Play Time

Havah got some new toys this week. A jumparoo and a few fun things for the floor. She LOVES the jumparoo, but not as much as she loves to play on the floor with her dad.

I Know I Know

  You're jealous. I can understand. Not everyone gets to have a sister-in-law like mine. Thanks Dawn!

A Real Friend

 

Zeb is such a good friend. Secretly I think he favors Judah. I found Zeb laying on Judah's bed earlier today. If she leaves a sweater out he will lay on it. The other day I found one of her toys in his kennel. It hadn't been chewed - just snuggled.

The New Bath Seat

Bath time is Havah's favorite time of the day. She has been trying to sit up while in the tub for the past week. I keep trying to make her be a little baby, but she keeps trying to get big.

What could be better than bath time? Bath time with big sisters!

Caroline and Luke

My dear friend Caroline and her husband Scott are in Salt Lake City awaiting the birth of their new little boy. This past weekend I was so thankful that I got to attend their fundraiser. I saw so many people that I hadn't seen in years. I can't believe how much everyone has changed and how much their kids have grown up!

Hurry up Luke! We can't wait for you to be born!

*Note the cup of pink goodness in my hand. That would be Black Rasberry Chip Ice Cream.

More of Ethan

He's just SO wonderful!

Havah has something to say...

Little Baby Ethan

I got to squeeze this little bundle of joy yesterday. I can't wait to see him again tomorrow! He is absolutely wonderful. Congratulations Jeannie on an truly delightful baby boy.

I haven't seen a photo like this in a long time. This is mom my mom, her sisters and brothers and my Grandma. The strange the location. :)

What a fun family!

Did I Tell You?

Sean shaved his head and now has a mohawk. I have more pictures, but they are on the server and I can't seem to get to it right now. Locks of Love LOVES Sean Henry!






Jason came to visit! Havah LOVES Jason.



Auntie Chrisi isn't working as much. We are ALL loving that!



Our friends the Winters came to visit. They came with their dog Saddie. Can you guess who Saddie is?

1.5 MILLION DOLLARS FOR ADOPTIONS!!!

Copied from the blog of Tracie Loux:

1.5 MILLION DOLLARS FOR ADOPTIONS!!!

American Express is giving away a 2.5 million dollar gift to different organizations who are doing charitable work, and who also get enough nominations to qualify to be chosen for this project. (1.5 MIL will be given to the top nomination and an additional 1 MIL will be split between three other worthy organizations). We need 700 more votes to help qualify a very important organization called Reece's Rainbow. They are doing a tremendous job of helping orphaned Down Syndrome children through their adoption agency. This is the agency that where Derek and Renee are adopting Misha. If Reeces Rainbow were to win this gift, this would enable them to adopt out almost all of the waiting DS children with full grants!

You DO NOT have to own an American Express card to vote. Just sign in as a guest and remember to vote for Reece's Rainbow.
It will only take 1 to 2 minutes of your time and your vote could make it possible for an orphan to be placed in a forever family. Thanks so much for considering this wonderful opportunity to make a difference in the life of an orphan.

Please log on to THIS SITE to vote!

Shopping for Interns

Havah looks a little concerned, but really she was having the time of her life being packed in with a bunch of groceries. We left with three full pallets and three full carts. We had to go back the next day to get more. We will have to go back tomorrow...and the next day too.

Be There or Be Square

Well...if you can't be then you can give...



My dear friends are working on bringing home their little one. It is going to be one great party!! I can't wait to celebrate with them!!

Has it really been three weeks?

We are in Washington DC for another week. We've been in the area for one week already. The first few days were spent in Annapolis with our new wonderful friends. Now we're staying in Capital Hill making more food than I've ever seen in my entire life! The Henry's and Gram are making food for the Awakening Teen Interns, TheCall Staff, and the onething inters. Yikes... that's a lot of people.

I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

Okay, so maybe I've gone a little overboard with the pictures, but if you had this baby you'd be doing some machine gun photography too!

Havah is Helpful

Havah helped Sean water the lawn the other day. She's taking after her Grampa aready.



A few nights ago we went to our friends the Gerards. Havah and Shekinah met for the first time. They are definately BFF.

Havah's Exhausted

Havah is exhausted. She had a big weekend with the Grandparents.

A funny face

Side Projects

Here are the things I've been working on other than baby stuff..

Cards from cut up paint samples



One of my favorite things is post cards. I never know what to do with them. I got the idea the other day to sew them together. I don't think you can tell in this picture, but they are zig zag stitched together to make a post card quilt. Post cards are my love language.

My Hands!

Havah used to be afraid of her hands. We would have to often bundle her just to hide them from her. Whenever she would get excited they would fly past her face. Scarry! What are those things?

In the past two days she's decided they are alright. She likes to hold them together (which she's done for a long time actually) and has discovered that they taste good.





Sean, Havah and I have been taking morning walks. Havah loves that we have bumpy roads and cracked sidewalks.
