Yes, I am still planning on posting my journal on here. I'm not procrastinating. I just need to get my journal off the laptop I took to Ethiopia but it doesn't have a burner so I have to use an external hard drive. Ok, the truth is, I just have to do it. So much to do, so little time. So in the meantime, I thought I'd post some pictures . . .











The kids are enjoying their new little brother and as you can see above, they already welcomed him into their reading club. Even Samara is doing well in her role as a big sister. Overall she's pretty good with him although there are some things you can hear around here more often: "Samara, be gentle", "Samara, his arm doesn't bend that way", "No Samara, he can't have your chicken", etc. Don't worry, we won't let her babysit anytime soon!
P.S. To all you expert bloggers . . . does anyone know how to transfer text from a word document to my blog? Cut and paste doesn't seem to work. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks.

I love the pictures of each of the kiddies with Denver. He looks so chubby and healthy, and the kiddies seem just thrilled to be able to hold him and be with him. I am so happy for you.
I can't wait to read from your journal, although I can't help you with the text transfer. :-(

Adorable pictures!! I know that cut and paste doesn't generally work, but copy and paste should. Let me know if you want me to take a look at it from the inside. You can send me your word doc. and I can try to figure it out.

What a beautiful family!! The reading club looks like tons of fun! Are they accepting new entrants who might doze off during reading and snore just a bit? :o)

Happy, happy family! It's wonderful to hear and see how well you're all doing!

Beautiful photos! I love the reading one! You make it all look so easy with four little ones sitting there quietly reading.... :)

I just took a peek and if you have Word 2007, you can publish documents to your blog directly! Open your word document, go to the "office button" (which is that colourful big circle at the top left corner). Then just select "Publish" then "Blog" and it will instruct you how to do it...voila! If you have another version I have no idea how to make it work:)

Oh goodness...he is GORGEOUS! Those amazingly big eyes and dimples! So glad to hear everyone is "settling" in and getting used to each other!

Take care,
Tammy

What great pics! Everyone looks so content and happy. A family of readers - who could beat that! Is there room for me? So glad that Denver's physically joined the family and has safely arrived home (even though it was earlier than ever anticipated). Through it all God was good! Welcome home Denver!
