Verse For the Week: 2 Corinthians 5:7

Summer and Snow

Oh my goodness! We have a bunch of cousins now, could anything be more fun?! Here's Summer and Snow in matching outfits. I'm sure they will have plenty of "twin" moments in their future. Isn't it amazing how much a baby grows in five months?

Thunder

Look at this sweet boy. Or maybe I should say look at this mischievous boy. Or this inquisitive boy. Or this loving boy. Thunder has had a great summer at Grammy's Summer Camp. He's been a huge help with the little cousins. He's always at my elbow when it's time to feed Snow saying "can I feed her, Grammy?" He's quick to help Storm wash his hands, or put on his shoes, or to play cars with him.

Thanks for making my summer so fun, Thunder!

Official Five Month Photo

Snow is the happiest baby I've ever known. She always has a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. She "talks" constantly and is very active. When she's on her back she plants her feet on the floor and scoots around on her bottom. I'm sure as soon as she figures out how to sit she'll immediately move on to crawl!

Verse For the Week: Romans 8:28

Introducing Summer

My nephew and his wife, Matt and Shelby welcomed their first child into the family yesterday! Summer (her blog name, not her real name) was born yesterday afternoon. She was a surprise in more ways than one. She arrived about 2 1/2 weeks early and literally everyone in the family thought she would be a boy.

The cousins are thrilled to have another cousin to play with and I'm overjoyed to be a Great-Aunt finally!

We love you Summer!!

And Then There Were Six...

JD and Janel emailed us some of their Disneyland photos on Saturday. And there in the middle was the above photo. I was on the phone with JD as I was looking at them and I told him thanks. 

He said, "did you look at all of them?"

Me: "Yeah"

JD: "Did you notice the special one?"

Me: (frantically looking through them again) "Do you mean this one with 1st visit button on Janel? I wondered about that because I know she's been there before..."

Then realization struck and and I hollered for Dan to come in and we both were in tears of joy.

Baby Koons is due in late January of 2017 and we couldn't be more excited!

What a cute way of letting us know. Even though I was too obtuse to get it the first time through...
