Maria Chapman

Today is the one year anniversary of Maria Chapman going home to be with Jesus. If you have never hurt the conversation that her father, Steven Curtis Chapman, had with Dr. James Dobson, you should. Here is the link that will take you to that site. It will allow you to download it or just listen to it. I would encourage you to do it. It is wonderful and sad to hear from him and how his family is going forward. The link below should take you directly to the interview.
Focus on the Family
Here is an interview that the family did on Good Morning America.

Pulling Teeth
We have recently gotten the girls on Idaho Medicaid. At this time, it is the only way we could get them insurance. I know there are many of you who understand.
Anyway, dental is one thing offered with their plan. We decided that it would be good to get them in and just see how their teeth are, especially since the younger two had never been to the dentist.
Bailee got told she needed braces. That is not possible at this time, but it is something we are praying about. Makayla got told she has wonderful teeth, but will probably need a few pulled as she begins to lose teeth.
Sammy go told we need to pull teeth now.
On Thursday last week, Sam and I made a trip to Pullman to get two teeth pulled. The first picture is a before picture at the door of the dentist's office. Initially, she was excited because she thought the tooth fairy would bring her double. But as we were standing at the door, I could tell she was very nervous.

She did tell him that it hurt when he poked her with the needle, but she did not flinch or anything. Then when he came back after about five minutes with this huge pair of tweezers, I did not know if I was going to make it. It took him less than three minutes to pull both teeth out. He just grabbed a hold, twisted, and pulled. I am so thankful that I have never had to have teeth pulled.
I would have never thought she could have gone through with it without crying. She was so brave. It just shows that even our children have hidden depths we have not seen. Sammy is cry baby. Everything hurts in mass portion and she is usually dying if she gets hurt. She showed me that there was more to her than I had seen yet.

More Mother's Day

Mother's Day
The ducks, it turned out, had been fed enough for the day and they were not interested with what we were offering. This disappointed the girls, but they decided they wanted to put their feet in the river, which is what you see here.

Sorry
I am sorry it has been over a week. I have to admit I just needed a break. Life had gotten busy and I just needed a breather.
Things are coming to a close in our lives. School will be over by the end of the month for us, which I am highly anticipating. Sam and Makayla will be done this week and Bailee hopefully the following. She has been procrastinating about some of her stuff and we will have to see if she is done on time.
Baby Luken will be arriving in a few weeks, but before he comes my sister will have her second girl. In fact, today is her due date. She has been to the doctor twice and been dilated to a 3. She was very frustrated the second time she went in and nothing had changed. I am going to call her today and see how things are going.
I also have a good friend who is due on Saturday and another who has the same due date as myself. It has been fun to have these women going through the same thing as I am and was. We are all impatiently awaiting our new arrivals.
Please pray for me. I live about 15 minutes out of town and my husband works in town. We need God to time this thing so that he can be home when I go into labor. I am believing for a swift delivery. I was only in labor for 4 hours with our youngest.
So that is a general updated at this time, I will have more posts with some pictures of other things that have happened in our lives over the last few weeks.

River City Dance Recital
For those of you who know us well, we are a dance family. The beginning of May always means dance recital time for us. I am actually the bookkeeper for River City Dance and that means we are all very involved with the end of the year production.
Here is a picture of our Samantha. She was a flower this year. I had one oops on picture day. I did not make sure that Sammy got her picture taken alone. So this is a picture I took on the day of the recital rehearsal.







Thank you everyone who joined us this year. Thank you, Ange, for the great pictures.
