Official Nine Month Photos

Yes, I am very late in posting Storm's nine month photos. He'll be 10 months old next week! This boy is growing. He loves to be on his feet reaching for everything. He says "hi", "bye" clearly and we can recognize his sounds for "doggie" and "bottle". He signs "all done" with glee! His favorite playmate is his cousin, Thunder. They have a blast together with Storm laughing at the silly actions and sound Thunder makes for his entertainment.

As you can see, this month's photo was full of action. First Storm wanted to sit by the monkey, then he wanted to steal his nose, finally he consented to lay by the monkey, but as you can see by his left foot, he's fixing to make a getaway!

Four!

Skye turned four years old earlier this month. Where does the time go? She had a great birthday party with a jump house and her cousins. Of course the theme was "Frozen". (I wonder just how much money Disney has made from this film?!)

She was so sweet while opening her gifts. Each gift was received with a huge smile, a sincere declaration of "I LOVE it!", followed by a heartfelt "thank you". What a precious little girl!

Yes, this is me inside the jump house. I had never been in one before, and I doubt I'll ever go in one again! I felt a little discombobulated in there...

Gramps gave it a try, too!

Success!

Let's Catch Up...

I sound like a broken record and if you're not living my life you probably think my excuse is weak, I'm so behind on blogging because I rarely get a chance on the computer! Sounds odd, I know. My husband's business is so busy that he is working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. I only have access to the computer when he's out doing appraisals. Once he's home, he hogs commandeers slaves at the computer for hours writing the reports. Since he's only gone for a few hours in the morning and I have grandkids three out of five days a week, I don't have time to blog.

I know. Boo hoo, Too bad for me. Right? Haha, like I said, it's not a good excuse, but it's the truth.

So, even though I've managed to post my SSMT verses every two weeks. That's about all I've done. I probably don't have any readers left...

Anyway, today's post is a catch up post. We've been having lots of fun at our house (when we can unchain Dan from the computer).

Here's some photos taken recently that show what we've been doing.

Evidently when Thunder finishes lunch, he shares the leftovers with Clifford!

SSMT #6

In the chaos that we are living in these days, I chose this verse as a promise...

The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
     the righteous run to it and are safe.
Proverbs 18:10

SSMT #5

I came across this verse recently and decided it would be a good one for me to memorize:

"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
John 4:24 NIV
