Thanks for Glasses

I never thought I would be thankful that my son had to wear glasses. Then an accident happens that would have been way worse if it wasn't for those glasses.

It's amazing how life works.  So my prayers tonight will include a thank you for protecting my son's eyesight.

Isaac's lesson for the weekend...sticks and swings do not mix.

Big Girl

Times have changed in the LaBauve's house! No more booster seat for Ivy! Sad and happy moment all rolled into one!

Attacked!

Izaac discovered the painful reality that is associated with some plants.  Isaac was outside playing when I heard him crying.  By the time he got to the back door he was frantic!
I actually thought he got attached by wasps so I went to investigate. ..ended up pushing a weed out of the way looking for a "nest" when I discovered what really got him (and then me) it was stinging nettle. Ouch! My pain lasted for over 6 hours,  finally got it to settle down with benadryl...or maybe it just knocked me out;-)

We decided to pick strawberries this Saturday.  Weather forecast was supposed to be good but it ended up raining.  We waited until the heaviest of the rain past...and we got lucky. Started raining again as soon as we got back to the van.
If you want fresh strawberries, Froberg's in Alvin was great!

Easter

Trying to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time is just not going to happen.

Fishing

Just a quick picture of Papa and Izaac getting ready to fish.

Winter

Haven't had much going on so I thought I would update with a random picture from this winter. We love having a chance to have a fire in the fireplace, and as you can tell it is loved by many members of the family. This moment actually started out with just Isabelle in front of the fire, then the kids realized she had a good idea.
