Ok,
It is Monday and I have three days off! Of course I spend 2 of them doing Dr appt's and things like that. So I never REALLY have a day off. Hunter is at school and the other three are asleep. It sure is quiet around here. I should be taking a nap now but instead I am doing my 300 loads of laundry and paying bills online. LOL, I am not sure how many of you have done laundry for six people but it is never ending. As soon as I get all of it washed, folded, and put up, everyone's hamper is full again. And I am not one of those people who can live out of a laundry basket, I insist things be put where they go. You have to have order when you have this many kids, and we all function well that way. I need to finish Christmas shopping online, but first I am going to add a few new pics!

I love this crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful, beautiful, life..
As most of you know, we have 4 beautiful children. All children are amazing miracles from God, but three of ours in particular are more than a miracle! Hunter, who is 8 years old, was not even supposed to have made it into the world. He spent nearly the first year of his life at Texas Children's Hospital with multiple complications and surgeries but to look at his beautiful face now, you would never know.
Then there are the twins. How God can create TWO living beings in the same belly at the same time I will never know! They were born at 32 weeks, which is 2 months premature. They spent 1 month in the NICU and haven't skipped a beat since. When I lay down each night and say my prayers I thank God for these three boys who fought for their place to be in this world!!!
And last, but not least, we added our sweet baby princess, Kate ELizabeth Newell, to the mix on August 4 of this year. This day is so special because it was my little brother's 21th birthday, and this was also the day Nick asked me to marry him 5 years ago. She is the baby and the girl, so you can only imagine what lies ahead. She looks like her mommy but has her Daddy's BEAUTIFUL eyes!
God continues to bless this family day in and day out and we want to share it with all of you!!
