Improvisation

I often hear beautiful sounds coming from the basement music studio and sometimes am lucky enough to sneak down to record!!

She loves to make up songs!

Caleb's Birthday

This little guy turned 6 on September 23rd!

Caleb is SO full of life and energy and we love him so much! He is all boy! He loves to pretend fight, make everything into a weapon, ride really fast on his bike, climb and jump on everything, show off for everyone who will pay attention and torment his siblings. : ) He has such a huge heart and is very sensitive behind that "all boy" facade. He does really well with home school and loves Sunday school and Awana. We can't wait to see God's plans for this little guy.

 Caleb loves to do building projects with his dad!

Reading his Bible reader.

First lost tooth! (which he knocked out running along a rock ledge!)

He loves his sisters!!



And brother too of course!

8 months!!!!

Oh my goodness Clara is 8 months old!!!
Some of the things she's been up to....

*Crawling! (started at 7 months)

(And yes- we all use pretty ridiculous voices when talking to Clara!!)

*Eating lots (sweet potatoes, squash, cheerios, bananas, broccoli, spinach, pear, tomatoes.)

*Tummy sleeping....

*Looking cute.....

*Checking out her newly decorated nursery....

*Fun in the bath....

*Making kitchen messes with mommy....

*And croup, which included an overnight hospital stay... : (  Poor baby!

Clara is 17 pounds and growing by the day.  We all love Clara to pieces and feel so blessed to have this little cutie in our family!!
