Just a quick note to say that Dave and I leave in the morning for our Alaskan adventure. My Mom is able to come and watch our kids in spite of her terrible flood fiasco. Thanks to those of you who prayed for them! We got a call from the travel agent yesterday informing us of a room change on the ship. Evidently, Princess Cruises need our rooms, so they bumped us up to a suite with a huge balcony. (Free of charge! Now, that's sweet!-----bad pun, I know!)
Lots of pictures when we get home...............Love to all!!!!!

Poxie Moxie!!!!!!
Caleb's back. OUCH!!!!!!
This quarrantine is starting to take its toll.
Mamaw, you wanted to see this. Ben's gonna hate this!!!!!!
What's New? More Pox!!!!!!
Hallelujah! My last child broke out with the pox this morning! Caleb and Ben broke out on Saturday and it seemed that Emily was going to skate through again. In direct answer to Andrea Truitt's prayers, Emmy got them today. The poor girls are going through "best buddy" withdrawals. When it's said and done, it will have been six weeks since they have played together.
Emmy and I had a little fun in the kitchen on Saturday. We made blackberry cobbler. I remember several years ago, before I had a daughter, it would drive me crazy to have little hands in every pot in the kitchen. It's amazing how my perspective has changed! Emily loves to be on the counter during every meal prep. I'm actually starting to enjoy her help. Yes, we have found reddish-blond hairs in the soup. (don't tell the men!)
I'm finally starting to get excited about Dave and I's big anniversary cruise to Alaska. We've been planning it for eight months and now it is only three weeks away. Passports are in, will has been notarized, Mamaw is scheduled to babysit, all thats left is the packing........
Here's Emmy's latest quip: Last night at dinner, Dave and I were discussing and agonizing over our recent bid for termite treatment for the house. I was stressing (as usual) and Emily looked at Dave and said, "Well, don't use any of my money!"

Help! I need you Geek Squad!
My post went crazy and I can't seem to fix it! It looks like one of those eye exam charts at the doctor's office. SO sorry!!!!!!
I've been tagged, tagged, and tagged!!!!!!
Ten Years Ago----We lived in Benton, MO. Dave was doing his clinical rotations. I had two little boys and was expecting a third. Life was a lot simpler back then. There was time for sewing, smocking, and playing. Josh was learning to read and Ben was jumping off dressers and breaking his bones. On second thought, maybe life really hasn't changed that much!
Five Things On My To Do List---- 1. Fold the PILE of clean clothes on the floor in my bedroom.
2. Finish up the week of school with my kids. 3. Do the dishes.............AGAIN! 4. Go out on a date with my hubby. 5. Say something to my kiddos besides: go take that test, finish dusting, stop making Emily cry, no more wrestling, you forgot to do Math, yes, you can play a computer game, Please go play a computer game!, Is it time for that date yet?
Snacks I Love---- 1.Anything to do with coffee (I mean anything!!!) 2. Moist and chewy brownies.(I have been known to eat them for breakfast.)
If I Had A Billion Dollars----I'd pay off Dave's student loans if it would go that far. Smile! I would most certainly find some orphanages and missionaries to support. I'd take my Mom, my sis, my Grandma Throne, and my sis-in-law, Brit, on a girl's vacation.
Three Bad Habits----1.Not putting the clean sheets back on my bed until it's almost bedtime. (This really bugs my dear husband).
2. Buying something because it's a good deal----not because I need it! (I have a closet full of the evidence of this very bad habit.)
3. Planning my supper menu an hour before it's time to eat. Warning! Can cause the cook to be very creative and the diners to be very puzzled!
Places I Have Lived----1.Milan, IL 2.Tulsa,OK 3.Shreveport, LA 4.Papua New Guinea 5. Rock Island,IL 6. Kirksville, MO 7.Benton, MO 8. Carbondale, IL 9. Cape Girardeau, MO 10. Jackson, MO
Jobs I Have Held----1.Waitress at a catfish restaurant, 2. Babysitter, 3.Clerk at a fabric store, 4. House cleaning service, 5. Full-time wife and mom.
