A Full Quiver...

Today was the final day of my mini-vacation here in Colorado with the Martin clan - 4 wonderful days of laughter, relaxation, unbridled junk-food eating (there goes my training - oh well, I can hit it hard and heavy when I get back - yeah, right), and sunshine (did you know the sun actually shines down here?). Most importantly, I've been able to meet, enjoy, and love on Shon and Cory, and in turn, be loved on by them. Since Misty and Jon shared with us their intent to adopt, I've thought about how fortunate whoever God brought into the Martin family would be to be a part of the family (immediate and extended) when in reality, we are the ones who are blessed to have them in our lives. How precious this time has been...

Fun X 6

All 6 kids had a great time last Saturday, just hanging out at home playing together. I can say with certainty that our house was not quiet, but filled with lots of laughter and giggles.

Cory reminds us of those dancing dolls that when you push the button on their back all the joints come loose.:)

Lauren is trying to convince Cory to start walking. I keep telling her that it really is better if he crawls for a while. :) Since this video a week ago, he is now standing independently. Watch out world!
