Hair and Tags...

We have discovered one of Victoria's quirks! She likes to hold my hair or tags while she sucks her thumb. She has a doll with two hairs (yes, only two) that are curly. We wondered if she would notice them...and she did!

It's a little hard to tell in the picture, but she is holding one of the hairs in her fingers of the hand she is sucking her thumb with.

Gluten-Free Find!

Since Colin has a sensitivity to gluten, coupled with his overwhelming desire to eat, I am always looking for tasty ways to give him snacks without adding to his issue. Gluten-free foods tend to be very expensive for the few ounces you get, so it can be a challenge. Lately, more and more products are being created for the GF world. This was my latest find! These tasty, crispy chip/crackers are made from sweet potatoes and corn. They were yummy and not too bad for the price.

Fork! I Need Thee Not!

How do you eat your linguine and crab with cream sauce?

Notice he's holding the fork, but not using it!

Colin's Birthday Continued...

Uncles John and Mike couldn't be with us at the party, so they gave Colin a present later. It was a microscope! Colin really thought it was neat and has already looked at "lovely" things in it (i.e. blood & guts). Jason proceeded to pull out some of my hair and looked at it in the scope. There were extra bumpy things on it that I am going to hope are not bugs!

They also gave him a 3-D storybook. Who do you think looks best in the cool glasses?

Photo Shoot

Every year we have photos taken of our ever-changing son (and now children). My, how they grow!

Colin's Birthday Party!

Little Lady

She laughs (when she's in the mood). She's a girl and can't be expected to be jolly all of the time!
Jason did this-not me! A good one to show her betrothed!

Such a little lady!

Happy Birthday Colin!!!

You are a joy to us! You are always ready to smile and laugh. You have a sensitve heart and a love for your family. You have a wonderful imagination! We are praying God will fulfill His good will through you!

Ever Had One of Those Days?

I have them a lot! There is a reason I don't use china.

Our Fox

This is our fox that lives in the woods next to us!

Victoria loves her new toy!!

Christmas Day

John & Jenny

We are so thankful the Lord humbled Himself and became a man. We are especially thankful for His death on the cross that can be taken as a free gift from a gracious God! "For whosover shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13
