Has it really been a week and a half since I posted?! Time just keeps going by faster and faster! I don’t have a big inspirational post for you, but I do have a couple of photos, and a random list update:

Jarvis got his hair cut short recently. He doesn't generally sport a faux-hawk, but it's pretty cute.
- Jarvis started practices for soccer. Games don’t start until September though.
- I’m not as sarcastic as I used to be. Out loud anyway. And I’m finding that this is making me pretty boring.
- Paige still isn’t walking (she’s 16 months, 3 days). She took 6 steps in the nursery on Sunday (I was in there with her, and she walked to me), and then later that day, Jarvis said she took 8 steps. But she hasn’t done it again. I know she CAN walk, but she refuses. She’s just way too cautious.
- My brother, Josh, is coming tonight and staying until Saturday. It’ll be good to see him. The kiddos love it when he visits (especially Jacob).
- The three oldest kids spent last week at church camp and had a total blast.
- I need to gain like five pounds. I guess that’ll probably happen once I stop breastfeeding Paige though. Maybe. Still, I’d rather be too thin than too fat. So it’s all good.
- If only being thin were synonymous with being in shape. I was on a roll working out, but then I got sick and haven’t gotten back into the swing of things.
- It’s been WAY too hot to go for walks though. A treadmill is on my wish list for days that are too hot/cold/rainy.
- Paige is teething again. She had been doing really well sleeping through the night after she got her molars, but now the eye teeth are bothering her. I hope they don’t take too long to come in… :-/

Britta got her bangs cut (by me), and she looks super pretty with them. She's one of those people that looks completely different with different hairstyles!
- Have I mentioned that Justice is taller than Britta? He passed her up a couple of months ago. He’s probably around 5’8″ now.
- I love my children! They are all so awesome. If I had better pregnancies, I think I’d probably try to have a dozen kiddos.
- I’m sure I have more to update, but I can’t think of any of it now.
-
Let’s see if I get that right:
Brittany loves music and is talented at piano playing. She also is an artist.
Justice loves anything Marine and plans to join Marine soon as he’s old enough.
Jarvis loves soccer sports and collecting rocks.
Darby loves being a princess and being artisty.
Jacob loves having things just so and so. Loves monkeys and loves to make people laugh.
Paige loves just being a crawler and wants to play with the big siblings.
Am I right so far?
It’s rather nice how you talk about your children all the time on your blog. And how you love your husband. It’s very wonderful and encouraging.

You should start being sarcastic again, it helps you keep your sanity…
Ha, I’ve never worked out in my life, and I think I am in pretty good shape… I’ve bought plenty of ‘equipment’ over the years, joined the Y, gyms, etc, I just can’t do it…
I LOVE the hot, humid weather, I dread the cold though.
LOVE the pics of Britt and Jarvis!! So cute!
-
you do have some beautiful children!!!
