While I have been laid up...

 Well, a month later and things are slowly getting back to normal...I still have restrictions, pain, limp, stiffness, etc, but all in all things are going in the right direction... And since then I thought I would let you peek into all that has been happening or not happening as the case. Enjoy the many pictures

The boys enjoyed jumping in leaves with our helper

They also enjoyed time with friends when another friend cam to help me out for a day.

Titus has taken to being an amazing big brother over the last few weeks...

Charity has learned to sit up and drink from a sippy cup (with assistance) while I have been laid up...

The boys have taken to playing with household items...

We visited with some Alpacas at a local farm open house...

We made tapioca sundaes...

AND CELEBRATED A TWO YEAR OLD LIFE AND BLESSING

...black olives, perogis, bbq ribs, cake and Aunt Dani

That is just a little of what has been going on around the house lately... Hopefully sometime soon here I will post pictures of our Hershey Cabin weekend and Thanksgiving!!!

UNTIL THEN COUNT YOUR MANY BLESSING NAME THEM ONE BY ONE....

F-I-R-E

The boys thoroughly enjoyed a visit to my uncle's firehouse (well, where he works) on Saturday. It was a great way to get their minds off of mommy's new ouchy and to release some pent up energy! Enjoy!

Charity even got in on some of the education of our visit and enjoyed a few photo op's as well!

ENJOY THE MANY BLESSINGS  EACH NEW DAY AND NEW WEEK HOLD!

Wood, Wedding, Water

Just before we left on a fast road trip to visit some friends, Titus had a friend come visit us...They enjoyed playing outside, building a fire (restacking our woodpile). It was cute and kept them very well entertained. It seemed our cat (Rascal) was even entertained by them playing....

Then we headed off with to other couples on a 12 hour drive to SC for a friends wedding.

Congratulations Mark and Marj. The wedding was absolutely beautiful.

We then packed up and embarked on another 12 hour drive....Before then we were able to enjoy this beautiful sunrise.

Blessings on your week to come. May God hold you close to His side and provide for you in ways unimaginable....

A Charity Update and some other stuff

I am feeling a need to show off how incredibly cute this baby girl is! She truly is a blessing to us and is holding to her namesake of "HAPPY".  Here is a look into what we get to enjoy about her each new day!

BEING LOVED ON BY HER BROTHERS

STARTING A LOVE FOR READING ALREADY

HER FIRST MEAL OF SOLIDS

SPORTING SOME SUPER CUTENESS.
-The outfit (babyGap) and the bow are an awesome garage sale find and the hat is straight from Mongolia and she loves having it on!-

SOME QUALITY TIME WITH SOME QUALITY GUYS!

Here we are all waiting for Grandma and Grandpa Ebersole's plane to land, so we can welcome them home!

And what is life without Jairus getting stuck! Seriously I think he spends his nights dreaming of new ways to get stuck.

We also had the chance to enjoy the Manheim Farm Show last week. Here are probably the best pictures I took there.

Well, I hope that holds you all over on updates for a little while. Still more busyness to come but what's new around here.
TAKE TIME TO ENJOY THE MANY BLESSINGS GOD GIVES YOU EACH NEW DAY!

A Bash and a Crash

This past weekend we went down to my parents to celebrate both of the boys birthdays. We picked a date in between the two and before my surgery to minimize running! Well, it was a crazy busy day but fun.

You may remember (if you follow me on facebook) I mentioned I was super excited about my rainbow cake. Well here it is in stages.
 
The idea was not very original. I follow a blog MckMama who shared this recipe but it was for a round layered cake which required refrigeration after putting icing on each layer which I neither had the patience or time for. So I got the bright idea to make a 6 sectioned nine by thirteen pan by using aluminum foil and baking the layers that way. And there you have it a beautiful and fun multi-colored rainbow cake.  The boys really liked it!

After cake they spent quite a bit of time running from my moms living room to her kitchen while pushing their new trucks.

  
And this is what happens at 6:00 and it is dinner time and you haven't had a nap all day....

He just couldn't last any longer. So we let him sack for a little before a quick bath and packing back up to head home and to our own beds.

Stay Tuned and I will Let you in on what else we have been up to and my super lame excuses for not posting.
Keep an Eye Out for God-He's all Around-You Know!
