Suzie's Birthday
It's funny what impresses your kids! Naomi wanted to throw a birthday party for Suzie (her doll) so I suggested she make her a play dough cake. When I said that they could really light the candles, you would have thought I had said they could go to Disney World!
They were SO excited to light and blow out the candles. And once was enough. I think it made their day. : )
Visit with Ella, Anna and Chloe
Chloe and Bethany enjoyed getting to know each other. They were pretty funny playing this stacker game because one would put a block in a different place and then they would giggle at each other. They have their own brand of baby humor!
And I don't think Jacob minds being the only boy at all!

Update on Naomi
Naomi has been doing very well in school lately. She is slowly conquering each math concept (not without struggle at times) and she is gobbling up books by the stack-full.
Every week she has a verse that she copies once a day for her handwriting. Last week her spelling words were different fruits, so we used the fruits of the Spirit as her verse. At the end of the week she prints out the verse nicely and we frame it somehow.
Naomi loves to play momma with all her dolls. Here she is with some of her favorites: Lily, Hannah, and Jack. Suzie is also always around, she just didn't make this pic!
Last night I was away teaching a class and Naomi wrote me some sweet notes that were waiting for me when I got home. (I miss you very much. You make my heart fill with joy. With Love, Naomi)
Yesterday we struggled mightily through number families. Today, Naomi conquered them! She was so proud that she wrote her journal about it! (Today is February 2nd, 2010. I like number families. Because yesterday I was disobedient because I got them wrong. I got a spanking. Today I got every problem right.) Just so you know: I didn't spank Naomi for getting the number family problems wrong! But she did get an bad attitude spanking. : )

Snow and Ice
It started snowing Friday around lunchtime. This is the scene Friday evening! Everything covered and still coming down! Nate measured about 3 inches on our back walk.
Saturday morning we awoke to a world covered with ice. And no power. There were trees down EVERYWHERE including several huge branches from the magnolia at the corner of the house. Oh, and the power went off around 6am for an early wake-up call for the Osters. No one around here sleeps really well without power because we all love our noise-making fans!
Sunday the sun came out and the sky was a perfect blue. (Oh, and the power came back on Sat. night, praises to the Lord!)
We are so thankful for modern conveniences and the beauty of the place where we live!
