Lillian grace Ackley

Lillian was born January 4 2016 at 3:38 in the afternoon. She weighed 9lbs 10oz!!! She was 21 in long. Thankfully when I arrived at the hospital I had her only 2 hrs later. 

We are all learning to adjust having a new little one. 

Some new pics

Aren't they just the cutest??!!!!??

Crazy to think in 10 weeks or so there will a new little one to take a million pics of. Lillian Grace Ackley will be here before we know it!! 

Can anybody tell me how I can make this blog look better. I cant figure out how to put who I am following on the page. Every time I try to download a new blog from another site I cant get it to load. GRRRR this blog looks so boring and I cant make it better..... HELP

Mommy of 4????

Soooooooooooooo I found out back in April that we are expecting our 4th kiddo. Im currently 14 weeks along and finally starting to feel somewhat normal. The 1st 3 months were the most difficult I have experienced with all my pregnancies so far. Maybe because I have 3 other little ones that want attention whether or not Im puking every 10 minutes. :) This pregnancy is hard on me physically because Im not sure my body was ready, but also mentally I have a ton going on with the other 3 so having another kid is a little overwhelming. Through all the struggles we are thankful God has chosen to make us parents once again.

I really haven't done anything or gone anywhere in the last 3 months. I've barely been making it to church. Now that Im feeling better I am looking forward to starting new things with the kids and finishing up our alphabet.

Spring!!!!!

Hey there people who read my blog! Sorry I stopped posting every week, but things have been crazy round here! :)

1st off we had a huge answer to prayer .... Naomi is all clear by the doctors and she has one great kidney that is working just fine. A huge relief! 

2ndly Todd and I are now teaching the teens at church. We both are enjoying it and we had our first activity the other day at a trampoline park. I wanted to start with something big because I wanted them to understand that we are real people and thoroughly enjoy some of the same things they do. Todd impressed them with a double front flip! Haha but yea he pulled a muscle! I only laughed a little cuz he forgets he is not a teenager... He turns 30 next month!! 

Hard to get good pics when they are moving :)

Pray for us as we plan our next activity that we will put the time and effort into it because these guys are worth it.

3rdly what we have been up to at home..

Dirt!!!! Kids think it's a mountain just for them, but truth be told it's for under the pool and filling in holes. 

Been hauling the dirt around back trying to get the ground level so we can set up the pool. I'm sooooooo excited!!!!

Finally got my little garden all planted so we shall see if we get anything. God is the one who makes it grow so pray for it:)

Christiana helped me plant some flowers so I do hope they grow cuz she will be super excited to see it. 

As for preschool..... Well haven't been as faithful. But we did do the letter k and a little on L. By next week I hope to have accomplished L and M. Il keep ya posted!

 

Letter f and g

Been doing more worksheets than crafts. The kids are learning and that is what counts. We are still enjoying doing this together! Todd even joined in in the g craft.

The guitar was not worth making! They were hard and the kids couldn't help much. But the letter was learned. 

We got snow!!!!!! Kids were so happy

Kids need more veggies in their diet....so I am making fruit/veggie smoothies for them n they love them. 

Wednesday we went to the zoo with my dad! 70 degrees!!!! Of course the next day it was in the 20's again. 

Well that's what we have been up to :) 

Letter Ee

Not so great a picture. They didn't want me to take it :)

So again we had sick kids this week. Christiana is now sick... Well after this week we should be in the clearing. :D so not much crafting went on. But that's ok cuz I believe we learned the letter. I'm doing more this week because we are snowed in. Or should I say iced in. We had snow then Lots of sleet. More coming to tonight I believe. 

But we did shape sorting with envelopes. The kids were not very impressed... Bummer. But with them being on antibiotic the world is a different place called crankyville!!!! Have a great week!!!!
