Ahh, tis no more. Sorry Crystal. We all were very surprised and shocked when we found out that you kicked the goat out of your house. Man, what a bummer. Such a nice flake, um, er, I mean guy. Yeah, nice guy. Wow, I hope he does well in the Christmas lighting department with his dad. You'll meet someone better out there for you Crystal. Someone who's gonna treat you right, like you deserve.  

This is Matthew Philip, our sweet little baby. He was born on Nov.29, 2005. He's 4 weeks old! I can't believe it.  

Bad words
The neighbor girl that is Joshua's age was outside with the boys today. We over heard her talking to them. This is all we heard from her: We're not supposed to say words like Sh** and Damn. Bob Told her not to talk like that. Then Bob turned to me and said , 'She forgot about F***, and A**, etc, etc.' It was awesome. The highlight of my day. Just wanted to share that with you. Oh yeah, and we had a wonderful Christmas. Thanks. The boys got loads of stuff, and so did we. Someone gave us toomuch money, but didn't want to say who they were. I think I know who they were. But they didn't want to admit it. Thank you to whoever you are. It was very sweet of you.

Today was my first day without the help of my husband. Ahh. Not fun. Joshua was being his normal loud self. I lost it. Then I apologized to him. He tried to run away from me. I followed him. He kept trying to push me away, then I put the baby up to Joshua's cheek. Joshua melted and kissed him. Matthew calmed him down. He said the baby was cute. Matthew started crying and Joshua started laughing. Then Joshua asked me if I could leave him alone in his room. My husband will be happy that I've been doing laundry and dishes all day. It's not spotless, but I've made a dent. Matthew has been sleeping for like 3 hours.

Matthew is two weeks old today. He's sleeping right now. That's the only way I can blog. He's 8 pounds exactly, and he's 21 inches long now. He's grown so much in just two weeks. My husband is a huge help to me and the boys. I know he would love to be working right now, but I also know that he'll never have this opportunity to see his boys so little for such a short time. God has His own plans for us, and I know that it's turning out just like He wants. I love you Bob. For everything you've given me, for all the times you've helped me, and for just loving me for who I am. God has blessed us with so many beautiful gifts. I feel like you and our sweet little boys are my gifts. I don't need presents for Christmas, I already have what I want.
