Oh, it's been a while. So I'm trying to remember all the things I need to update on. First, Hurricane competed in the local homeschooling spelling bee a couple weeks ago! She got 2nd in her division and 6th overall. She would've gone further easily but her nerves got the best of her and she made a silly mistake. It seems like that happened to several kids there. I was a nervous wreck watching them! So I can imagine how nervous they were. I was so busy running everything I didn't get a picture of her with her medal the day of. But I got one later, at home. A day a few weeks ago it had been raining and cold for a few days and then it warmed up really fast. So we went outside and played in puddles and a little creek that was over flowing near our house. I got several pictures of that and we had fun. The seminary class schedule starts this week. So Robert has classes Tuesday through Thursday and studying and school work all the rest of the time. I am starting a new SWI (seminary wives institute) class on Thursday night, Lessons in Prayer. I'm also attending a church bible study on prayer on Tuesday nights, but that will be over in three weeks. And every other Tuesday I meet with another mom to encourage her and talk about motherhood and the bible. She is in the picture with me and our babies below. Robert and I have been practicing much more discipline in our diet in the last four weeks. We don't have any carbs or sugar except on Friday night when we have a bit of a treat, but not always, only if we feel like it. The first week was awful but now we are both lacking much of a craving for junk food, thankfully. Still, I'm only losing a pound every two weeks! Very frustrating, but I suppose in 30 weeks I will be thankful for the sacrifice. We are also working out a few times a week. It's just really slow going and especially when I am feeling down, I want to eat whatever I want! Robert hasn't lost anything, but he is weight lifting so it might be slower for him. He is considering doing something stricter like the Atkins. Tender meets with an older woman at our church every Thursday night to study Hebrews. I am good friends with her. Tender has really enjoyed that and looks forward to it. The Boy has been taking apart things a lot and creating new things. Like, his broken helicopter motor was removed and put into a homemade aluminum boat and used in the bathtub as a RC boat. It was pretty cool. Whenever we have something that breaks, he gets it to take apart before we trash it. He has quite a collection of all sorts of parts now. For what, I know not. Hulk is talking more. The other day he said, "I come with you?" when I was leaving. He is really hard to understand. He sounds a lot like The Boy did at that age. So I imagine we might be doing speech therapy with him someday. Bug is growing! He has gained about 3 pounds in the last month or so. He is fifteen months old now. He still isn't walking yet, although he occasionally will take a small step here or there. He has been fighting a cold a lot this winter. He doesn't say much besides "dance dance dance" while he dances his little heart out! He loves music! I think he also says "dada" because he really loves his daddy! He typically will gladly go to Robert even from my arms! Which is new and makes for a proud daddy.

So glad to hear from you. I miss you all so much already. I have been sick since Christmas. Finally went to the doctor today and got some meds. I lost 5 lbs in the past 2weeks. Larry didn't walk until he was 16 months so I guess it runs in the family. I am so glad that you are all so involved knowing the Lord. I am so proud of you all. Love you so much. Kiss the kids for me and give them my love.
