Today, as I sat in Church and watched as Greg was installed as Associate Pastor</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought about prayers answered 8 years after they were first whispered </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought about our 13 years together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the 40 x 40 more years to come </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought about the marriages of friends breaking apart</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of people walking away from their covenants with one another and with God</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, I thought about 40 years </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and all that God has blessed me with, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as we celebrate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these 40 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>For the Lord is good;</i></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">

<div style="text-align: right;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As the beginning of summer I had big plans,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plans to relax, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plans to convince Greg that he should paint the kitchen cabinets, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plans to workout every day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I was going to post on the blog every single day..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even if it was only a new picture,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was going to happen every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well as plans go, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
none of them happened </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
except for the relaxing...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, as we get ready to begin the next school year, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it would be fun to recap the last 4 months </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and share what we actually did!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a baseball lesson from big sister. </div>

<br />
<br />
Every Monday the principal of my building sends out a weekly newsletter called<br />
<br />
The Happenings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is to let us know the "happenings" of the building,<br />
<br />
anything special that's going on during the week, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or things that might be coming up.<br />
<br />
At the end of today's Happenings he wrote<br />
<br />
"As you may know, Shannon Johnson will be returning to the building<br />
this Wedensday. We want to thank Laura Andrews for all that she has<br />
done in the last three months while Shannon has been out."<br />
<br />
As I read this, I realized two things;<br />
<br />
1) my principal clearly recycles the Happenings year to year<br />
<br />
and doesn't always do a thorough job of proofreading it.<br />
<br />
2) this was the week I returned to work last year after having Oskar.<br />
<br />
So, I thought it was time to do a quick year in review...<br />
<br />
well, a year and 4 months in review...<br />
<br />
and, no,<br />
I still have not figured out why I can't download new pictures onto my laptop...<br />
<br />
Greg is of course at the library...<br />
<br />
so it will have to wait...<br />
<br />
maybe I'll have Halloween pictures posted by Christmas!<br />
<br />
Enjoy <br />

I would like to add that I went a whole day and a half with<br />
no one telling me the hair clip Hannah Grace<br />
had put in my hair long before we left for the hospital<br />
was still in my hair. <br />
<br />
I don't usually wear pink butterfly clips outside of my home....<br />
and allow myself to be photographed.<br />

Growing up, I always wished I had a sister.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Someone I could play with, share clothes with, someone I could talk about boys with...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all of my friends had sisters and while I knew there were times of fighting, I also knew that a sister was a different type of friend that you would have for life and I was a little sad that it was something I didn't think I would have.<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead, this was the baby brother the good Lord gave me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He didn't want to talk about boys and I didn't want to share his clothes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, we had a lot of fun moving around the world growing up together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, it is because of him that I can finally say I have a sister.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bobby and Lauren were married five years ago this past October.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many things that have happened in those five years<br />
<br />
and one of them is that I have been fortunate to have Lauren in my life.<br />
<br />
Today is her birthday and as I thought back on the last five years<br />
I thought of all of the things she has brought into my life.<br />
<br />
So, I thought I'd make a list of what I've gained,<br />
<br />
because my baby brother got married... <br />
<br />
1)I now have someone who loves my kids as only Greg and I can. She has taken the time to get to know each of them and celebrates exactly who God has created them to be.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr5O3UVUp8FDQ4nkKCYTV8i0auisAo3NDtnwaEbuqoZIPiTyZh12mg5DINZkfnLNCHt0xmVi2V9WTAST-Lxo9NNGBeKiGlBCPRWIfURWrJlY348ZDPFPGuV51qbr3sEZCoVVabo4u-slQn/s1600/IMG_1421.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr5O3UVUp8FDQ4nkKCYTV8i0auisAo3NDtnwaEbuqoZIPiTyZh12mg5DINZkfnLNCHt0xmVi2V9WTAST-Lxo9NNGBeKiGlBCPRWIfURWrJlY348ZDPFPGuV51qbr3sEZCoVVabo4u-slQn/s640/IMG_1421.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2) I also have someone who will come to my home for a visit. Then one day at midnight start pushing the furniture around, rearranging and styling the whole room and all of a sudden the room will just work and make sense.<br />
<br />
3) And, I have someone who at 1 in the morning will take all my pictures off the wall and start hammering in nails as she arranges a new gallery wall. All while the men play golf video games and the 5 children sleep.<br />
<br />
4) She is someone who feels comfortable enough with me to periodically, throughout the day just pick up my glass of diet coke and take some sips, no questions asked, no harm done.<br />
<br />
5) She will talk with me about cute boys.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7Hxa-7S5OFty8JMxxATss4I1CkX59q4yrlY1tjaU3qLkcO3_KibpL1doTULGlld_5bZJZpNdI9gqpZOYYuXm1m1KZApPu0EuOZ88zVyQORtaIKlajyV_MM-kwc9YtLsCLfZJVgbq4exX/s1600/IMG_2968.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7Hxa-7S5OFty8JMxxATss4I1CkX59q4yrlY1tjaU3qLkcO3_KibpL1doTULGlld_5bZJZpNdI9gqpZOYYuXm1m1KZApPu0EuOZ88zVyQORtaIKlajyV_MM-kwc9YtLsCLfZJVgbq4exX/s640/IMG_2968.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
6)She also lets me borrow her clothes.<br />
<br />
7) She is also someone who encourages me to look for the the fun in life, my family, my faith, my clothes and in my home. She helps me to recognize the possibilities of the day.<br />
<br />
8) And, she is someone who will ask me about my walk with Christ, my life, things I hope for and things I struggle with...and will listen with intention.</div>

Lauren, I know how Bobby feels about you, but I am truly blessed to call you sister.<br />
<br />
I hope you had a fabulous birthday!</div>

I've been wanting to post new stories and pictures of the kids on the blog</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I somehow can't download pictures from the camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I realized that I tend to update on nights when Greg is at the library or at class,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so, my tech support is not available.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until I get new pictures on my computer, I thought I'd share some things </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that this little one wrote for an assignment at school! </div>

A couple of things I love about these two lists are that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she (1) clearly had just come from science class where they've been learning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about the life cycles of insects, (2) brave spelling can at times be tricky to read but is always fun for a laugh, (3) her carrer choices suit her spunky personality and my personal favorite is her last choice!</div>

Two weeks ago</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...was it really just two weeks ago?...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Heuber Jrs came to town</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had such a fun time together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the days we spent downtown</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in Chicago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a beautiful windy day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I of course, never took my camera out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so, I've stolen every picture in this post from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were four adults with five children</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
each of the adults pushed one stroller...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no children walked. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we covered about 5 miles </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of Michigan Avenue and Lake Shore Drive that day.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I saw the following picture I laughed out loud.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were many moments that day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when I looked down the street to see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Greg and Lauren with their strollers at least a block and a half </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ahead of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bobby and I and our strollers.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hadley and Hannah Grace were happy just to hold hands while being pushed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bobby and I look as if we've been walking for days pushing hundreds of pounds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
down the grueling streets of Chicago just trying to keep up...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
whenever Bobby's biting his tongue like that you know he's either </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
exerting a lot of physical effort or thinking really hard.</div>

Both of them were soon shipped off to their own beds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what the little ones did that first day while I was gone.</div>

I realize school began well over a month ago....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the sad thing is I actually just wrote </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"school began over a year ago..." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then realized my mistake! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month has felt like a year for different reasons, but I digress....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while the first day of school is long past gone, I never posted our back to school pictures from that first day!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
They were so excited and proud</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Although, they're both looking a little apprehensive....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which might be because I was getting a little snappy here, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
trying to make it to school on time.</div>

Lily asked to have her picture taken in front of the tree.</div>

Lily, of course loves second grade and her teacher. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's forgotten her homework twice, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
been spoken with about slowing down and paying attention </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when she packs up her materials at the end of the day, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and learned the valuable lesson of having a good friend in your class </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who will read the spelling list to you over the phone </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so that you can study for your spelling test,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and in her own words<br />"she didn't even think I was crazy!?!"</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, I've been trying to upload a video of Oskar doing a little jig and it has taken nearly 30 minutes to upload which is cuh-<i>razy</i>!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
