Anna is a great helper! She is also a pretty good scrapbooker! Here she is backing pictures of Alexsey on colored paper. They are are going to be used at the adoption fundraiser tomorrow.
Dennis feeds himself now, and he does a great job of it too! He not only leans over his bowl when I ask him too, but he also takes his spoon and wipes his chin with it to get up the excess drips. It is so cute!
"Mom look right there. Can you see? That is where I threw my cookie."
Adam with Dolly curled up on his chest. Awwww, I don't see this very often.

Every once in a while, I need to remind myself to get in a few of the pictures.
Here is my Mom and I on Easter. She came to church to watch our cardboard testimonies. It was a wonderful service, and I enjoyed cooking in the kitchen with her after.
Lastly, I leave you with this mystery. One of my kids keeps taping the scissors shut. This is the third time.
So far I have asked four of the "older" children (when I remember) and they all look at me like, "Come on Mom, do I look like I would do such a thing?" Ummm....... I'm wondering the same thing.

Cardboard testimonies are awesome! Does your church have a website where they may have posted the video? Your family is an inspiration to me and thank you for the many lessons you have taught me through your blog.
Dennis looks so much different than before- he's always been adorable but what a difference, I hope it helps with hurtful comments from people who don't know better. Are you at least able to laugh over the scissors? I don't know that I'd be able to keep a straight face, at least the first 2 times....
Hi Christine. Jack (my 3yr old) Just saw a picture of Dennis and asked who is he? I said he is Dennis. Jack said 'is he my friend?' I of course said 'yes, if you would like to be Dennis's friend then Im sure he is your friend' he doesnt understand you live so far away he will never actually get to meet Dennis in person but hey he can always hope can't he.
The picture of you and Dennis is gorgeous and as for the scissors well mmmm I would ask maybe a 5yr old? as the 5yr old in my house likes to do that to our scissors..anyway hope you have a nice day
Love the scissors thing. Looks like a great opportunity for mum payback... when you work out who it is.
the scissors. . .not that my kids have done this but I can tell you what their response would be
"I did it so my little sister couldn't use them to get hurt." They are very protective and do some strange things in the name of protection.
Anna sounds like my kind of girl - I LOVE scrapbooking!!
When I find stuff like this.. things taped or tied, I just give the job of cleaning it up to the first kid I come to... I don't know who does it, doesn't matter. It gets cleaned, and then they remind each other not to leave stuff like those scissors. I have to say, that as goofy as it is, I love to see stuff like that... it shows that they are thinking. Being creative? Wondering 'what if'? Seeing if they can get mom to believe in poltergeists? I don't know, but it's an interesting glimpse into how a kid thinks and interacts with the world. :)
Is your fundraiser at your church?
Did you find out the taping scissors culprit?
Do we get to guess on who the scissors taper is? My guess is...William. :) We seem to frequently have tape on the scissors here, although they're not taped shut. We also used to find tape on tables, chairs, etc... My oldest (who has a mild form of Aspergers) used to LOVE tape. Now he's moved on.
Christine, Haven't you learned yet that you have an invisible child called "NOT ME!" He does it EVERY TIME! Now your scissor problem is solved. :) LOL
Hee to the scissors! Oh how I love a good mystery.

did Dennis just get a haircut lately or have I been MIA so long this month that I missed it, he looks so grown up.
So proud of Dennis. He has come along way.. Best of luck & god bless..
taping the scissors- that's pretty funny!
I have the same problem so many times Kaitlyn needs pictures for school and I realize I'm not in any of them it's more fun to be the picture taker. It must be a mom thing bacause my family albums growing up were like that yoo.
What are cardboard testimonies? Scissors thing?? funny, I have seen this at my house, but not for awhile!
That is a sweet pic of Anna. She looks to be in her element. The scizzors incident is so "my life" lol
hugs-jen
Great pictures. I love the one of you and Dennis.
LOL at the taped scissors
