Connor's Visit Part 1

You've seen the video of our Sunday evening with Connor - my parents came down for pizza and playing, and these three had a ball. 





Connor usually comes to our house around holidays, and that doesn't afford too much playing time. His requests on Sunday night before bed were "vaccuming" and "playing downstairs".  Easy peasy! That's what we did on Monday...









Monday night we had dinner and then went to my parents church to play.  Connor got a little over-heated that night, so Tuesday we made sure he kept cool: 

The next popular request was "go to the dancing library"....which means, he wanted to go to a class at our library.  He didn't dance....

but he did have fun at the train table!


Wednesday morning we went to church for my Bible Study, and then later in the evening, Connor was reunited with his Mom!! :) 

We've been talking about doing this since the spring, and Wednesday night it happened: Going to see Mrs. J.'s horse.  We didn't know how it would go, but we kept telling the kids that the horse was "as big as the van" :) 

Chloe and me meeting Strough (not the one we rode)


April meeting Tex (the one we rode)

So, we were brave! Everyone rode the horse!!




and, then everyone rode BY THEMSELVES. The parents couldn't believe it :)  Neither could the kids :)





Also, there were chickens.  Who liked to eat clover.  And little children who don't care how hot it is and run around like crazy ;)


Connor's Visit Part 2 (including birthdays!) coming soon!!

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. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. 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...

April Hope

Praise God! We are thrilled to announce the birth of April Hope, born this morning at 4:42 a.m. and weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We think she is beautiful! Both April and Alison are doing great. Here are just a few of many pictures taken on her first day. More to come...

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 ...
