I’m baaaaaaaaaccck!!

December 4th, 2009

Hello, All!  Remember me?  The keeper of this blog?!

I really hadn’t intended on being absent for so long. My computer died and I was using Len’s for a while.  Every time I used Len’s computer…there wasn’t really time for blogging.  So it took a back seat…

There is so much to write.  There is so much I had wished I could blog about.  Life has REALLY changed.  I will spare you from every detail, and just tell of some of what God has done in our lives.

Our summer was fruitful in both the garden and our lives!  It was amazing.  We grew closer as a family.  Len and I both to each other and to our children.

This past summer/fall I spent most any spare minute that I had in organizing our home.  I don’t believe our home has ever actually been organized.  I would have one room, maybe  two rooms organized at a shot, but never the entire home.  Organizing took several trips to the local consignment shop as well as to the thrift store and dumpster. I think perhaps the kids’ closets need organizing once again, but I can honestly say that I know what we have and where it is. LOL! This makes our lives SOOOOOOO much easier.

We also switched our house all around to include Len’s office to be downstairs, out of our bedroom, and into the dining room.  We switched the living room and dining room and moved the TV upstairs.  The kids still watch videos here and there upstairs, but no more being glued to the television.  We LOVE it that way.  They are so much more creative and their imaginations have simply flourished!!

Monday-Thursday I have started watching three boys, ages 5, 3, and 8 months.  I watch them for 3 hours and make a bit of money to help out.  I think God rewarded me for getting my house in order.  Because of this I was able to buy a new laptop…nothing big and special just a simple netbook, which makes me even more organized when it comes to youth group and church stuff.  My  iPod is wonderful, but I get a little cross eyed reading everything on that sometimes. :-)

So…this is our life.  I will update more and here and there on the children and our doings. :-)  God is good and I thank Him for this wonderful life He gives me!!!

Spring is in the air!!

March 6th, 2009

mar2009-030So we went outside today to enjoy it!  This was the first time since she can walk that Moriah has been outside to play!!  The snow was so high and it was so cold around here that it wasn’t wise to take her out before today!  She LOVED it!  She’s a little daredevil though and I quickly found the swing and put her in it so she didn’t get hurt on the ice!  She giggled loudly with each swoosh of the swing.  It was very amusing!!

She loved watching her big brother too!!  Elijah hasn’t had nearly as much outdoor play as he would like.  He is all boy and would be outside 24/7 if weather and Mommy would allow!  This morning he REALLY enjoyed himself!  Last fall he was still a bit too small for a “big boy” swing, but this year he’s getting a little more brave with it…just don’t push him to high!!

mar2009-038He also enjoyed his slide!  He has a small little tikes slide inside this winter, but nothing beats a “big” slide!!  He can climb it all by himself now without scaring mommy and he LOVED it!  He screamed WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

mar2009-070Mommy couldn’t help but smile at them!  They’re just so darn cute!  :-)   We had a great time outside!!

mar2009-041So until all of this melts out of the yard and fields…

mar2009-040We are THRILLED with 49 degrees!!!

Welcome to my NEW site!

February 21st, 2009

Hello!  Thanks for following me over here!

In order to show a bit more unity in our home, I talked Len into building me a new site!  I hope you like it!  He put lots of hard work into it and I LOVE it!  Thanks, Honey!

Why mrs.lenflack.com?

Well let me tell you!  Len owns the domain lenflack.com  DUH!  And since I love him and I love being Mrs. Len Flack, I asked him to make the site for me!  Isn’t he talented?  :-)   Now when I post pics of the babes, they are on lenflack.com and not on some other random site!

I hope you enjoy my new site!  I know I do!

What’s new in the Flack household?  Not much!  The kiddos both ave colds again and we’re doing breathing treatments again!  At least they’re cute while they do them!  Oh yes and mommy loves the cuddle time!

Breather Babies

What Whirlwind!

February 9th, 2009

We had a pretty relaxing and fun filled week planned. Dinner with friends on two nights, play group for the kids and I and Len didn’t have to preach this past weekend, so he wouldn’t be super busy writing a sermon. I thought it was gonna be a really great week! Well…Monday was great! We spent some time together as a family, had lunch with Len’s mom and got some really good news about our finances! We were looking forward to Tuesday.

Then, early Tuesday morning around 1:30 or so, Elijah woke me up crying. He threw up all the rest of the night. Poor boy! He was sick all Tuesday and into Wednesday night. Wednesday morning Len stayed home with him while Moriah and I went to playgroup.

We probably should have stayed home though because Wednesday afternoon/early evening Moriah got it too. She was sick all evening and into the Thursday. Thursday morning I got it. And somehow…it skipped Len! Whoo HOO! We ended up canceling all of our plans for the week and ya know what? It was ok. We’re all better now and God is still awesome.

Wanna know the funny part of it all?

If you ask Elijah…he’ll tell you all about how “Mommy throwd up! BLEUGH! (making puking noises and sticking his tongue out) and Sissy did too and it was gross!” LOL! Never mind the fact that he threw up too! Kids are so funny sometimes!

5. Really cute kids! Especially mine!
