My kids

Today, I made my kids all sit together for a picture -- finally, a decent
one of all three of them together. I just love them!

Elsi @ night made better by my sweet husband

Elsi has been waking up numerous times a night now for almost a week! Last night, Greg tried to help me by getting up with her and she just cried and cried until he brought her to me and I fed her. I feel like she's a newborn again or something. I hope she's just teething and it will all go away, but I still can't see or feel any teeth coming in. Greg got up with the boys this morning too, so I could sleep a little more. After he brought me Elsi after she woke up he sent Luke in with my breakfast -- breakfast in bed -- that's like Mother's Day good in my book. I hope she sleeps tonight, but I'm betting we're in for another tough one. Just part of it, I guess. She was SOOOO perfect before all this started so I guess it's fair -- "when she was good she was very, very good; and when she was bad she was horrid."

Our missionary relatives

I'm so proud of my bro. Peter and Janet for working so hard and being so faithful at raising support to go to the mission field! It's been really neat to see the ways God has provided for them, making it so clear that he has called them to this work. But, I can hardly think about it without tearing up -- they're leaving in the middle of November for training in CO, and may or may not be back in Chattanooga before they leave at the end of December. I want them to go, but I don't want them to leave! =(

Chik-fil-a Family Night

We went to Chik-fil-a in Fort Oglethorpe tonight for dinner for family
night, which is every Tuesday and kids' meals are free. They had a clown who
painted faces and gave out balloons. As you can see, Luke chose Batman and
Ben chose NOT to get too close to the clown. =)
