Spring Break 2008

Well, we are officially winding down from Spring Break 2008. Not that it was a packed week. We enjoyed a nice relaxing week at home. No daycare or school for us! Oki did go to daycare on Monday for about three hours so that the boys and I could clean a little. Anyone who knows Oki will understand that you can get very little done when she's around. Yep, she's all girl and very high maintenance. Wayne has remarked often that he feels sorry for whoever marries her because he'll have a hard time. :) It's hard not to be spoiled when you are the youngest of three and the only girl...

Overall, I think we had a great week. I had fun sewing, cooking and being at home with the children. Although, to look at my house right now, you would never know that I was home all week!!! Just ask Wayne...

Eli had spend the night company for the first time this week. His friend, Cutter came to spend the night. The boys had a great time playing video games and playing outside. Eli and Cutter were very nice to allow Max to play along with them. Eli also played two ballgames this week. We were so disappointed to lose both of those games. There goes their undefeated record...hopefully, the boys have gained a little character through their disappointment. I had to be careful when cheering on Tuesday night because Eli's team played Cutter's team. Another of his good friends, Ethan, was also on that team. It's very difficult when you are rooting for your own son's team, but want to yell for their friends also. Maybe I'll get it all figured out soon!



Eli, Cutter and Max...Max is always clowning around!!!

I better go and be busy. I have a few more things to do before bed...

If you are looking for something to do this week, we are having revival services at church this week. We are really praying for and expecting God to do wonderful things in the hearts of His people. You can find the details at our website...

I hope you have a blessed week!!!

Happy Birthday, Oki!

I can hardly believe it...Our Okianna Grace turned two on June 16 th . We celebrated her birthday at a family gathering on Father's Day. She had a blast and so did we! If you're wondering about her finger...she swiped some icing before we sang Happy Birthday. This is a picture from her actual "birthday", June 16 th . If anyone had asked me a little over two years ago, I would never have guessed that were about to have a little princess in our lives. My dad was the only one that "knew". When our doctor said, "It's a girl!" Wayne and I really couldn't believe our ears! We were that convinced that we were having a boy; even though , looking back now I see that her pregnancy was completely different from the boys'. She's definitely been a blessing, albeit a quickly moving, demanding, and whiny one, but none the less a precious, angel girl blessing...

We're Still Here: An Update from the Russell Family

I know I'm way past due for an update! There is no excuse, just plain procrastination on my part! Don't get me wrong, I've been busy, too! Anyway, we've not had any real excitement around here since Christmas, but I did want to share a few pictures of my precious ones... Kayla recently brought Oki some tap shoes. She has enjoyed tapping away. I guess we are going to let her take from Mrs. Sellers next year. For months, Eli and Max have been building wooden cars during RAs at church on Wednesday nights. A few weeks ago they got their chance to see how fast their cars were at Ino's Pinewood Derby. Sadly, Max's car didn't win in his division, but we're so happy that Eli's got second place in his division. Since Eli's car will race again, his wasn't available for pictures... These pictures were taken one afternoon recently while the children and Kayla were outside riding the golf cart. When you have older children like our boys, Eli and Max,...

We need your help! Wayne and I are thinking about the possibility of purchasing a digital SLR camera. I know a few of my blogging friends have one, so here's a chance to give us some advice on what to buy. Don't worry, we do plan to do our own research...but, we would like to hear from you. Thanks in advance for your input...
