April Hope's Baptism

April was baptized on Sunday and it was a family affair! It was great to have family members here to support us as parents and April as she grows up. We pray that she soon realizes her need for Jesus!

Here are some pictures (I'll share pictures of her in her dress soon...after I take them today!) We had lunch after church.....Chloe couldn't wait to eat some cake.....notice the p and e in "Hope"??....


We used the opportunity to take some "Generations" pictures with April:





This little girl has 3 great-grandmas!

This is the Aunts pictures - Aunt Chelle and Great Aunt Nancy:

We were having to pull April's fist out of her mouth while taking pictures....Michelle and I decided to pose like April for the sister's picture:




You may be wondering what Chloe was doing while we were taking pictures.....Here's a few shots to help you guess: :)




Only one person didn't make it in any of the pictures above....and he's the person who April felt the most cozy with :) Tom!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth.

In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
