Gosh it has been a long time since I wrote in here! Life with 4 kids is crazy! In my last entry I had just found out I was pregnant. Well Emma Faith was born on October 12th weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce. She was my only completely natural birth with no drugs. It was mighty painful but so rewarding and empowering. Emma completes our family and my husband will be getting the snip after the first of the year. Elijah is now 6 and started kindergarten this fall. He loves it and is doing wonderful. Ellie Grace 3, is my little helper...when she wants to be. She is such a little mommy but comes with lots of sass and attitude. Claire is 2 and well that should say it all lol. She is by far my most difficult child and at the same time she is the one who keeps me laughing at the same time. She is truly a beautiful girl - even if she is the biggest tomboy lol. If there is something to get in to..she will get into it. If there is something to climb...she will climb it. If there is a pen/marker/crayon anywhere she can get to it (think the climbing...it is used to decorate her canvas (being everythign we own). The first weekend we moved into our home, she decided that the walls (and beds and couch and carpet) would look better with red sharpee on them. Oh yeah, no lie. A 10 minute nap from a first trimester pregnant woman ended when a certian beautiful child came to me covered in red marker exclaiming "i so petty". sigh I tell you, God knew what he was doing when he made her funny and pretty otherwise I think she would have been sent back! Emma's first 7 weeks have flown by so fast. We spent last week in the hospital with RSV, not a fun time at all. She had to have oxygen to help her breath and had to have her throat/upper airways suctioned out often. It was really not fun at all. I actually had proccessed hospital turkey for Thanksgiving - yummy huh? Nope! I did have leftovers brought up to me but they just aren't the same as fresh from the oven. So we are having THanksgiving here on Saturday to make up for it. I do though have tons to be Thankful for. I have a wonderful husband who would give me the world if I asked him. He is a wonderful father. I have 4 children that fill my life with so much love and joy. I have a God who loved me so much that He had his Son's life taken so that I don't have to pay the price for my sins. That is a lot to be thankful for huh?
Oh I started selling Gold Canyon Candles in September. They are the most wonderful candles ever. Seriously, I used to be a partylite junky then I realized they were way overpriced and didn't smell as strong as I thought they should. Then I moved on to yankee - still over priced. The I smelled a Gold Canyon Candle and I have been hooked ever since. I love selling them because everyone who smells them is immediately hooked also. Right now burning in my kitchen is Cranberry Cobbler - it is in my kitchen but can be smelled all over my house. I have Clean Sheets burning in my bathroom since I just cleaned it. It smells like clean fresh laundry and is such a wonderful bathroom/bedroom scent!

Well Emma is fussing and it is about naptime for the girls. Maybe I will get better at this entry stuff.
