’t had them in a long time.
I love that picture of Caleb sleeping in his chair. Kind of reminds me of Jordan at that age!
I like the pic of Luli with her tongue out! LOL. Too cute!

Congratulations on the laptop – how awesome! Sorry your bunch has been sick. With big families it seems like you can just spread things around indefinitely!

[...] and I did not upload them. I stole them from Amanda, whose post you can read at The Daily Planet: Crazy Busy… Eating Newman-O’s. I did upload this picture [...]

Oh how I love those pictures! Especially the one where she looks like she REALLY likes the cookie!
And, the funny part about Caleb in that chair is that he was sitting in it awake, running around all over, up and down, and then the next thing I knew, he was out for the count, sitting up in the chair. Nice matching LarryBoy and Superman pj’s though, huh?
So, you got your laptop… funny, Dad didn’t order mine.. what is up with that? I imagine that Jocelyn has something to say about that, don’t you, Jocelyn?
Looking forward to more Expelled articles and the interviews of that and the new movie with Kirk Cameron!
Love you!
Oh, and thanks for the e-cards… so sweet, and I love the music and scripture… how can I get those into my little rose 7×7 album to keep?? Any ideas?

Hi Amanda!

How are you doing today?
I was wondering when I’m supposed to tell my SuperSecretAngel girl who I am? I am leaving on Monday for a 10 day trip, so if you could let me know soon, that would be great!
thanks!

LOL about Caleb! I love pictures of little kids sleeping… it is always so funny to see how they just pass out in the middle of whatever they’re doing. Life is good for those little guys!
As to LucyLillie and her beloved cookie, SHE is one smart and cute little cookie!
She doesn’t seem to be camera shy either. Which is a good thing– more pictures for us to see!
Love,
Marsha
