Thursday, just like Tuesday
Friday is or "free day" on fumes, with much delirium and singing about no school tommorrow and what we are going to do tonight. I can't even believe this my life. It is just flashing by like a roller coaster!
Bailey is such a delight, she is so smart and pretty. She is so loving, creative and ready to please. Blake is so handsome, funny, task oriented and is all about the rules. We are all in love with Michael, who has captured our hearts with his warm smile and with those animated dancing eyes. We are never short on entertainment. We love it when we get to hang out with all five of our kids on the weekends.
We have a great time when Amber and Kristina bless us with their presence. Bryan and I love to help them with their homework and just hang out with them. It is fun to harrass them as only adults can. They are such a joy to be around. They all crack us up. Sometimes they even bring friends. We are enjoying our big family. I could never have imagined this in my wildest dreams. God had blessed us exceedingly!
Someone asked me to join them for "Boot Camp" at 5:30 am. I about fell over, are you kidding! I am in Boot Camp. . .

Is that all?! I love your kids. Bailey is by far the best in the carpool (don't tell my boys that I said that!). Did I tell you that I had a long conversation with the woman whose house you want to buy when we were both at the haircutting place. Remind me to tell you about it.
Very busy life! I need some caffeine now. Do you?
