Off to Connecticut

We said "see ya later" to grandma this past Saturday. She moved to Connecticut to an assisted living right around the corner from Aunt Gabby's office. We all agreed that it was time, as her memory was worsening. What a blessing she has been to all of us! God has truly blessed our family with her love and servants heart. We pray mercy and grace upon her now and a smooth transition. She'll be 97 in February!!!

Day 177

So, here we are! We've almost finished the landscaping. We had the irrigation, trees and sod all installed and I've been planting all the perennials and shrubs. I have LOVED it! Mom has helped a ton by keeping the kiddos while I've been digging holes. The weather has been perfect and I've had great fun doing it. The roofers will finish this week, along with the guys installing the fire sprinkler system. Next step insulation and dry wall!

Still working on selling our current home. Come on Congress, do what you gotta do to sell our home :-) Hee hee! God is sovereign! What a relief!

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my
salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
Psalm 62:5-6

World, Here I Come!

The first day of Kindergarten was a success for little A. She had a great day beginning with swim lessons and ending with an outing to the park. She loves to read and make up motions for her memory verses. She is soaring like a champ!

Global Warming?

Daddy and I made a day trip to Denver yesterday to furniture shop for the new house. We had a great time, just the two of us, ending the evening with a movie. We got home super duper late, but enjoyed our date.

I took this pick around 9:30am as we were headed up to the Eisenhower Tunnel. All the snow was gone by 10:00pm as we were headed home, but it was a fun little teaser. Actually, the weather here is great, hanging around 75 degrees all day. Its definitely feeling a little like Fall, but we know more heat is on its way....or at least we hope so, for the girls have another two weeks left of swim lessons.

Happy Sunday!

Up 500 Feet

What a blessed day we had! We drove to Frisco, parked at the Marina, and road our bikes to Breckenridge, had lunch on the banks of the Blue River and road back. Daddy J pulled B and A in the Chariot and I had little J on my bike with me. I huffed and puffed, but finally made it up 500 feet. Coming down was a blast and took us half the time. The pics are of our pic nic by the river. How is it that throwing rocks in a river can be so much fun? Life is good!

Jo

The Usual Saturday

All begins watching Saturday morning cartoons...while A wears Hanfu directly from China and J sports the snow skiing suit, directly from China (via Wal-Mart) and topped off with the car racing helmet :-) And all ends with a bath followed with shaving newly grown beards.

Day 116

More of J's party

Opening presents was fast and furious. Little J could hardly keep up with the other kiddos opening them for her. And A, well she was quick to "take the money and run."















We did get our first pet! A fish, Strawberry Shortcake. I'm just glad that I don't have to potty train it!

1 - 2 - 3

B is finally walking! We are so excited! It just makes life so much easier!



A has lost two teeth now!













And J turned 3! Yippee!

Loose Tooth!

So, little A was so excited to have her first loose tooth this past Friday and not only but 15 hours later have it fall out. The tooth fairy brought her a whole dollar bill! She couldn't believe her eyes! The one right next to it is just about out and her two front teeth are starting to wiggle. I guess it was so exhilarating that she just pooped out on the living room floor later that afternoon. We can't ever get her to nap anymore, but when you need one, you really need one.

B is gaining a few new ones every month. He has two teeth on the bottom and four on the top. Growing like a champ!

J is sprouting up. As a nearly 3 year old she is enjoying her week at VBS with A..."like a big girl."
