For Sale Again

After taking a short break during the holidays, we have our house on the market again. We feel very strongly about our plans for the future and want to move forward in them. In order to do that the first thing that HAS to happen is to sell our house. We have been fasting and praying about it, it seems, constantly. I know I have asked for help in it before but I want to ask again if our friends and family will include us in your fast this coming month. All things happen in God's time, but we want to know that we have done our part too. We have to give as much as we can as well. So it would mean a great deal to us if you would all remember us this next month. The Hatchers are doing well and growing up. Best wishes to all!

An update on the Family pictures

I just wanted to let the family know that I have not forgotten about the pictures we took during Christmas. I have had a tough time getting the film developed. It is hard taking all the kids into Sam's for five seconds to drop off the film. And the other stores I drop film off at have gone ALL digital. So not film developing anymore. Boo! Anyway, I am taking them tomorrow and getting the film developed at Sam's and should have the prints by next week. It's funny that it takes longer to get my kids out of the car and get in the store than it does just to drop the film off myself. And we got to Sam's almost every weekend but we haven't been at all since Christmas. Anyway, I am getting a CD so I will put them up as well, and if anyone wants some let me know!

What's going on with the Hatchers?

Well, all family visits are over for the Holidays. We loved visiting and being visited! Christmas day Danny's Dad, Uncle and Grandmother came to celebrate. It was good they could come. As the number of children goes up it is really hard to find a place for all of us at the holidays. Danny's mom came in on New Year's day and stayed til Sunday. The boys, of course, never want her to go. They never think she stays long enough. Even though she gets in lots of good time with them. They are funny!

Isaak, won't stop growing! It's crazy how tall he has gotten in the last month! We can no longer shop in the toddler section for him. Even shirts have to be bought from the boys section. His legs are so long but his waist is so small we are having to use belts. The pants even have those "built in belts" but to no use. We must use belts. He also moved up to a new Sunday school class this year. He really loved it!

Brett, is now three, and it came with a not so happy attitude! He is still our kind hearted, thoughtful little boy, but just watch out when you try to disagree with him! The beast takes over. He has had more time outs, and smacked bottoms than ever since he's been three! He's just finding his independence, while living with a family. I'm sure it's hard. Brett is no longer in nursery at Church. He is a sunbeam in a real Sunday school class. He was excited to get his own scriptures to take to class.

Jack, oh, Jack! He has decided that he wants to keep up with his brothers. He just turned 8 mos old a few days ago, and has already been crawling for a while now. But, he pulls up and walks down furniture now. And he started last night standing up and letting go on his own! I don't know if I am ready for an early walker, but ready or not he is determined! Jack also has 4 top teeth and three bottom teeth. In addition, he is cutting at least, three more. So sleep has been so, so for him.

Danny and I really enjoyed the holidays. We had his company party, family time and dates during the season. It was a little hard seeing him go back to work on Monday. But we will get back to life as we knew it. I have gotten back to the gym already and the boys get back to school on Wed. We have a lot planned for this new year! I hope and pray we achieve it all!
