Lately . . .

It's official- she can sit on her own.

In a ten minute bath she only slipped once. YAY!!!

 And as hard as I tried- she would NOT look at me.

She was having to much fun with her new found freedom in the tub.

 

And I am seeing a major pattern here.

Seriously more often than not she falls asleep in her chair.

 

Her big brother quickly woke her back up when he saw she did not finish her cracker.

He insisted she needed to finish her cracker before her nap.

Yes she was asleep but she kept a death grip on that cracker and would not let it go.

 

We have some visitors at our house.

These four little piggies are visiting for the week until the local 4H club can take them.

Cute and tiny but they squeal like a sqeaky toy and stink to high heaven.

But the kids like to watch them run around.

School starts this week

Guess who can sit up?

 Last week she needed this pillow.

This week she can do it on her own- for about ten seconds.

But she's getting better everyday!

Jason got new school clothes- 3 shirts and a new swim suit.

Sticking with tradition we had him model for us.

Jamie helped Jason pick out what to wear first then came running down the hall.

"Boys and Gentlemen! Daddy's getting clothes on. YAY!"

(What he was supposed to say: Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls!

Presenting Daddy in his new clothes!)

 And then Jamie was feeling left out so he got into his swimsuit as well.

We didn't have the heart to tell him he had his boxers on instead of his swimsuit.

Then they posed . . .

Super cute Guys! Have fun in school Jason. We love you.

Sleepy

I am sensing a pattern here . . .

We have all our picture of Christ hanging above our kitchen table. Yesterday Jamie looked up and gave Jason a running commentary on what Jesus was doing in each picture. All of a sudden Jamie got really excited and climbed up on the table to point this picture out to Daddy.

This is a picture of Jesus with Jamie! Jesus is going for a walk with Jamie and holding his hand. Jamie was so excited that he has a picture of Jesus with Jamie.

When I first saw this picture, Jamie was just a baby but the boy reminded me of Jamie.

Now three years later, the boy in the picture could definitely be Jamie.

Since then, he has shown everybody his picture with Jesus. Love you Jamie- you rock!

The picture is titled Take my Hand by Greg Olsen. It's one of my favorites.
