Progress

Well, still no crawling, but Addie spends every moment she can standing and walking holding onto furniture. This is a shot of her trying to pull herself up, but she hasn't figured it out yet.





She can, however, circle the coffee table, transition from one object to the next (ottoman to chair, back to ottoman, to coffee table), and bend over to pick up a toy, then come back up. Maybe she really will skip crawling! What an individual! 

Hi! Whatcha Doin'?

 

Can I Help You?

Or, a more accurate caption (for those who know Timmy):
PET ME, PAY ATTENTION TO ME.

 

What A Weekend!

Not only did our modem die on the day before Labor Day weekend, but so did our AC! The repairmen couldn’t come until Tuesday and it was a very hot weekend! (110 one day). A big thanks to God and our friend Erica, who had a window AC unit we could borrow for Addie’s Room. We kept the house dark and the fans running. We will never take AC for granted again!

We are glad to report that in all aspects we are back up and running again. Hooray! 

Labor Day at the Beach- Pt. 1

A great way to escape the heat of the valley on Labor Day- we escaped to Ventura!

Addie got the sand in her toes and we helped her experience the waves. She liked it- but it was cold!


Addie gets a lesson about shadows.

As you can see, she is walking with parental assistance. In fact, that’s all she wants to do now! 

Labor Day at the Beach- Pt. 2

Here are a few more shots of us with our friends the Bruyninckx family (yes, that is their last name- it’s pronounced Broo-nix). Ron, Joan, Ben, Ellie, and Joan’s sister Liz were great company.

Ellie out-cuted Addie with these fabulous heart-shaped sunglasses. What a little starlet!

Ben showed us how to play in the sand (make dad do all the work and you just play).



 

Grant's Birthday Pt. 2

A few more shots of the festivities.

Danny Lee shows off new baby Jack.
(for those of you who knew Krista Koster before she became Krista Lee, this is her Star Wars lovin' husband and cute new son. Jack's bib says "who's your daddy?")

Chocolate cake- good for all!

 

Grant Kropf Turns 1!

We can’t believe he is a year old already! We all had a great time celebrating our good friends and neighbors (the Kropf's) son’s first birthday.

The birthday boy shows us how to chill out.




Greg tried to feed Addie away from distractions, but she didn’t want to miss out on the action.

Jim Davis points out the to Micah Scroggins why things kept falling from above. A squirrel in the tree thought it was fun to use us all for target practice.

Isn’t the birthday boy supposed to blow out the candles?

Back in Action!

Hardware issues resolved, we will begin a steady stream of photographic updates for your consumption.

Thank you for your patience,
