Little Laughables...

Emmi was looking for her brown cupcake dress and she could not find it. She said; "Guys! I can't find my dress! This is very 'concerting'!"

Later Abbi was being silly and Emmi said; "That is very "instructions"!"

Abbi's birthday food wish list was: "Waffles, bacon, eggs, donuts for a snack, pizza, cake, ice cream, popcorn, and M&Ms. Oh! And I can't forget syrup for my waffles!" Wow... 

Bethi was wondering why we worked on a Sunday, and Bri was explaining it to her; "...like, even though the bible says not to eat pig, that was for people before Jesus came. So even though it's healthy to follow the Mosaic law, it's not mandatory anymore." Bethi got this blank look, and said; "Um... I wasn't talking about the pig. I said nothing about the pig!"

Bethi, while reading her bible a while back... 

"Moses wrote Exodus?! I thought he died in the middle Exodus!"

Bri and I answered, "Yes, he wrote Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy."
"O...kay? (Trademark of Bethi, :). She has her own unique way of saying 'okay', "Ooo...kay?" :).) I thought he died."
"Not in Exodus, but he does in Deuteronomy."
Blank look.
"Someone finished it for him, probably Joshua."
Bri says: "I should have told her that Joshua dead before his book, duly named Joshua, was finished, also..." Haha! (Oh, and the other day she was wondering "How in the world did Moses know how God made the world, 'cause, like, he wasn't even born when He made it!", :).)

 
The other night, Abbi asked Emmi what Emmi's name was. Emmi said; "Emmi.", really quietly. Mommy said "Say it loud. Say 'Emmi' really loud." Emmi said "Emmi, really lou- I-I mean Emmi!"


Lol! I hope you enjoyed!

Happy Fifth Birthday, Abbi!

Happy Birthday, 'Buddy'! I love you so much, and I have enjoyed watching you grow! I look forward to seeing you grow into a young woman for Christ! I pray this next year will be very blessed, beautiful, bouncy, Abbi-girl!

Happy Birthday!

Hello from VIRGINA!!!

  We're in Virgina for good! The house is so pretty! So is the yard, and, my, you should have seen the look on Emmi face when she saw the swing set out there! Abbi thinks that having "two stairs is so great!" (We have a downstairs, upstairs, and an attic room). Andrew is excited that he and Peter will get their own room "really soon'', and that the room they will be in is green, :). I think that Bethi is most excited about outside, :). Before we moved she was scared about not having woods, :). I like the kitchen, but I'm most excited that we have moved, ;). I think that that is Bri's favorite thing, too. Peter likes the fireplace, :). It's just the right size for him to sit on, :). We didn't have one in the old house, so it's new to him to have one. Our house in SC has not sold yet, though, so please continue to pray!
Bye!

Yeah!

Daddy's home! It has been such a blessing that he has been able to come home so often (well, comparatively)!
Please pray that our house sells quickly, and that we find a house in Virgina! Thank you!
In Abbi's words, when she learned that Daddy works at a bookstore, "Oh, I just wish that Daddy could sell all his books, so that he could come stay with us always!".
Emmi says that "When we get to Virgina,  we will lock the doors, so that he won't ever go to work again!"


One last thing- when I wrote the title, I accidentally pressed Enter, and it posted! Oops... ;)! So, if you get this on Google, just the title will show up, haha!

Happy Birthday, Emmi!

Happy Birthday to our sweet little 3~year~old! You are such a blessing in our life, and I can't wait to see how you grow and draw close to the LORD! 
Happy Birthday, Emmi!
