I just got done watching Oprah on DVR. She did a story today about miracle children. They told the story of one very special baby and his parents. You have to check out their story on youtube...

What an amazing couple - they are a true inspiration.
Mark is away this weekend, so we took advantage of our time alone. Mark doesn't like High School Musical, so he didn't want to go see HSM3 this weekend. Well, we did! While Mark is away playing at Camp Deer Run with the youth from church, we went and saw THE MOVIE. It was really good - cheesy, but good. It is about as cheesy as Grease, but a little more wholesome! My kids loved it, and we had a great time together. So, for that, I love High School Musical movies! It was funny because there were a lot of teenagers there acting like they didn't want anyone to see them there. They were joking with each other in the bathroom acting like they only came to the movie to make fun of it. Yeah right. I don't believe that for a second. They were there for the same reason we all were - they couldn't wait to see the latest installment of the movie :) Good times were had by all...
The puppies are getting so much bigger already. Here are our latest pictures with them - Cookie is actually letting us hold them now, so the kids are thrilled.
The little runt - he is my favorite!
You can see their brown in starting to come out a bit! I love how they all huddle together to stay warm. So sweet!
Have a great weekend, and go see HSM3!
It doesn't take long for anyone in our family to get pregnant! Cookie had 6 little puppies last night - 5 that are still living. So, we have gone from a 2 dog family to a 7 dog family. God's plan for birth/mothers is an amazing thing - even when seeing it in dogs. It was awesome to watch Cookie have her babies and take care of them for several hours without even taking a break to rest. She is such a good mommy already. I just love watching her with the pups - it is one of the sweetest things I have seen in a long time. She was finally getting some rest this morning, and her babies are getting some rest too. Cookie is a Shitzu, Lighting a Corgi, so the dogs are "Shorgis". We are going to enjoy them while we have them. Hopefully the kids won't get too attached.
What a sweet little face, huh?
My kids thought it was cool that they still had their little umbilical cords - Haleigh was wondering if they turned into belly buttons!
I have mentioned before that I always struggle to get a good picture inside during any athletic event. I am still trying, but this is what turned out...
This is Morgan right before the game as her team is warming up.
Here she is (farthest green one away) - the ball is coming right toward her.
And she hit it off to the side - out of bounds, oh well.
Here she is serving.
Serving again.
We are actually on a two week winning streak! Both of those games were without Mark there as the coach! He won't be there this next Saturday either, so if they win again we are going to have to fire him!
I know it has been a while since I posted anything. I guess we just haven't really had a whole lot going on. We have all made it through our first six weeks of school. I felt really good about my first six weeks as a teacher. I don't think that I messed up too bad, and I don't think that I messed up any of my students yet! The girls did great - A honor roll for both of them. Jacob has done great at the Learning Ladder. He has a real routine going now, but he still says that Saturday is his favorite day of all since he gets to stay home (me too)! Morgan has been playing volleyball for three weeks now. She missed today because she was camping with a friend. I have only a few pictures to post...
