ATTACK of the dreaded Swine flu!!!

After a VERY LONG 10 days ofeveryone besids myself, (as of yet), getting thedreaded Swine Flu, the by are back in school, Anthony is back at work, Kori Jo is back to herself again, and I m one TIRED Mama from all the disinfecting, cleaning, and being "Nurse Kristin"!

I am very greatful that God has spared me, (so far), so that I could have all my strength to take care of my family, ankep up with the cleaning, etc. I felt like I was running a small clinic, but thankful all the same.

Kori Jo is TWO!!! I can hardly believe it! She had a very blessed birthday, and we thank everyone who has been a part, not only of her birtday, but in her life as well.

A bit of good news I would like to share: I had applied fo the position of th freelance photographer for the Sugar Land Magazine down here, and it had almost been a month since I had heard from anyone, and I was about to believe that it just wasn't meant to be, and making my peace with that fact, when I got an email from the editor telling me Congratulations! and that I was chosen to be the new freelance photographer for the Sugar Land Magazine, and that she will contact me soon for my new assignments! My pictures will be in the next issue! I am so excited and nervous at the same time, and awed by the way God keeps on giving in my new adventure! I pray that I can give glory to God with these new gifts!

Below are a few pictures from this month. To view a few pictures of Korins birthday, click the link below:

birthday!

Right: Our Pumpkin! The boys didn't think it was scary enough, so they wanted to put a smaller pumpkin inside for the big one to eat!

We made "bat masks" when they were sick with the flu. This is Cline with Korin. Caleb actually had made a bat mask at school on the same day!

Korin's new Apron!

I made Kori Jo a new Apron for her brithday to play "house" and "kitchen" with last night. Below are a couple photos! I can hardly believe she is almost 2 years old. It was only yesterday I was holding her little 5 lb. 15 oz. body in my arms, with her big eyes looking at her new world. She is now a vibrant, outspoken, adamant little Toddler. She is girlie and sweet, but knows how to take care of herself around the her big brothers, and likes to hold bugs in her hand! She always asks for "coffee cup" in the mornings, and I always give in and let her have my last sips.

If you're in the area, stop by for her birthday party!
