Picnic!

Tonight we had a little picnic out by the Botany Pond Park. Christian played with the soccer ball, Patrick and I threw the football, and then we took Christian to the pond to see the ducks!



Ducks!


He loves his daddy!


He really knows how to relax- :) Check out that sprawled foot.

8th Monthary! (Buptism!)

I finally got around to taking Christian's 8 month pictures. He no longer sits peacefully on the chair peacefully and let mama take pictures.



He tried to climb up the chair and lunged over to the keyboard...

What a handful!:D



These are simply going to have to suffice has Christian's 8 Month pictures- He's found a new toy! Thankfully, Patrick just cleaned the bathroom!




He's so stinking cute!! That smile gets him out of too much trouble!

Cousins!

We had Josh, Lisa, and Mallory over a few days ago. Christian let Mallory play in his exersaucer. He stood next to her and helped her get the flower to chew on. It was so cute!!

He is such a nice boy! What a terrific big brother he'll make some day.

He's a boy!

Oh man. So our 'baby' is starting to act like a little kid more and more each day.

Somehow this little tyke got ahold of a pen...and of course, drew on himself. Yes, after seeing my nephews, I know that this is NOTHING compared to what is yet to come..but still..I thought 7 1/2 months was a little early to get started! :)

I tried to get a closer picture, but Christian was having too much fun playing Grab-the -Camera. It's a bit hard to see but there's marks on his tummy and his face. It was much more apparent in real life. :)

Blessings overflow

As we are trying to catch up on our blog, there was an incident recently of which we must give thanks. About a week ago, I went to head out the door early in the morning. Out on our door step were several bags of groceries. Many canned items, cereal, boxes, and a large (huge) zuchinni. We are SO grateful to whomever the perpetrator(s) is/are! If you happen to read this, please know that we are so appreciative to your thoughtfulness and generosity.

Patrick and I are often caught in awe of the Lord's mindfulness of us. We're just a simple little family and yet he knows us- he knows our needs, he knows our wants. Small as we may be I have gained a newfound testimony that we are important to him.

Thank you, Thank you.

Flower Power

I inherited some artificial flowers from my aunt and Christian LOVES them. They used to be in a big bag by our bed and whenever he was on our bed, he'd crawl right over to the edge and play with the pretty flowers. We moved the bag and to behind our bedroom door. I would often go to find Christian and there he is, just happily playing with his flowers. He's a manly man, but he sure enjoys beauty when he sees it. One day soon he'll be picking flowers for his mama. :D Im excited. :)

He's so happy!


Melt your heart!!

Splish, Splash He was Takin' a Bath...
