Update in Numbers (#6)

1- The number of times Israel has now had hives. He had an allergic reaction to something last week. I have never even seen hives before, so I had no idea what it was! Thanks to Abigail and Emily (my fellow students who are nurses!) for helping me know what was going on with him!

2:00 AM (or later)-The average time Aaron goes to bed MANY nights because he stays up doing homework. It has been a very, very busy semester.

3- The number of children we have who love their pacifiers. I am a pacifier proponent. They keep Ivy from sucking her thumb, Israel quiet in church (sometimes!), and Abel asleep all night. I'll take it!

4- The number of sheets of stickers Ivy put on her pants during coloring time one day last week. She loves her stickers!

5- The number of times this sweet boy eats per day.

6-The number of teeth Israel has gotten in the past month. It's been a little rough, but I'm so glad we're getting them all over with at once!

75-The number of men who come to hear Aaron and some other guys from our school teach the Word at the prison each Thursday night. It is an awesome ministry that Aaron is priveleged to be a part of.

(His teaching notes from last week)

8- The number of people we fit around our tiny table last week when we watched Nathan and Rachel's kiddos.

9:00 AM- The time my friend and neighbor Rachel came over last Saturday morning to take some pictures of our kids. I asked her if she would just take a few snapshots of them for our Christmas card. She ended up taking over 250 pictures of them in about 25 minutes! And she did such an incredible job. I really, really love the pictures she took! (I'll post more later, after our Christmas cards are out.) :)

10- The rating Aaron gets on a scale from one to ten for how AMAZING of a husband he is. He is so great with our kids, he cleans, he does dishes, he encourages me in my Christian walk, he is so extremely patient with all of us, he treats me way better than I deserve, and he occasionally brings me Starbucks drinks or surprises me with Starbucks cards, "just because." He is awesome. I love him.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week, everyone!
