Five Months

Hard to believe our rolling, spinning, raspberry lovin', silly, billy of a boy is five months old. He has brought so many blessings to our lives.

With his smiles, he has managed to wrap his big sister so tight around his little finger I'm surprised it's still attached. I'm wrapped pretty tight myself :).

Running man.

Spitting, lots of spitting goes on at our house, these days.

Starting to look like a little man.

I finally got up the courage to give him his first haircut.

After

We broke out the jumpy horse.

He will NEVER be alone.

I love these days with my little family. Cherishing these times.

Growing, Growing, Growing

 My sweet little Bean is three months old today. By the time I was able to take his picture he was pretty tired but I took it anyway.

And for comparison. . .

Two Months

Camping Nehalem Bay, Beach Party, & An Anniversary

Not a lot of time for chatting but here are a few pictures from our first and last camping trip of the season.

So thankful for the van this camping trip. Served as our pantry and seating while the rain poured down until K&K arrived with their canopy.

Kids love the rain and apparently Ballerina still thinks it's summer. I can't get her to give up the shorts, so I stealthily stowed them after the last washing.

Getting in some guy time with J.

And in came the waves. We missed the wave that caught everyone unawares. They had been sitting under the canopies.

I tried to tell him he is too young to drive, but he insisted on trying.

These two have been married for 60 years.

So blessed to have them as my grandparents

Busted holding hands.

Over the Past Month

 We have been a little busy around here. 

Morning of July 30th

Afternoon July 30th

So many answered prayers with this little man. No need for resuscitation, that was the biggest one. 

Latest shot of the Vancouver chapter of the B. cousins.

Only 11 days apart.

The jury is still out on his eye color. Some days it's blue, some days it's brown. Still have a few months before it will be settled. Somewhere between 3 and 6 months is when the eye color is decided, at least that's what I hear.

First day of Kindergarten

Touchdown!

I love the idea of taking a similar picture each month for the first year. But I need some help figuring out which background to go with. I might just do all of them each month. I was too lazy to search out the blocks to spell out month so I just went with the number.

I think this one is going to be my favorite. You'll see why as he grows and once he can sit up and show you just what he is sitting in. :)

Just a little update on our lives lately.
