son, you are having too much wheat...

i actually heard a mother say that to her child last night at tatiana's school picnic. i swear the kid only had 5-6 whole grain crackers on his plate. it has promted me to think what the medical ill-effects of too much wheat are??? i'll let you know when i research further. i was a complete rebel at the event by brining a diet dr. pepper! this place is WEIRD!

celebrating

my kids maturing! harrison and tatiana have both just blossomed these last couple of months. both have done great in school this year and really learned a lot but more importantly their little characters are shaping into something actually pleasant! aleksandra is still fiesty as ever but our lover girl and brennan is our comedian. he loves to make all of us laugh and even cracks him self up.

argh!

our chubby (ok-fat!) little baby boy just turned 6! he is so tall and lanky you all better take back those jaguars linebacker comments from his youth! pirate birthday party..meet jack sparrow jr.

rockettes here we come...

our tatiana had her dance recital last week. they did a tap number to new york, new york. it was precious. she got her standing ovation and her bouquet at the end of the performace. broadway or radio city music hall can't compare to our day--it was so cute.

lord, send me

i have said we are taking the approach of our distant father, abraham, and just accepting wherever God would have us go. i didn't know he would challenge me this much though. i thought the gray mini-van with 4 car seats had humbled me.....please pray for me that i would maintain open hearts to serve wherever god can use us and for michael as he tries to discern what is best for our family. this is a hard and exciting time.

summer fun

we are off to pvb in June and my sister will join us for a family vacation and then to cali in july for our 10 year anniversary trip. i love summertime!
