6. Now there you go making me all blubbery! My goodness, that was the sweetest little video, the sweetest little song, and the sweetest little babies you’ve got there!

   I think I better go pull myself together. My six year old is staring at me.

8. What a lovely family!. By the way I am very jealous. I want to make one of those video. (can you see the pouty lip??)

   Thank you for sharing. The letters were so very sweet and a nice touch.

12. Gorgeous, Amy. Each of you.

    I’ll be back to watch it again later today when I get back home from a spelling bee.

13. That is beautiful Amy. Congrats again and again. She is so cute!

    I see someone was not so thrilled with your name choice. hehe

14. Thanks for making me cry like a baby. But not as cute as your baby, just all drippy and snotty.

15. Amy~

    I’ve been enjoying your blog for sometime now as a lurker….forgive me, but I didn’t know how to make comments on it!!!!! I decided to try today, and here I am!

    Your family is beautiful, gorgeous, and blessed to have a mama who embraces God’s will for her life, though sometimes it isn’t the easy choice. Isn’t it the most blessed choice though? I say this with total assurance and confidence, as I too have 6 children (1 boy who is almost 13, the rest are girls!!!), with #7 on the way this summer.

    Oh, and chocolate ice cream doesn’t sound like the best thing to me, I’m lactose intolerant but still happy and very satistfied!!! lol!

    Thanks for the great posts. If you want to visit me, I blog over at homeschoolblogger/stillgrowing. Please visit me in your ’spare’ time.

17. What a lovely video, Amy! The song was so beautiful, also. Children are such delights.

    Comment by Christine (January 9, 2008 @ 1:37 pm )

18. Loved the pictures! Beautiful! Kelly’s music was a great backdrop…I’ll have to get one of her cd’s!

    Hugs,

19. Well, you certainly made this pregnant lady cry (what doesn’t make me cry these days?).
    Elisabeth is absolutely beautiful. All of your kids are just blessings and I loved the photos with Mom and Dad.
    I also recognized the Lands End dress one of your daughters was wearing (the blue striped one); one of my girls has the same one.
    In His Grace,
    Kelly

20. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us! That is one of the sweetest things I have ever seen

21. What a precious bunch of children you have! Congratulations on your newest arrival. May God bless you as you seek to raise all six of your children for His glory and the furtherance of His kingdom! I sure hope God sees fit to allow me to be a mother one day!

22. Thanks for sharing your beautiful video, enjoyed the song too.
    I am the mother of 11 children, but your family takes me back 12 years ago when I had my 6th child. I know first hand the struggles that you experience. Keep your eyes fixed on eternity, and savor encouraging words from others. Don’t ever be decieved by the god of leisure. God has called us to serve Him, not ourselves. Meditate on all of God’s wonderful promises to those that love and serve Him.
    May God continue to richly bless you and your family.

23. Must admit I don’t love the music, Amy (too “sweet” for me), but the images are gold. What’s the thing about one of your kids wishing the baby were . . . Lydia? Did I get that wrong?

    I love the shot of Charles at one end of the sofa, looking rather warily across the row of dolls to the living doll at the end . . . !

    Comment by Mrs. P. (January 9, 2008 @ 3:07 pm )

24. Thanks for sharing this Amy. What a wonderful family! I love how your children are helping you stay organized. Don’t those labels make you smile? My computer-generated labels can’t even compare!

    Comment by Dene (January 9, 2008 @ 3:16 pm )

25. Thanks for sharing such great photos and notes from the big siblings…they’re so sweet. McGregor and his “I wish she were Lydia” was too funny…I can’t imagine where he gets his sarcasm/humor. =) I’m glad you have some helpers for this time around of 3, 3 and under!

26. Beautiful baby, beautiful family. Thanks for sharing!

    Comment by Kristina (January 9, 2008 @ 4:01 pm )

27. I love seeing pictures of the older (and still so young!) siblings with the new baby. So sweet.

    Comment by Emily (January 9, 2008 @ 5:12 pm )

28. Very precious! God is so good!

    Comment by Roberta (January 9, 2008 @ 6:57 pm )

29. Wow. That was fabulous Thank you for sharing your life with us!

    Comment by sherry (January 9, 2008 @ 7:16 pm )

30. Thanks for sharing that! I love the sweet photo of your son on the couch with all of the baby dolls, some fake, one real.

    Comment by Marian (January 9, 2008 @ 7:34 pm )

31. Ok, weepy again! Would you stop…I look kinda crazy in front of my computer! :O)

    Comment by mel (January 9, 2008 @ 8:06 pm )

32. Do ya’ll remember our girl naming criteria? All the kids wanted to call her Lydia. Our oldest two were quite disappointed with our name choice.

    I know first hand the struggles that you experience. Keep your eyes fixed on eternity, and savor encouraging words from others. Don’t ever be decieved by the god of leisure.

    Thanks for those words, Diane. They are sweet pictures but the work is very hard. It is easy to envy a lighter workload.

    I want to make one of those videos.

    It is incredibly easy. I used Windows Movie Maker or whatever the thing is that comes already installed on Windows Vista.

    Comment by Amy Scott (January 9, 2008 @ 9:37 pm )

33. Amy,
    That was so beautiful!
    I loved it.
    You are blessed, friend!!!!
    Elisabeth is lovely as are all your sweet children.

    Comment by Andrea (January 9, 2008 @ 9:37 pm )

34. Oh I LOVED LOVED LOVED it! I laughed out loud at several of the photos where she was wailing her sweet little head off.
    Thank you for sharing this Amy, it makes me even more excited to have just found out we’re expecting #8.

    Comment by Kerrie (January 9, 2008 @ 10:49 pm )

35. Beautiful! What a great celebration of the Lord’s blessings!
    With that in mind, guess what was handed to my husband this evening -at church, nonetheless, by a male aquaintance? It was a business card for a urologist!
    (We are currently expecting baby #5) It saddens my heart to see how children are viewed today, even by those who love the Lord.
    You are an encouragement!

    Comment by Rebekah (January 9, 2008 @ 11:02 pm )

36. Thanks for sharing !!

    Comment by Tammy (January 10, 2008 @ 8:40 am )

37. Awwwww, loved it! My husband made a slide show when our last baby (12th) was born and it still makes me cry to watch it. And I, too, know all the work and sacrifice that goes into those beautiful happy pictures. Ya gotta keep your eyes on the Lord, not on others’ seemingly easier lives, and that’s a lesson I’m learning anew these days. Blessings to you and your beautiful family!

    Comment by Charlotte (January 10, 2008 @ 9:15 am )

38. What a precious, beautiful video! Your children are gifts from Him! I cried through the whole thing. With little Esther being born (our #6) November 12th, I saw my little blessings in your sweet children’s faces. (Don’t know if that make sense; I too just feel so blessed!)God is so good! Thank you for sharing.

39. Ah Amy, lovely kids. Thank the Lord

40. Won-a-ful, won-a-ful….(spoken like the late Lawrence Welk)
    :o)
    Blessed beyond measure, you are!
    The wee one was born on my double-nickels-b-day!

    Love her name.

    Comment by Dawn (January 10, 2008 @ 2:39 pm )

41. Wiping tears away! That was beautiful! And I loved the song too.
    The 3yo in my “3 and under” is about to turn 4! Does that mean it’s time to work on the next one?

    Comment by Jennifer (January 10, 2008 @ 2:48 pm )

42. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family. What an amazing blessing…I am all choked up!

    Comment by Stephanie (January 10, 2008 @ 3:44 pm )

43. This is truly touching. I’d like to share it on my blog, just as a beautiful expression of the gift that children are. Thank you for sharing…

    Comment by Stephanie (January 10, 2008 @ 5:09 pm )

44. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this.

48. Are those your own children singing? I loved the music. Your baby is so cute! In the pictures it looked like you kept your kids wearing good clothes. Take care!

49. I started playing the video and my 5 year old daughter ran over to watch. We love looking at new babies. Praise God for babies. I had 5.
