Baby girl names?

Please help us name baby bean, we are stumped.  We usually can name the children in minutes, we've lost our skill.

Prayer Answered

I had requested prayer the other day as i was struggling with being anxious about finding someone to care for Aggie while I took the other children to our home-school co-op.  Today was our first co-op meeting for orientation. And God has provided abundantly for our little Aggie.  I have a good friend at our church who is from Bulgaria.  Her mother has come to the US to visit her and her sister through December.  She is a sweet older christian woman who speaks English moderately well. I have to choose my words wisely, but we are able to communicate.  She reads English well. As you can see where this is going. Mrs. Tanya didn't have much to occupy her through the week as the girls are both young working women.  She does not drive, but God has provided transportation opportunities to work out perfectly as well. Every Monday morning Aggie has physical therapy in Pensacola, 50 min. away from our home.  Mrs. Tanya lives in Pensacola, so I pick her up after therapy, she comes and stays the night with us and is here for Tuesday morning when I take the children to co-op.  Then Tuesday afternoon I take Aggie to speech and occupational therapy in Pace, about 30 min. from our home toward Pensacola, Mrs. Tanya's daughter comes and picks her up. Brilliant!! God has been so good to us!! I asked Mrs. Tanya today if she thought our arrangement would work well for her since it was our first round of it, I didn't want it to be to tiresome for her, and her reply was so sweet. "I love being with your family and your children are so sweet." The only potential problem we may have is that Mrs. Tanya wants to hold Aggie too much, when Aggie just wants to play on the floor.  I think it may be a cultural difference, as cleanliness of floors in Bulgaria may be a little different than in our home. Though some days that is debatable. :)

Ultrasound Photo Shoot

These were some of our favorite pictures of our newest little girl.  They were so generous we have about 10 of them.

 Foot Obviously 

 Her hands were very active, she kept pointing at us.  It must have been that americano I shared with Mike on the way.

Her sweet profile. 

It's a Girl!!

We found out yesterday that baby #4 is a girl!
Everyone was betting boy.  Goes to show what everyone knows :). Except Shiloh that is, she held fast on girl.  Hosea switched to girl 2 days prior to the reveal, a 6th sense maybe?  Little Schloss girls are so sweet, so I am thankful to welcome another, my little man is pretty great too though, just saying.

I am currently in the middle of my 20th week.  All the baby's measurements appeared to be right on target.  Good news.  Given my most recent maternal past they will do another ultrasound in 6 weeks to keep a close eye on things.

Babysitter

Friends,
I want to request your prayers for me.  I signed the older children up for a home-school group called Classical Conversations, which I am really excited about, but I feel like I really need to find someone to care for Aggie for one week a morning while I go b/c she still needs a nap, and I need to be able to participate the children's class.  This has been such a struggle for me, as i feel like the Lord often wants me to relinquish control and have faith that He will provide in these circumstances.  So please pray that we will find someone we can trust to care for our sweet little girl.  It has been a cause for a  struggle in me becoming anxious.  I continue to cry out to my God who hears, but would find great comfort knowing others where with me.

Belated Birthday Party

I took the kids to the track tonight to exercise. I paid them $.25 per lap on bike and $.50 per lap on foot.  I lost $4 in all. I think I will change it to $.25 per lap across the board.  My only regret is that we did not think of this idea and incentive sooner.  Any way, at the track they have these little cone cups and a jug of water, which the kids love.  They requested to take the cups home for bath time, I obviously said yes. While in the tub I went to grab some towels quickly and came back to this scene. It's only a month late. I think the party theme is princess.
Note: do not allow your children to take paper cups in the tub, they do shred and become mushy rapidly into a mess.

I love it when they play together!

Peek-a boo!

 Then there were two.

 Three little monkey's playing in the tent.

We were organizing clothing bins, I walked by this not realizing my empty bin was now occupied. 

 The war is on. 

The armor includes towel capes, ninja outfit, storage bin helmet, pink bag, foam swords, and bouncing ball shields. 

I was thinking of posting the bin picture afterwards and declaring her the looser, but I think it may have taken place a different day, and I believe Hosea was actually placed in the bin first, then Shiloh wanted a turn?   What happens when I'm not paying attention?  I'll probably find out in a decade or so. 

It still makes me laugh.
