Alex surprised us this evening!

I know my blogging habits are terrible.  It's been almost a year, yet again, since I've posted.  Alex will be 5 in less than a week, Anna is 3 1/2, Natalie is 21 months, and baby #4 should arrive in approximately 2 months!  Life doesn't slow down here in the Enns' home.  We're busy enjoying: running our own business, going to different parks in the area, riding bikes (Anna rides now), Bible study just picked up again for the fall, MOPS just started, homeschooling, play-dates, and much, much more.

Tonight we made our weekly run to Costco, and after, as we sat in the van waiting for our gas to fill up, Alex said something like, "That Stop Sign has an "S" and a "T" and an "O" and a "P"!  We praised him, and then I asked him to sound out the letters to see what it says... and... he read the word "stop"!!  Nate and I were both so proud of our Big Alex:).  He really wasn't interested in learning his letters until recently, but now that he's interested, he's learning so fast!

Heart Melting Event Of The Day!

I was reading Alex this fun little story from his coloring book, and got to the second to last page which read, "You are sweeter than any present ever placed beneath a tree, you may be small, but beat them al...l, you mean the world to me!" Then the last page says, "Draw a picture of the person that "means the world to you"...

Me: Alex, who is your favorite person?

Alex: (pause) God!

Me: I was gonna say the same thing! But what does God look like?

Alex: Um, I don't know?

Me: Well, we could draw baby Jesus?

Alex: Oh Yeah! Jesus is God!

Alex: Mom, we need to draw a big cross too, 'cause Jesus died on the cross.

Me: Yes, you're right, when Jesus grew up he died on the cross.

Alex: (once we had a big empty cross) Now we need a big Jesus.

Me: OK

Alex: (once we had a big Jesus- with a beard per Alex's request) But now we need Jesus on the cross.
Me: Well, since Jesus rose from the dead, how 'bout we leave the cross empty?

Alex: But I want Jesus on the cross first:)...

We are a Family of FIVE!

For those of you who use to read our blog faithfully... I'm sorry it has been so long since I've written! I'm hoping to make this a regular thing again! I have much to catch up on, but for now, the most important news I need to share is.......

We are a family of FIVE! Just in time for Christmas, Natalie Joy Enns was born on Tuesday, December 21st, 2010. She was 8 lbs 1oz and she entered our world healthy. She is truly a joy. She is 6 months now (I can hardly believe that!) and: rolling, smiling, laughing, eating rice cereal (going to try squash tomorrow), has 2 teeth, says "badada", has eyes for Daddy, loves big brother and sister, sleeps 12 hours at night, and is very happy and content most of the time. We thank God for the wonderful blessing she is.
