Standing Tall

Eli thinks he is a much bigger boy than he really is...or a bigger boy than his mommy is ready for him to be! He's crawling everywhere- both on his hands and knees and army crawling- we'll leave the room for a minute and when we come back, he's in a totally different area of the room! he's also pulling up on things and getting himself stuck in places! And he does it all with that beautiful smile!

Playmates

Something I pray about for the kids is that they will have a good relationship with each other all the days of their lives...that they won't just love each other because they're family, but that they'll like each other and enjoy spending time with each other. Here are a few snapshots of them playing together...now, don't be misled- they do not always play well together; whatever Trinity leaves on the floor, Eli is army-crawling as fast as he can towards it before Trinity snatches it up again...but, they have their moments of friendship and sharing!!

"Mmmm, those look good." "Well, books are better when there's a snack to go with them."

Grandma & Me...

Grandma stopped by to play one evening and Trinity convinced her to swing...they had such a good time swinging! If Trinity had had her way, they would have stayed on the swing all evening long! How she adores Grandma Margaret!

If you build it, they will come...

Since the day Aaron found out we were having Trinity, he had dreams of building a playhouse and he started saving money here and there. A couple of weeks ago, he started building that dream...a playhouse fit for a princess and prince (and any future siblings). It's not finished yet, but it's getting closer! We've had many people stop by and ask if Aaron's building a 'man-cave' or a doghouse...nope, a big, beautiful playhouse! A few parents have expressed their frustration with him...their kids want one now! We told them to just come on over and play! We'll keep adding pictures as more and more gets finished on it.

Thank, Mimi & Papa!!

Thanks, Mimi & Papa for coming out to play with us! We had such a great time with you! We love you!

Trinity's Adventures...

Here is Miss Trinity and snapshots of her life as a 2- year old!

She put her milk cup in her boot to drink from. Some may call it odd, I call it creative!

No one brushes hair like Papa...and she wouldn't let anyone else brush her hair! They have quite the bond between them!
Reading a book before bedtime...clapping like seals!

Trinity convinced cousin Beau to go play in the sand pile with her...it didn't take much twisting of his arm, just a sweet little, "come on" and a tug on his finger.

Out and About with Elijah Ray

Here are pics of just Eli doing what he loves to do at 7 months...swing, smile, and take baths!

Daddy & Eli sharing a secret...hmm, what do boys tell each other?!
