"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

i need to cut back on my sugar!!

Well, it's been pretty crazy, so I guess that's why it's been so long since I posted!  Oh well.  Anyway, this past weekend we were off duty.  Friday we dropped our kids off at my parent's house (thanks, mom and dad!) and Nathan and I got to spend a whole day and night together, just the 2 of us!  Yay!  It was great.  

Well, we started off our day together with a not-so-fun task--going to the dentist.  Oh well, it has to be done, I guess.  Well, this particular trip to the dentist was not the greatest for me.  It turns out I have a few cavities.  Care to guess how many?  Okay, I'll tell you.  NINE!!!  Yes, you read it right, I have 9 cavities.  I almost cried.  I felt bad for Dr. Stoller--I could tell he really felt bad to break the news!  Sigh.  I will definitely be a more diligent flosser from now on!! (the cavities are all between my teeth, so flossing may have been able to prevent this disaster).  Oh, and by the way, guess how many cavities my dear hubby had?  ZERO.  Sigh again.  We ended up having a really fun day together, in spite of the dentist visit!

So the next day we spent the day with Jill and Aaron.  Since they bought their house, there's room for us to stay with them!  We had a blast with them.  Thanks for letting us hang out with you, guys!  Here are some pics from our day with the McCormick's.


Kaine LOVES their kitties!  They have 2 kittens and Kaine braved the freezing cold wind to play with them.  

Halle and Jill watched Kaine and the kittens from inside the warm house.

Kaine just loved playing on Jill's electric piano thingy.  It was so cute, he would wear the headphones and play the piano.

I pulled Halle around in a box for awhile, and as you can see, she is nearly delirious with happiness!

Kaine and Halle in the box--what cuties:)


  So the weekend turned out to be fun.  Thanks, Aaron and Jill!

Tag...I'm "it"

Well, folks, it's been a long time since I've even checked any blogs.  So this morning I was catching up on them, and I see on Sarah's blog that she "tagged" me!  Blah.  Just kidding, it's kind of a fun thing.  So I'm supposed to list 7 weird/random things about myself.  And Janel, I'm like you--I don't know anyone else to tag, other than the ones that Sarah and Jenna tagged!  So I am not being completely cooperative with the game...but here are 7 exciting facts about me.

1.   I love getting new notebooks to write in!  They make such cute covers for them these days!  And I love all that blank paper to write on--although it is an extremely rare thing for me to fill a notebook up.

2. A small part of me wants to be pregnant again...just to think of baby names!  Halle is just 7 months old, so call me crazy.

3. I don't have a favorite color.  :(   I know, I'm boring.

4. I LOVE to go frisbee golfing!!  

5. I have a major sweet tooth--oreos, nilla wafers, ice cream, heath bars...pretty much any kind of dessert.  I love it all WAY too much!!

6.  When Nathan and I got back from our honeymoon, my mom had to come over to our apartment to show me how to do laundry!!  That's pretty bad.

7. I have receding gums...yikes!!

So there you have it...7 amazing facts about me!!  And like I said, sorry I can't continue the game.  I have a limited number of bloggy friends:)

Soap

I walked into the kitchen yesterday, and Kaine had found a new bottle of handsoap.  For some reason, he decided to rub it into his hair!  It was so funny, so of course the first thing I thought was to get my camera!  Sigh...at least his hair smelled good!  (by the way, sorry about the title--I couldn't think of anything clever!)
