Grace Jumping

Recently I got a bigger pool for our ball pit. The old one was a hard plastic pool that had seen better days. This one is inflatable and has higher sides. I have found balls on Craigslist and our neighbor found some at a yard sale. So now there is a good amount of balls for jumping AND sliding!

Grace gets her First AWANA Patches

Last week at AWANA Grace got her Hopper patch and fist Luv E Lamb patch. We went to see her get the awards. She was VERY excited.




















Grace is doing great at AWANA. At first it was a struggle to get her to learn her verses. But now she gets frustrated if I try to help her. Though her favorite time is still game time!!!!

DJ and Food

DJ LOVES eating big people food. I can sometimes still get a puree into him, but he would rather eat REAL food.


Trying plain spaghetti. He loved it. Guess it's those Italian genes!
















Trying pot roast, carrots, potatoes and peaches. He loved it. Guess it's those German and Irish genes!

Mama and DJ

DJ woke up from his nap the other day before we had finished school. He sat on my lap "helping." While the kids worked, I tried to get a picture of us. But DJ was being stubborn and would not smile. I tried to tickle him and he smiled, but also looked away from the camera. Oh well, he's still as cute as a button!!!!!

My Little Cub-E Bear

Grace started AWANA Cubbies this year. She loves it and it doing great. The late nights, make for a lazy Thursday, but I enjoy the snuggling!
