So, the girls and I were out playing in the backyard the other day. I noticed by my potting bench a large washtub full of water. Realizing that I had probably provided an incubation nursery for half the mosquitos in our neighborhood, I quickly dumped it out. It was heavier than I thought and didn't really empty in the place I intended it too...instead it flooded a little brick and dirt path near the house. I didn't think much about it as I then abruptly ran into the house to get the phone. I was gone...maybe 2 minutes?
Apparently little girls love mud...
This is what I found when I returned....
Annie... (note mud on face and pants)
Katie... (note mud on face and in ponytail)
Partners in crime....
Trying to make a fast getaway?
Emie... (definitely trying to cover up evidence!)
(note mud on pants and corners of mouth!)
The question is..."Where was David in all of this?" Taking a nap of course - poor little guy, missed all the fun!

Oh how cute they all are! I'm praying things are settling in for you now and that it isn't so overwhelming. Praying you are getting enough rest to care for all your blessings!

They are adorable!
I loved making mud pies as a girl! :) Not sure if you received my email I sent the other day...I wanted you to know I found your blog on Reece's Rainbow last week...and was so drawn to your story that I read EVERY post you have written to learn about your story...which is amazing, and inspiring, I must have spent a couple hours! Your family is beautiful!! I cried, I took note of verses you mentioned that spoke right to my heart, and fell in love with your family.
It looks like all 3 girls are adjusting well! :)

Hope everything is going as well as it looks, the girls looks so happy and healthy. Mud pies and getting dirty is all good fun! They look relatively clean..LOL
i'm sure they knew if they got dirty & muddy they could take a bath!!! One of their favorite things. What cuties :)
Good to hear from you again, Karen. Isn't it funny how a mess never looks quite as messy in the picture as in real life.

Oh this is so cute. They look like they are having a lot of fun.
This is too funny! Brings back memories of when we would go to your farm house as kids and make mud pies!
I just told a friend about that recently. I said that they were the best mud pies at your house, as you had field corn to mix in too!
Your girls are precious!! What a God thing this is!!
Praying for you!!

That is a wonderful fun memory, Joni!
:) And playing on the rock pile and in the grove behind our house, do you remember that too? I loved those places!
i love those girls:)
ps - you're "it" in case you get free moments to blog;)!
