I feel like my load is small potatoes though when I got the chance to have my weekly chat with a sweet friend from church who just had #7 AND home schools (four different grades right now!). That always puts things into proper perspective for me.
In all reality, things are chugging right along here. Somehow my oldest two wound up this year in ballet/tumbling, cheerleading, choir, Wednesday night Bible study (JAM), AND Daisys. I'm not sure exactly how this happened as our original rule was one activity (not including Wednesday night church activities). Oh well. I'm looking forward to the break over the holidays!
So much is going on...
programs...
parties...
firsts...
still battling this...
(God love her. It's all her mother's fault. I know what I need to do but I can't do it. I asked my mom if she would mind just letting her cry this Friday when she spends the night. She replied, "Absolutely not. I'm not doing your dirty work for you." Sigh. I can't do it either. Just look at that face! Tell me you wouldn't run to her aid, snuggle her up, and maybe even nurse her if she whimpered in the night!)
We are READY for Christmas in every way. Big girl tells me something new it seems every time I ask what she wants for Christmas. Maybe I should stop asking:) JD gets his wisdom teeth out on the 23rd. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to use up your insurance for the year. This is the life we lead folks:)
This post is everywhere but so is my mind:)
***p.s. We are so grateful for the family and friends who have asked us to let them watch our children for small increments of time. What a blessing!***

They all look so cute!!
Your girls are adorable. I loved my Christmas card. I sent you one too. I hope you receive it. It is the only address I have for you. I understand about the crying/sleeping issue. Our baby girl is 4 now. She still sleeps with us. My thoughts are she will never be little again. I am going to enjoy every moment. With working each day and having to leave her at daycare, I choose my battles. She loves to sleep with us, and we love her sleeping with us so we have not made any changes. She does have a big girl bed now so she may want to sleep in it before too long. But you do what you have to do. Don't stress over the sleeping arrangement. Do what is best for you, your hubby, and baby. I just think about how one day Ginna Bess will be too cool to want to be with her parents so I am soaking up every moment now. Do what is best for your family. Pray about it, and God will show you what to do. If it is important to you, it is important to him.
Take care and lots of love,
Ashley
