Flashback Friday

I'm pretty sure I have posted this before but it's just too good not to share again.
Happy early Birthday Kyle!!
I love you!

Earthquake

This morning I was downstairs doing my bible study when all of a sudden I felt the couch shaking. I didn't know what to think at first but quickly I knew it was an earthquake and not sure how long it would last I started to head back upstairs to check on Kyle and the girls but then it stopped. I turned on the T.V. and checked the internet to see if there was any information about it. King 5 reports that it was a 4.6 and happened around 5:27 a.m. Also, I found this site. I knew we lived in an earthquake region but I didn't know we actually have little earthquakes all the time. Did anyone else feel it?

Things I don't want to forget #9-11

9. How excited Liliana gets when Kyle get home from work.

10. That Talia has started to use the words "indeed", "suppose" and "brilliant". She will add them into conversation whenever she can and it makes me smile every time because she has the context correct each time she uses them.

11. Talia calls me "Mama" more than she calls me "Mommy". It used to bother me a bit because "Mommy" sounded a bit more endearing to me than "Mama" but I know love that she calls me "Mama". She uses it a lot throughout the day and it warms my heart that it is her own special name for me.

Lil's new trick

Lil has been doing push ups for a while now but this afternoon her little push ups turned into her putting her chubby feet flat onto the floor and trying to push herself up. I couldn't believe she was trying to do this so I had to grab my camera and take a few shots.

Semi-Wordless Wednesday

I love this scrunched up Lil face...definetly one I don't want to forget. It looks a bit silly but it usually comes before she giggles and it makes me giggle every time.

A tea party set for two this week. Taking advantage of Lil's morning nap to spend some time with just Tal.

Something new to play with

Welcome Home!

Welcome Home Arns Family!!

We have missed you these last three months as you have done the Lord's work in China. We are so excited and thankful to be able to spend some time with each of you! We hope that this break will be restful, encouraging and peaceful too!

New Look

Tal picked out my new background. "Mommy it has pink and hearts...you should pick that one!"

Wordless Wednesday

How did that happen?

I just got done pulling a teeny tiny Barbie shoe out of Talia's nose. After some prayer and a little help from some tweezers it got unstuck just as I was on hold with the doctor's office. I thought that I only had to keep those shoes away from Lil. I guess we will be putting those away for a little while. When I became a Mom I never thought that "pulling out doll shoes from daughter's nose" would be something that I could put on my resume. I'm just glad it came out!

My girls

Just didn't want the picture of the dropped spagetthi to be the first thing you saw on my blog!

A real Wordless Wednesday

Whoopsy!! Guess we won't be having leftovers tomorrow.
