Oh What A Night

Last Saturday we had Brenna and Kayla over to spend the night. It was so much fun! Phil and I had the kids all dancing around. Phil dug out his old cd collection from highschool and we even taught the kids the Macarena :) We tried putting them all in Austin and Ariel's room with Brenna and Kayla on the floor, but that was trouble :) They kept giggling and laughing so much we knew they would never get to sleep. So unfortunately for all involved we had to sepertate them. Brenna and Kayla went over into Eva's room and we put Eva in our room in her pack-n-play.
Well, in the middle of the night it got worse. Ariel threw up all of her dinner and was really sick. Poor thing! Phil and I were cleanning up and doing laundry and loving on her until the early morning. By the time we were done I started to have sharp pains in my stomach too :( And Valentine's morning I joined our sick girl in throwing up. What a very unromantic Valentine's Day we had this year. I stayed in bed all day while Phil took care of the house and kids. He was so great.
Thankfully neither Austin, Phil or Eva got sick!

Super Bowl Fun

Even though the Colt's lost, we had a great time with our friends! Those in attendence included: The Anserts,The Vesters, The Grannises (our lovely hosts), Shaun's friends Amanda (and her family) and Shahid and us.
We got all decked out in our Colt's apparrel and ate lots of great food. Maybe next year the Steeler and Colts will give us better results :)

Another Thought About the Frog

Just as I was willing to reach down into the toilet full of pee to fish out my son's precious frog, God is willing to reach down and pull us out of the crap that we are in
Just as the frog was special and worth saving to Austin, we are special and worth saving to God.
What makes us so special? It's nothing that we have done, but what Christ has done for us. He is in us. That's what makes us special!
