Where the time goes

Where does the time go?  I think all of my the time since Christmas has gone to relaxing and putting everything back together.  Although Christmas is fun and wonderful, it creates a lot of chaos that doesn't exist without it.

Plus, Annie moved upstairs to her own room from ours, so we have been working on that transition too :)

I heard something good today- "we all have the same amount of time; it just depends on how you choose to spend it."  That is something I really need to look at, because I  am always wondering where all my times goes.

At our small group this past week, we talked about looking at where you spend your time just like you look at where you spend your money.  By looking at where most of your times goes, (aside from sleeping,) you can see what is most important to you.  After a thorough analysis of this, for SURE June and Annie are the most important thing to me if you judge by time, but work is second.  And I wish it weren't so.  Thankfully, sweet Dan just helps as much as he can and is such a good husband and Daddy.  Time doesn't reward him enough.

Anyway, I will have to chalk this post up to ramblings, but something to think about.

On another note, my friends are obsessing about this free iphone app instagram.  I finally downloaded it and got a pretty cute picture that would have been totally blah had I not used the app.  Try it out.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Biase family pictures

We got to spend some time with some awesome photographers over Thanksgiving and took tons of family photos with Dan's family.  It was super fun and the kids did great! (I bribed them with candy ;)  Here are some of the best pics- thought you might want to see :)

Carpenter's

I wanted to share this recent newsletter from our church we attend.  It is definitely different than most churches and has taken quite a while to get used to and understand that we aren't there to "fix" these people, but to walk through life with them as equals, but we really enjoy it and have made some great friends through it.  Please read our friend Ted's story on the first page below and if you want to read more about our church, its philosophies and goals, please click here.

Popo and Pictures

If you pay attention to details, you may have noticed that Popo's name was removed from the title of our blog.  The sweet little frog came and left in a few weeks and has gone to take a dirt nap.  At least that is what we told June since we are not sure she understands dying/death and all sad things like that.  Not to fear though, Dan made her a picture of Popo's "napping" place and she re-named Vitamins - Popo.  Hmm, well I guess that means I should technically leave Popo's name in the blog title but I will think about that later.  For now, we are one less frog, but still have "The fish formerly known as Vitamins" going strong.

A few days ago, we tried to take some Christmas card pictures with all of our family members which didn't go so well.  Zeus absolutely refused to participate and the chickens, for some reason, would not eat the treats I gave them to stay in the picture.

Dan was super stressed by all the activity and I was ordering everyone around/picking animals up to make them stay in the pic - you can sense Vern's annoyance....

So, this one is ok, except for Meuf Te' itching to try and get to the chicken poop - yuck! and June not looking... but you will have to wait for the finished product in your mailbox!

Oh, the anticipation... ;)

Happy Two Months Annie and Happy Thanksgiving!

8 whole weeks have gone by- can you believe it?

 And June is just the same as ever - enjoying life and taking no notice of Annie...

As promised, here are the only pictures of Dan and I from the last two months- Dan being super dad and me wearing the same vest 5 days in a row because I never leave the house! ;)

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Vitamins and Popo

We have added to our ever-growing family.  Luckily, these two little guys require 0 love from me, of which I am very glad, because I am a little maxed out at the moment.  June named the fish her favorite thing in the whole world (besides Dora) - Vitamins.  And then she named the frog, the first thing she thought of- Popo- do we talk about the popo alot here? I am not sure.  I don't think so, but that word is stuck in her head....  

Hopefully the popo (aka-the police) leaves our neighborhood alone for awhile.  We have some loud college students down the street and someone (who could that be??!?!) keeps calling the cops on them for noise violations- oops! ;)

Meanwhile, Vitamins and Popo are enjoying their new home.

And this cool lady is enjoying her little sister!

AND, a friend of mine pointed out that their are no longer pictures of Dan and I on the blog! Agh! Se la vie' !  SOON :)
