Staying Busy...
Our weeks seem so full these days and fly by in a hurry! The Lord is teaching us many things and we marvel at His faithfulness in each lesson He brings in our path.
Last week brought Emma and baby Sebastien Valine to our house for an overnight visit while Micah was away on business. We enjoyed getting to know them better, knitting, watching a "girlie" movie, cooking, talking, & observing the kiddos as they played with the animals outside. We took some cute pictures but unfortunately they were accidentally deleted before being loaded onto the computer :( It was a lovely visit and we look forward to the "next time"!
This week was also filled with political activities :) I spent a little time at the office of Nathan Macias (who is running for State Rep.) and the eldest five of us went to a fund raising dinner Friday and block walked most the day on Saturday! If you've never worked for a campaign, you really should roll your sleeves up and try it sometime. Of course, part of the battle is finding worthy candidates to support! Block walking gives you the experience of all sorts of communication skills...some pleasant and others not so much :) All in all, it's great memories with friends and done for a wonderful cause. By the way, don't forget to pray as the Presidential race continues too! We pray that God will have mercy on our country and give us a godly leader. So far, our vote remains the same (Huckabee) as we continue to research the differences between the candidates.
The little ones in our house are still fighting illness. Just as we thought they were on the mend, the "bug" seems to have hit them once again! I took some sweet photos of Kaylianna, Christian and Justin but those were deleted off the camera as well...bummer!
Family pics are scheduled for tomorrow! It will be the first ones with our newest additions...Justin and Rebecca! Pray for us :) What a huge task it is to get 15 people all looking at a camera, let alone with smiles on every face.
That's it for now...more soon!

P.S. I know it's a little late, but great job on the poem a few posts back... I was thinking Longfellow wrote it! :-)
