7 months Old

Here I am exactly SEVEN months old! Life is so much fun!

A Day of Faces

What a Ham!!

Merry Christmas...in February??

Here I am playing in all the WONDERFUL paper!! well, I guess I am paused for a moment while Stella checks to see if I have any teeth yet...hmmm NOPE.



Here are my cousins Naomi and Elena thoroughly enjoying the late-night gift mania!




Here is everyone who came to the 3rd annual "Bowling Extravaganza" It was lots of fun. The smiles are very large in this picture because daddy had turned the camera timer on and then ran to get into the picture. ...while running he decided to jump over a full size chair and wound up tripping and flying(yes flying) flat on his face much to the suprise amusement of everyone in the pic...somehow he still scrambled to make it into the photo though. Most of us are still laughing at his "athletic display."

You're still my hero Daddy!

First Christmas Present

My eyes lit up as I began unwrapping my very first christmas present EVER!!! I loved the paper the best. But once I saw the toy inside I thought it was pretty cool to play with too.

I sat right next to Mama Robin and played with my new stacker! Some of the pieces made lots of noise, that was the best!

Favorite Time of Day

Everyday when daddy come's home we play

games. This one is my favorite! I go from just

haning out with mommy to flying in the sky! it
makes me laugh and giggle so much! Check out

what does Cadence mean?

...sigh, finally a chance to write this up. over the course of the last month Brad and I began to feel a pressing on our hearts from the Lord that it was maybe time to have me quit working for the chiropractic office. Yes i was working from home and everything seemed to be working out well, but each week at staff meetings I was sensing more and more a need to leave. hmmm...the Lord definately works in a timely manner, at the same time we were sensing the need to leave I had an offer from a midwife to work as her office manager. This is a very part-time position 2x a week and I can bring Annalise with me! She desperately needed someone to do paperwork, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and insurance collecting. Perfect job for me! I have 2 years of experience with this at a very high-volume level having worked at the chiropractic office. Anyway, so this past Monday I resigned from the chiropractic office as an employee, patient, and friend. Sounds pretty all-inclusive you say? yes, it was. It had to be. The Lord is showing us through various conversations, reflections and prayer that there is a dark battle raging in that office and it was time for us to get out. I have a strong sense that He is choosing to protect my family from something. ... and He has very clearly provided all we need in my new job: family atmosphere, a profession I can work for and believe in, god-fearing people to work around and under. We are grateful!! There is so much more that could be written, but I am keeping this short so you all can get the jist and ask questions in person if you like.
