Enjoying the quiet...

Todd and the kids have been asleep for a while now...I had to run to the grocery to grab some milk and a few other things-when I returned home EVERYONE was out! Woo Hoo! It has been so peaceful! Poor Todd...I know he was exhausted, after getting up before 3 a.m to get to work! It was nice that he was home by lunch time, though. This schedule is going to take a little bit to get used to-it's a swing-he'll have different days off, sometimes working the weekends. I don't look forward to that part-getting all six kids ready for church alone, but I know it can be done. We'll manage.

The kids have been driving me crazy about going swimming at my parents....we took the cover off the other day, the water was green-my dad had to shock it (a few times)-we were waiting to see how the water was going to turn out. I'm happy to announce we checked on it after church tonight, and it was crystal clear...only a small patch of junk on the bottom. Let the swimming begin...of course they're going to freeze their tails off...they always do at the beginning, but they're gonna get in, freezing or not! I can see them on the deck now, teeth chattering, purple lips, their whole bodies trembling, as they argue the water feels great! So funny...I know I'd probably do the same thing if I were their age. From here on out, that's what it's going to be every day, "Can we go swimming?" first thing in the morning. Oh well, at least it's something for them to do!

Miss Savannah has been flipping over like crazy here the last few days. The other morning I passed the girls' room and peeked in at her, she was fast asleep on her stomach. She looked so precious-it was the first time she'd turned over and slept. Every time I put her in the bed now, she thinks she's supposed to turn over. She's getting so big. I know, I need to post some more pics of her...it's always some kind of technical difficulty! :-) She will be 5 mths here in a week or so...where has the time gone? There are a couple of other birthdays coming up around here...Stuart's is Sunday and Spencer's will be the next Sunday. Everybody's growing up....

I guess I better head to bed. The kids will be up bright and early.....ready to swim! ha ha :-)
