Mommy did it :)!

Tori's blog is now here :)!!! I just figured out the last tiny detail (how come even things I have done before take my forever to figure out? I was just taking off "posted by Bri" from the footer... :)...), and now I think her blog is up and ready to be used :)! I just have to show her how to upload pictures while I post some on some of her old posts that I didn't do right on Homeschoolblogger :P, and the work on Tori's blog should be finish! But you can enjoy it now :)...

A picture and an update from last night's news...

 Just chillin'

(This was before the hair cut... haha :). I know he is fairly good at growing hair, but not that good ;).)

Now, as to Tori's blog, we may be importing it to Blogger. Maybe, maybe not. It may be quicker to copy and paste all her posts then to import them. Haha...
We left her blog "importing" all night. And it still isn't done. Sigh...
It looks like everything is going fine... until ten hours later when it is still "writing blog posts"! I shall try my best to move it :)... It may take a few weeks... months.... years... though :). Or, maybe, since I have stated the truth about the ridiculous time we're having, it will now work all of the sudden for some reason... it has happened before... twice, actually...

Get ready, get set, Tori's blog is going...

...to move to Blogger :).
I'm not positive this will be permanent, but, at least for now, I think it will cut down on a whole lot of confusion, and with that in mind, you may see her more often in the future, too :).
Since she is using the HomeschoolBlogger site, and I am using Blogger, I have problems helping her with uploading pictures/videos, finding gadgets, etc. Plus, you can't customize the background on that site, which is something she really wants, and Blogger has the fish gadget- another win for her ;).
It's not that HomeschoolBlogger is bad. It has served her good use :). But, for less trouble, it would be best if we were both using the same site so that we know where to find everything :). It will end up being on my account, at least for a few months, as we have tried to set her up her own Blogger account before, and it gave us it's own little fit of issues about adding her on, but she'll keep her old blog up, so that she is able to comment in her name, so that there won't be any confusion that way :).
I just wanted to give you all a heads up on why she won't be posting where you usually find her anymore :)...

Can you see the difference?

It is harder to tell in pictures than in person... But here is "Peter's" new accomplishment (maybe I should just say milestone...)
This is how much hair he had before...

...his haircut last Saturday. Kind of sad... but I love how his cheeks now look so much squishier :)...

And here he is afterwards :). Isn't he cute :)?...

This one is a before picture, but I just have to show you how hard he is working (just look at the tongue ;)!) at learning to stand by himself :). Precious little boy, handsome just like Daddy :)...

Our current team mascot... :)

(Pay good attention to his hair, even if that means you need to click on it and blow it up, or "nothing in the post to follow will seem miraculous". Haha :)...)

The rose didn't know if it's petals should face in or out...

...so, although she thought it was in, just to be safe, she told one to face out...
(Yes, that would be Abbi's rose...)

Little things...

We are enjoying our time with Daddy so much :)! It seems like it had been forever since we had last seen him... that has been the hardest part about this transition!
Tori has some new posts up on her blog... a post that we have been talking about for months, haha! Has anyone been interested in seeing what Tori's "claymation" and "video" are? Well, go check it out in this post! Finally! And enjoy her other posts since you have last checked up on her blog, while you are there, too :).
Oh, and watch for a post with pictures of a certain little boy's newest accomplishment... (does it count as his, though, if someone else did it for him? Hmm...)!
I'm going to go now and do some study in Romans, but I'll leave you with our hymn of the week, and the knowledge that this hymn by Charles Wesley originally had seventeen verses :)...

O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace!

My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim,
To spread thro’ all the earth abroad the honors of Thy name.

Jesus! the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease,
‘Tis music in the sinners’ ears; ‘tis life, and health, and peace.

He breaks the power of canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood availed for me.

He speaks, and listening to His voice, new life the dead receive;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice; the humble poor believe.

Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb, your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savior come; and leap, ye lame, for joy.

I saw this on our shelf the other day...

"February 32? Where have our lives gone?"
...which is why we usually don't have a clue what day it is ;).

"If I can not have a bookshelf in the living room, I shall find some other way to make a book display", thinks Emmi...

"Take a picture of me like this!" she begged...
