Cabbage Patch Kids

I never had a Cabbage Patch Doll. My girls each have one. And, my are they well dressed.

Joyce has 5 outfits and Helen has 16.

Spring in Bancroft

We visited my parents yesterday and after a hard morning rain the sun came out and the kids were able to play outside. My dad built the wooden train the kids are playing on. Thanks Dad!

Boxes boxes everywhere...

Time to box things up. Our family will be moving again. This will be the first move for our youngest child (who will be 6 months old March 30th) and the 6th for our oldest (who is 7 years old).
My husband has given his notice and starts a new civil engineering job in Plainfield, IN on April 9th.
He will be staying with his sister who lives in Indy until we get a place and move - probably at the end of April.
We are excited about the possibilities of life in the Indianapolis area. We have family and friend there. We are also sad to leave our family and friends here in Michigan.

Sick Kids

The kids have had colds for the last month. Today our 5 year old was complaining of ear pain so I took the four kids to the doctor and then to Meijer for free antibiotics. The girls and the baby are sleeping now - yea!. And, I'm trying to recover from a long weekend in Indianapolis.
We visited my sister-in-law who lives in Indy. She watched the three older kids on Saturday night, Sunday afternoon and evening and Monday morning - early afternoon so that my husband and I could visit with some friends. We had a good visit and continue to consider a possible move to the Indianapolis area.
I was going to post a couple pictures from our visit to the Indianapolis Children's Museum but, I can't get them off the camera right now so that will have to wait. The kids had a good time with their aunt even though the weren't feeling very good.
