Projects

Ok, so Adelle has been almost crawling. I have been itching for a project or two. If you put those two things together here is what you come up with:



Dresses get in the way of baby's knees when crawling, so I came up with something frilly that doesn't slow down the crawling. Very frilly. (here is just a quick shot of her and her almost real crawling-ness before the other project pics.)




Ruffles and frills here at our house. We love it!

Caleb: Doin' mom?

Caleb got a hold of the camera a few times lately. He took a picture of Daddy:

A picture of mommy:

A picture of Adelle:

A picture of himself:

And the very reluctant dragon??:

anyway, apart from practicing his photography talent he has also been working hard at being a wonderful brother! He brings Adelle toys and blankets when she is sad. He shares with her (he will even share his special leelee blanket). He helps feed her. He reminds everyone to sshhhh when she is sleeping. He also does this:

I love that!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Devin is now one year older and wiser! We had a special family day today to celebrate his birthday. Naturally we began with birthday presents! Caleb issued the traditional bonk on the head with each gift. (And with the first gift he promptly opened daddy's present for him...Ah well daddy was a good sport about it.)

and with this gift Caleb bonked his own head too. Silly Caleb.

For our mid-day activity we went out to put good use to daddy's new stuff (in case you couldn't tell it was bullets and a gun case). Oh how Caleb loved shooting. He didn't love wearing the ear plug things so much. Devin enjoyed going out shooting. (Refer to earlier post for more about this.) I even shot some. Me. Shooting. And Adelle cooperatively slept in the car the whole time. What a good girl! (I was worried about how we would keep her ears covered. I needn't have bothered.)

We finished off the day at Big Judd's, a local all American hamburger restaurant. Some of our good friends came as well as Devin's mom, Trent, and Janice. We go to Big Judd's for Devin's birthday every year.

I love you Devin. Happy Birthday.
