New Photos

Elizabeth and Jordan at graduation.

Well, yes it has been a long time.

I will try to catch you up. The kids have gotten bigger. Big surprise right.

Paul is doing great in physical therapy. He has reached 9 of his 13 goals. The big one his therapist is working on right now is jumping. He can not jump so she believes that has something to do with him being VERY flat footed. We are going to have him fitted for inserts that will fit in his shoes. She seems to think that will help with the probelm. He has to were tennis shoes pretty much all the time.

Audriann is finally getting a little excited about the thought of pre-school. Her famous saying is she will never grow up or get big. Teaching her letters has been no picnic. Still working on that adventure. She still loves dress up and has been talking about wanting her ears pierced. She will have to sweet talk her daddy on that one.

Elizabeth is still looking for a job. High School is over. YEA! She is working on the last few details on college and hopes to start at ASU-Beebe in the fall. It is a 2 year college that offers the chance to go on and complete the four years at the other campus. Liz is not sure she what she really wants to do in life. Hopefully the career counselor at school can help with that question.

As for Nathan and I not much to report. Nathan is working the 2 jobs along with everything else in life. I started back to work with the Quick's. I really enjoy working at the office and glad to back with the ladies, I missed them.

The house addition is almost completed. The trim work is all that needs done, Okay maybe it needs some decorating help too.

Have a great day and thanks for looking.

A New Feline

This is a picture of Pumpkin. Late winter last year she showed up around the house. She was a very gentle and sweet cat. Audriann really loved her. She had an accident about 2 weeks ago. Her love for climbing got her killed. One of her favorite places to be was on top of the opened garage door. On our way to church we closed the door and the cat got caught between the door and the wall. She died the next day.
Audriann was heart broken. She helped to bury Pumpkin, at her request, and then that night Audriann was in tears til she fell asleep. Sooooo.......The next day hero daddy brought home the newest family member. Yep, Nathan went to the local cat clinic and Paco (he came with the name) joined the Wolfe family.


This is the day Nathan brought home Paco. Audriann and Paul just love him. He really is the sweetest cat ever. The kids pick him up, roll on him, and do just about anything you can think of and the cat just takes it. He has never once scratched any of us. Paco's only down fall is he was an inside cat at the clinic and likes to use a litter box. His box is outside since he is an outside cat. So hopefully in the future we can ween him from the box to the outside world for his business.

Hello to everyone that visits the blog this is our Paco.

According to Audriann "He is our very special cat and we have to take really good care of him so he does not get hurt like Pumpkin and die." Broke my heart when she told me this. So Lord please look over the cat we can not handle another kitty cat heartache. AMEN!!

Cards!

I have to share the cutest card I learned to make. They are the Frankie Couple!

Senior Portraits

The task is over. Elizabeth and I embarked on the adventure of senior pictures.
I haven't decided if they are senior or high fashion model portraits. LOL Here is the link www.tracyeharnedphotography.com then click on gallery, then recent sessions. Please take a look and let us know what your thoughts are. She has grown to be so beautiful. Tracye called her very photogenic.
It was quite amusing to watch Liz attempting to do what the photographer asked of her. Laughing was the best medicine. It seems to be better than the alternative which would have involved tears. Get the tissues ready for next year.

Tracye did a wonderful job and worked extremely hard. So that task is done the next is to get the diploma on May 15, 2009. Crazy my little girl about to be in the real world. Well, hopefully college will be next. Last I heard she wants to do something in the dental field. Maybe a dental hygienist. A mother can only continue to pray for her!!! Any added prayers for Liz?? She could use all the help she can get.
Thanks for looking. Have a great start of the week.

A New Paul!

Let's start from the beginning.----- Nathan thought Paul needed a haircut. We come up with the brainy idea to cut his hair while he was sleeping. Not so brainy. The hair keep tickling him and waking him up. It was awful looking. Can I add that I do not know how to cut hair!!!
The kids and I were out today for Paul's therapy appointment and Liz's hair appointment so at the last minute the decision was made. Paul's hair needed to be fixed. Even though I did not have a camera to capture the moment.....It had to be done.
So here we are with a before shot of the hair that had taken over his ears. And here is the after shot. What a big boy he is. It still has a few issues because the lollipop only kept him busy for so long but anything is better than it was.

What a fun day.

The kids and I went to a small water park last Tuesday. We had a blast. The park is pretty small but to small kids it seems huge. The kiddie pool was the hit of the day. Personally I enjoyed the lazy river. The wave pool was a bit to much for the smaller kids. There were a few tube rides, but you had to be a certain height to ride them so Elizabeth went with her friends and rode then she watched Paul and Audriann for me while I went and rode with Heather, Brendan, and James. I felt like a kid again it was fun. Here is Audriann and Caleb. they played most of the day together.
The kiddie pool had a small pump that would push water up like a fountain. Paul's favorite right after the small slide.
Elizabeth, Jordan, and Paul getting ready to float the lazy river. Audriann went with Liz's friend PJ.
Chris and Daniel taking a break under the tree for a snack.
I guess this sums up the whole day. This picture was taken before we even made it to the interstate. Hope a few of you out there still check out the blog. Sending love your way from AR.

It's Official.....

Paul is WALKING. Hallelujah. He started walking some on the 4th of July. Then Tuesday he was walking around somemore by today, YES he is walking everywhere. Paul is still tipping the right foot way out so I will have to keep a close eye on that.
Outside in the back yard with the kitten.
Audriann yelling at me not to take her picture. She is so much like Nathan.
What a sweet picture of all my babies.. Love them.
Audriann wants to be a ballerina. Okay I don't think her daddy wanted to dance.LOL
Have a great weekend. The Wolfe Family.
