Lily is 8 Months Old!!




Lily is eight months old, and I really can not believe it. She still hasn't walked yet, but it is only a matter of days. She is standing on her own without support. She is saying mama and dada now! YAY!! She is eating everything I give her so not complaints there. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Ryne works on a new career...

We had our play rehearsals on Monday night, and on the way home Ryne decided to video the gang in the back seat. They were singing a song by The Killers. Watch the ending Thomas just made me laugh!

Thank All That Is Good For Spring!

I am so ready for spring. The weather is getting so nice, and I barely use the air conditioner or heater right now. I am going to try and take some pics of all the pretty birds that have been hanging around the last few weeks. They love my big yard, and I really enjoy watching them. The kids have been outside everyday playing. It is so nice, and the house is so quiet when they are out. They built a playhouse under the grapevine, and spend alot of time hanging out there.

That said the kids are doing pretty good. We are having some major bedtime problems. They are getting older, and honestly tired of sleeping in the same room. All of a sudden everyone is driving everyone else nuts. The only thing I can think of is to work extra hard and hurry the process up of buying a new house.

Not much else to report right now. I will post soon....

Sorry It's Been So Long...

Hello everyone! I am so sorry that this post is so late. I have been getting over one of the worst colds ever. I believe that I can say with great confidence that everyone is finally well in our house. It has been one heck of a cold season, and I for one am ready for some really warm weather. I love living here when it is hot. I love the hot weather!
The kids are getting ready for their next play. We had auditions last night. I forgot my camera, but I will make sure I take it next week for the second part. We will be doing Chicken Little in the children's theater. I wrote the script, and I think it came out pretty good. I am trying to find some placed to incorporate some music into it. I think we will have a great production. The kids just love doing it, and they really are making some great friends. It is a really nice social outlet for them.
The kids finished up the unit study on the Civil War and the Underground Railroad. They really enjoyed it. They did a good job, and I am even more convinced now that unit study for the most part is a great way to go. We are working on animal adaptation and evolution right now. They loved the books we read, and now we will start the research part. I will take some pictures when they give their oral reports and post them.
Lily is going strong, and is now 7 months. I can not believe that she is that old. We started signing to her the last few weeks. She just loves it when you sign. She gets all excited and smiles really big. I think she will pick this up pretty quick.
Well, that will do it for now. I will try and post some more next week. I promise:)
