 Cian loves Lightning McQueen or just "Queen" as he calls him.  Cian - 3rd birthday Cian loves to play with Aidan’s Transformers. He gets frustrated though because he can’t transform them himself and parts fall off. So we got him some of his own that are meant for younger kids. He LOVES them and is careful not to share them with his sisters!
It was time for Caedmon to have a haircut. I wasn’t really looking forward to it as it always seems to make them look older. I miss his sweet baby hair. He also started crawling on Cian’s birthday while his Grandpa and Grandma Jarrett and Grandpa and Grandma Amy Packer were here. He is just growing up too fast!  After his new cut.  Caedmon - before haircut  It was getting hard to manage.  This is Riana's hair before I cut it.

Christian Family Conference 2009Posted by bjarrett in Uncategorized, tags: CHEC, HomeSchooling, Raising ChildrenJen and I just got back from the 3 day conference put on by CHEC (Christian Home Educators of Colorado). Mom and Dad watched the older 5 kids for us as we were in Denver 4 nights. It was a HUGE help! The conference was rather overwhelming with many different presentations occurring simultaneously for each of 4 sessions every day. We’ve purchased the recordings of all the sessions so we’ll be able to listen to what we missed, and also review what we did hear. As I go back through the audio I’ll post my findings. I came away from it with a new desire to make sure my children don’t just know the Lord, but are capable of being bold warriors for the faith — of making sure a legacy is passed on that will affect generations after me. I’m seeing how family relationships are much more important than that of “peers” (and how our present society does much to destroy that) and how our children should be ready for “adulthood” much sooner than our society wants them to be. I’ll expand on these concepts more as I search scripture, review the lectures and contemplate my role in all of this before God.  Ciara 9 yrs  Anwen 3 1/2  He just looks like lots of fun! Cian 2 1/2 yrs  Riana 5 yrs  Aidan - almost 7  Ciara is growing her hair long now that she cares for it herself  Aidan, Riana, and Anwen (showing off her painted nails!)  Aidan came up with this pose himself and asked me to take his picture with Cian  Ciara, Aidan, Riana, Anwen, and Cian  Anwen and Caedmon 10 weeks  Caedmon - smiling at Daddy  Caedmon - 2 months  Caedmon - 2 months  Caedmon 8 weeks  Aidan and Caedmon 6 weeks  Aidan loves holding his baby brother  Anwen and Caedmon 6 weeks
Yesterday I took the kids to the hospital to pick up Caedmon and Jenny. They all got a chance to hold Caedmon while we waited to be discharged from the hospital, which is always a long wait. At first Cian said he didn’t want to hold Caedmon, but once he saw his siblings holding they baby, he thought it would be a good idea. (Click on the pictures below to see a larger photo.) |
