Some Oldies but Goodies

These are from April 2013, but since my last post for 2013 was in March, I thought I'd post a few of my favorite pictures from last year. 

I mean  you all missed out on a whole year of our life. 

Did you miss us?

Did you even know we were gone?

I'm gonna pretend you did and flood you with posts and pictures.  



This is such a Cayden picture! Mouth wide open. Making a loud obnoxious noise and irritating the FIRE out of Chandler.

Chan doesn't look too annoyed here, but I had to put the camera down to get Cayden off of him as he was screaming his head off.


This is typical Joseph. Always smiling. I love you, Joe.


And my baby. I mean really!!!


Look at that perfect baby!


Chandler Triumph, I'm so glad you were born.



Love,
Amber

Chandler Triumph 7 months

I can NOT believe you're is already 7 months old! 

Chandler you've brought so much joy into our lives. You're everything a mother hopes her baby will be. You wake up smiling, you love to nurse, and you love me!

You love to play with your big brothers. They can make you laugh out loud. This month you started laughing out loud and it's so cute!

When you get excited you lift up your head and bite you bottom lip throwing you head back as you smile! ALL of us love to watch you do it so we do things to make you do it over and over again. You're so precious!

I love it when you nurse and play with your foot. You grab your toes and pull your foot backwards. It's so precious! 

Most the time when you nurse you're looking right into my soul. Your big brown eyes and so captivating. I love you!

This month you've started to sit by yourself but we put pillows all around you so when you fall it doesn't hurt. You still can't sit up unsupported.

When someone comes home, as soon as they walk in the door, you start to scream. It's like you're saying. "Yay! I'm so glad you came back!" 

You love to eat carrots, squash, bananas, banana bread, and drink! If someone is drinking and you see them you start flapping your hands on your legs and raising your head up and down as if you're asking for a drink too. If the person drinking doesn't notice that you're calling for them to BRING YOU SOME, you start screaming.... but not a defiant scream. More like a little baby bird asking for some water.. So so cute!

There's nothing about you that's defiant. You're a lover! And you truly bring light.

Just two days ago, we started having you sleep on the floor on Daddy's side of the bed. We're trying to wean you from drinking milk at night cause Mommy's SO TIRED! AND we're hoping to get you out of our bed. LOL 

You've slept with us longer and than any of the others!! 7 WHOLE MONTHS. But we haven't minded because you're probably our last baby.
Daddy decided enough was enough the other night when you kicked him ALL NIGHT LONG. LOL

We have your baby bed all ready for the big moment. You can do it, Buddy! You're big brother Cayden made the jump from our room to his when he was 8 months old.... that's what we're aiming for. We'll see what happens.

Those big brown eyes steal my heart


You love to bite your bottom lip

Look at those chubby boobies



Perfect picture of you throwing your head back in laughter

Hi, Mommy!


I see you with my one little eye
Love,
Your Mommy

A Baby is Born

I didn't think I should post about the birth until I posted the last pregnancy picture I took. I thought you should see just how LARGE I was!!! I only gained 37lbs BUT MY WORD my syomach is large!
I'm blaming it on the fact that this was my SEVENTH, yes your read that correctly, pregnancy. Surely that counts for something, right?!?

Oh to have that baby OUT OF ME and IN MY ARMS!!!!


These are my dearest friends and prayer buddies. Mary Beth flew down from East Thailand to be with me for the birth! What an amazing friend. Pii Thak came for the day to pray while I was in surgery. I love these ladies.
What would a missionary do in a foreign land with no family around if not for fellow missionaries and nationals who have become like family. I praise God for these two women!
My prayer warriors while I'm in surgery
This was the first thing Clinton saw as she pulled him out...he was breech. Is that not the MOST precious foot you've ever seen!?!?
The most precious foot I've ever seen
Just a few hours after surgery, I'm drugged beyond belief!!!! This didn't happen to me last time. For some reason, the doctor gave me Morphine right after my surgery and I was in and OUT for almost 24 hours! It was horrible. Every time I woke up I asked the nurse or Mary or anyone in the room, "What did they give me?!?" I could barley lift my head off the pillow much less nurse a baby!!
Just a few hours after surgery

Our precious Chandler


We feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to raise another son. We pray that God will teach and instruct us how to raise him to be the man God has called him to be.

More to come!

Love
