Taken with my phone, so these aren't the best, but so you can see how Abigail's growing...

I LOVE having a baby! Sometimes I feel she is my only link to sanity. She loves me and smiles up at me like I'm her world while all the others complain about school work, or piano practice, or no ice cream for breakfast. But they are sweeties too. Here is Corban creatively making a birthday cake out of his sandwich and carrots that he didn't feel like eating, and singing "Happy Birthday". Unbeknownst to us at that moment, Abigail was to be born later that day. Maybe Corban knew something we didn't.And here is a one of my favorite things to watch, Chandler being a wonderful big bro. I just feel so blessed to be a mother, even as I walk around drenched in spit-up, and wondering how long it will be before I can have a cookie that won't upset my girl.

Thanks for the confed $, G & G. The kids were really excited about the quarters they got in the mail today too. Corban was so excited to get his birthday card and walked around with it unopened for a long time before the kids convinced him to open it. He was very excited about the $ too. And a big thanks to Jenny for her recomendation on a "butter" I can eat. As for the chickens, Holly, the reason we must have so many is because if you order chicks online, they must come in groups of at least 25 to keep each other warm while they are shipped... and we already had a bunch before that. Cody wanted to start an egg selling business for the kiddos. And here they are:

White Wing, the biggy roosting in the back, is our sole rooster, and he keeps all the girls fertile, the bully. The youngest just started laying and we get over 2 dozen eggs a day.

Had a fun FHE last night. We talked about making decisions ahead of time, and putting them down as commitments in our journal. We are all praying about our decisions this week, and will write the ones we choose down next week, and will hopefully add to our own lists throughout our lives, and continue to pray to keep those commitments. Chandler had the activity, and set up a war game, outfitting every family member in his super hero outfits complete with weapons. Annali made puppy chow for dessert.

Here's Corban helping with the endless mountain of laundry. Love you all& hope you enjoyed conference n fiddler on the roof.
