Photo Dump and Nathan is 7 months old!

So, the last 3 months have been crazy.  Matt has worked long hours, spent a month in Houston, and someone has been sick in this house since the week before Thanksgiving.  I am happy to say that everyone seems well.  Matt has been home for a week.  We celebrated his birthday a little late since he was in Houston.  He turned 31!  My husband is getting old :-)!  My sister, Rachel, is now here for two months.  We are actually feeling human again.  

Nathan is 7 months old today.  There aren't many changes to report.  He still is a happy kid.  He still loves Joshua more than anyone.  He still doesn't sleep through the night.  I am only slightly sleep deprived.  I am quickly becoming his "only" as he has started refusing bottles from anyone but me and sometimes refusing to be rocked by anyone but me.  I appreciate the love but.....yeah.  He has had many firsts though over the last month.  


Nathan always sleeps in the car.  Joshua has fallen asleep maybe 4 times in his entire life.  This had to be documented.  


Nathan wasn't so sure about carrots at first.


Playing at the park together in Houston.


1st time on the swing!


1st time in the bath without his little baby seat.  He loves being free and loves to splash!


1st time in the high chair!





Joshua enjoyed Houston, but we are all happy to be back in our normal routine.  Joshua, Nathan, and our friend, Eliza enjoying library story time.  


This picture is blurry but Joshua had so much fun with his friend, Ethan over at the house flying Dusty.  


Joshua is very protective of our friend, Roxy.  He was keeping her safe as they looked at the bird.  


Family dance party in the living room.  Joshua learning how to slow dance.  


1st time in the shopping cart basket.  He was all smiles!



2nd time in the shopping cart but he got to ride next to his favorite person in the world!


Just a little self portrait.  Nathan loves technology so he was too busy trying to grab the ipad for me to get a great shot.  

Love my boys!

My Sunbeam


Today was the first Sunday of the year. This means that all of the children move into new classes. Joshua now moved from the children's nursery to an actual class, the Sunbeam class.  He was so excited and did such a great job.  Since I serve in the primary organization, I was able to get a firsthand look. It made me want to cry, smile, and celebrate all at the same time to see my biggest sitting on the front row intently focusing on everything he was asked to do.  I love this kid.  I can't imagine all the growth this year will bring.  



I held this guy while trying to do it all today but with smiles like this many people at church are more than willing to take a turn.
