The Reppard Crew: even more quickly . . .

even more quickly . . .

we are back from the doctor, and it breaks my heart to say that anna kathryn’s ears are still infected. i had thought that might be the case after another rough night last night. these ear infections are worse on us all than the newborn sleepless nights, for sure! anna had an injection of a strong antibiotic (she screamed the whole time and for 10 min after—it was horrible) and will continue on oral meds as well as the numbing drops. it takes 6 infections in a 6 month window or constant infections for tubes. we are half way there . . . in just under 3 weeks.

please pray for jesus to fully heal anna. for rest for her and for Jesus to restore her ears as well as her appetite. Her weight the other day (18 lbs.+) seemed unusually high to me considering her appetite, so we re-weighed today, and she is 16lbs. 12 oz, so she only weighs .5lbs more than she did three weeks ago. Not good. Please pray with us for Jesus to heal those tiny ears right now!

Have to hurry, because we’re getting ready for some fun with these people . . . (these pics are from Feb and I forgot to post them! ooopsie)

We’ll be having some fun with Judah, too . . . both this “Judah” and the real Judah will be with us!

We hope to do some reading . . .

And some swinging . . . and napping . . . and relaxing . . .

Allow the wind to blow through our hair . . .

Collect some great treasures . . .

Enjoy new sights . . .

Point out our great finds . . .

Hopefully, we’ll have some time for some diggin’ and collecting . . .

And, some pictures . . . Where’s bumpa? (the look on my brother’s face here is priceless.)

Perhaps, we’ll have a ride in wago’ with that sweet Mr. Precious!

And, if we’re lucky, will admire some diggers . . .

Steam roller!!!!!

HI MAN! HIIIIIIIIIII MAN!

These sweet loves will surely enjoy being together . . .

We hope you’re feeling well rested Uncle Criferferferfer . . . you’re about to encounter three toddler-sized balls of energy and one chubby giggle box of a baby! Rest up, and get some caffeine. (Seriously.) Love you!

About

We're a family of six doing our best to remember this wild time in our lives--the laughter, the chaos, the use of sharpies on furniture--you know, the memories we want to hold onto of the four little ones under our roof. Life around here is very full, very imperfect, and often crazy. This is a tiny glimpse of the good times around here--we're choosing what to show you and when to share it. Our hope for this blog is to easily stay connected with friends and family and to remember that at the end of the day, what matters is that we are all in this together and we are deeply loved . . . while it may seem that chaos, laundry and diapers abound, grace and forgiveness abound all the more. This blog is not real life: it is a snapshot of the good times (trust me, there are bad times, too--but I'm less likely to document them here) . . . so enjoy, and be in touch!
