Busy Busy Busy

Well life here has been very busy. We have been candy selling every day for the past two weeks. Natalie is doing great. She gets lots of compliments on her outgoing attitude and of course her cuteness. Rachel and Hailey have struggled with a stomach bug of some kind this week. Hailey has bounced back quickly, but Rachel has been slow to mend. I got a few more liquids in her tonight so I'm feeling a little better about things. They spent the day relaxing at Grandma's while we went out. I thought I would just post a couple pics of a rare moment of down time during these weeks. We are almost done and my family is coming next week. I can't wait to see them all. It has been such a long time. I'm so glad that God has chosen to use people in my family to serve Him, but there are sacrifices for all of us. In the end it will be worth it all though so I can't complain. I hope all is well for everyone. I'll let you know what the final on the candy sale is. We are continuing to work hard. Bye for now.
Haily snuggling with Daddy. It didn't take her long to fall asleep.

Family pics

The whole gang. I can't believe we managed to all look pleasant at one time

Natalie is the poser of the group. Once she knows a camera is near she strikes a pose
Rachel was in constant motion, but Cara did incredible getting some good pics of her too.
Hailey had a slightly longer attention span than last year. 60 seconds makes a big difference.

I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do. Cara did such an incredible job and the girls love her. They were only slightly disappointed to find out that she didn't bring the ice cream truck with her and she can't magically make it appear either. She made up for it by buying ice cream at the mall. What a blessing to be able to spend time with her. We missed not seeing Craig, but with all these busy lives it is hard to get everyone at once. Have a great day.
