 *UPDATE* -Make that FOUR times on the potty! What a quick learner! I'm so proud of him! Seeing how quickly he's caught on, makes me wish I would've tried to potty train him a while ago. :)
Just had to jot down a major milestone...Both boys took giant leaps today in the potty training journey. Judson went pee pee on the potty twice today! This was his first (and second) time ever! Beau also made it through a whole nap time wearing underwear and stayed DRY! This was actually my first day of really working with Judson. I've sat him on the potty before, but mostly just for the sake of getting him used to it. Today I let him wear big boy underwear and really encouraged him to make something "happen" on the potty! I know he'll probably catch on fast, so it's going to be up to me to make sure I'm faithful with working with him. I worked in Judson's nursery room the other night at church, and I was happy to see that none of the boys in his class are potty trained yet. At least we're not behind schedule!
The seasons are changing! Tim and I are enjoying the cost saving benefits of wood burning fireplaces. Some days, the weather is still fairly nice, then other days the temperature drops and I wonder how on earth I ever survived Minnesota winters! There is something about the sight and smell of a fire that makes me so anxious for Christmas! Is it time to decorate yet? I've been thinking about it, but so far all I've done is hang our Christmas wreath on the door. I'm afraid some people might think I've lost my mind trying to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving! I already have a reputation for rearranging and re-decorating just about on a weekly basis. My violin students tell me that they look forward to coming each week to see what changes I've made since the previous week. :) I can't help it, I love to be a "keeper of the home"! My mom and I were reminiscing the other day of how even when I was a little girl, I would push my bedroom furniture around and dig through closets to find a different comforter for my bed. I did that so often! A couple times I even got myself into trouble by dragging all my parents Christmas decor out of storage, and trying to decorate for Christmas around the middle of October. (sorry, mom!) See, they should've taken that as a sign and gotten me help while there was still hope! :) Being a stay at home mom definitely has it's benefits. Someday when the boys are older, I'm sure I'll have an actual money earning job, and I won't get to putz around the house wasting time deciding on paint colors and furniture placement anymore. On a different note.....the boys are CRAAAAZY! If I could bottle up their energy and sell it on ebay, I'd be a millionaire! Do they make kid sized treadmills? Maybe that would help wear off some energy and calm them down a bit! If they aren't screaming and hitting at each other, they are acting as one another's accomplice. Beau is the instigator. He gets Judson to do things that I know Jud couldn't think up by himself. I know all too quickly, these days will come to an end. I'll be old and gray, and wishing I could go back in time to relive some of these crazy yet beautiful days. I'm sure if given the opportunity to go back in time, I would also remind myself to do things a little more calmly and with a little more patience too. Well, it has taken me about an hour to write this journal entry. I've had a couple little boys interrupting my concentration and averting my attention. :) Well, I hope you don't mind me rambling on about day to day life. Feel free to skip over these random jumbled up thoughts and just take a look at the pictures. Miss and love you all! P.S - When I have a little more time, I'll have to jot down the boys' first experience at the library the other day. Let's just say it ended up with Beau getting a spanking as soon as we got back to our car!
Today has been all about change!! So much change for one day, and it all has to do with hair! Tim, Judson, and I all got haircuts! I'm not quite sure what came over me, but for some reason I decided to cut Jud's remaining curls off! Some would say it is a cut that was long overdue, however, it took me quite a while to come to this conclusion! I did love his pretty curls, but I think he looks adorable with his "big boy" haircut! I do hope I didn't rid him of his curls forever. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping they come back when it grows a little longer! Maybe this was so hard for me since I do not have a little girl who's hair I can play with. Judson was in essence, my little "girl". (hmmm....that kinda sounds weird) Anyways..... I also took the "plunge" and let a complete stranger chop 8 inches off my hair today! I'm really enjoying the new length so far. We'll see if I still feel the same way when I wake up in the morning! Oh, and yes, I am trying out a new color and seeing what it's like being a brunette! I do plan to get some highlights to blend in a couple lighter colors with it, but I think I'll wait a week or so before I do that. This morning, Heidi, Nicole, and I went to this fun hair place called Salon Azure. They give you hot tea, or coffee, while you wait in the lounge. Then, before you get started you get a nice little head and shoulder massage. What a nice little morning of pampering! Heidi also cut about 8 inches off her hair and added some bangs! She looks great! Last night, Tim and I had some friends over for a bonfire. We had such a great time and we all enjoyed having adult conversations without all the little kiddos around! I thought it was funny how we happened to have a bonfire on Halloween night. I hope our neighbors didn't think we were conducting a sayonce! (yeah, I have no idea how to spell that) I actually forgot that yesterday was Halloween until around 2:00 in the afternoon! I ran to the store and got some candy for the little neighbor kids. Well, I am REALLY starting to miss my Bubba! I'm ready for the craziness to start back up again once he comes home. I did enjoy my one on one time with Jud. This is probably horrible to say, but Tim and I both feel like we got to know Judson a little better without Beau around. I think Beau just has a way of taking up so much of our time and attention. Alright, I have rambled on about nothing for way too long now. Time to go to bed!
As of yesterday, our dear daddy and husband is now 29 years old! Tim informed us that this was his last birthday! (he's not too thrilled about turning 30 next year) We had a wonderful time with our friends Heath and Becca. They flew in from Wisconsin for their annual October trip to TN! It's always fun to see them and to get to spend some time with them. Thank you guys, for the great time! I didn't get very many pictures, but at least I got some! Beau is still livin' it up in PA with Gramee and Grampee! I think he might be coming home this Sunday- not sure yet. As long as he's enjoying himself up there, I'll be taking advantage of the unusually quiet and peaceful house! Judson has taken on the role of "Man of the House" since Beau's been away. I think he's enjoying all the extra attention and free reign of all the toys! I found some pictures of the roses that Tim got me for my birthday back in August. I forgot to put them on here, so I added a few. I love love love to take pictures of flowers! They're so captivating! Well, it's Tuesday, and normally I'd be half way through teaching violin lessons by now, but I had a few cancellations, so I'm using this free time to update the website! Aren't you proud of me!? Enjoy!
Beau is sooo excited to go to PA for a week to stay with Gramee and Grampee! We are getting up fairly early to leave and meet Grampee half way in West Virginia tomorrow morning! Grampee will take Beau the rest of the way to PA and he will stay with them for the week. As I was packing Beau's suitcase tonight, he told me that I should pack 3 spanking spoons! LOL! I hope he's not planning on being extra bad while he's away! :) Thank you to Gramee and Grampee for volunteering to take Beau for us while our friends, Heath and Becca, come to stay with us! We will have a lot more freedom to go out and do things with them if Beau is not here. Beau is always the life of the party wherever he goes, but along with that comes "high maintenance"! I cannot imagine life without our Beau. Often times, I think he is way more work than most of the other young children I know, but then again, he is probably way more fun too! His personality keeps Tim and I either laughing non-stop, or about to pull our hair out. Whether we're laughing or pulling hair, we're always on our toes with Beau around! Oh I love that little boy more than I could ever put into words! What about Judson you ask? Judson is a sweet bunch of pleasure and goodness! He is such a joy to have around. It's nothing out of the ordinary for him to come up to you and give you kisses and hugs. (always 2 hugs, to be exact!) For some reason, he doesn't like to just give you one. :) I pray that his tender little heart will always be just that- tender. I long for both my boys to grow up loving our God, and desiring to serve Him with their lives. God has created their different personalities for a purpose. Each of our sons could play a different but important role in the work of the Lord. Beau, most likely, will become a leader in some way or another. (I'm not suggesting that I think he's going to be president of the United States or anything) As for Judson, I'm not sure what he'll choose for an occupation, but I think he would make an excellent husband someday with his sweet soft heart. Only God knows their futures, but I pray that He will help me do my part in raising them and directing them in the right path. It is almost overwhelming at times, to think how important my role as their mother really is. The things that I teach them now (or not teach them) could ultimately determine their futures and whether they choose to live for the world, or for the Lord. If I don't instill Godly principles and values in their little minds and hearts while they're young, what would make them want or choose those things when they're older? Tim and I have a crucial role to play in their lives. I want so much for my children to look back, and think of their mommy and daddy as people who loved the Lord with their whole hearts. "Lord, please grant me wisdom and discernment in the way I raise our children. Give me courage and strength to be the example a mother should be. Help me turn their hearts toward You, Lord, while they're young, so that when they leave my care, they will continue in Your's." I don't know why my heart is so heavy tonight. Perhaps it is the upcoming election and the frightening way our country is headed. I believe it is harder now than it ever has been, for Christian parents to raise their children up in this world. I have been thinking about things like this so often lately. It is more clear to me now than ever before, how important it is to walk with the Lord, and to stay close to Him. All around us, the devil is doing his work. Marriages and families are falling apart left and right. Presidential candidates are calling "murder" a "woman's right", and someday, humans will probably have the "right" to marry their dog! And, by the way, since when has murder become anyone's right!? Sorry, this could lead to an exremely long topic that I probably shouldn't even get in to right now! Anyways, I have a huge mound of laundry to tackle before company arrives, so I guess it's not going to get done unless I get off the computer! :) Sending out lots of love and prayers for our dear friends and families tonight, Kels
Before you say or think anything.....I know I've been slacking on the updates! I take full responsibility for not keeping our long distance friends and family updated! I wanted to share our "car story" with you guys. We are blessed to know that the Lord is watching out for us and His hand is upon our lives. Lately, our beloved Saab, has been proving to be not so "trustworthy". Although it was extremely fun, fast, and sporty, we felt it was time to get rid of it, in the hopes of avoiding some serious repair expenses in the near future.(We found out that Saab's are not cheap to fix!) Thankfully, the car was still completely under warranty and we haven't had to spend any of our own money.......yet. With the warranty about to expire in the next 2,000 miles, Tim and I started praying every night together that the Lord would show us what to do, and point is in the right direction as far as looking for a different car. Tim started driving through car lots, and searching ebay and craigslist. He found a car that seemed to be "too good to be true" and everything we were looking for, the only problem was the "SOLD" sticker on the window! Disappointed, he continued his search. We thought we had our future car narrowed down to 2 options at another dealership. We carefully inspected them both, and decided on one of them to take home with us for the evening. Well, Tim didn't even get out of the car dealership parking lot, and the car died on him! (The poor salesman couldn't believe what had happened!) So, needless to say, we turned around and took option number 2 home that night. We drove it around, took it to dinner, and the next morning Tim planned to go in and "talk numbers". Well, when Tim got there the next morning, the salesman realized he had made a huge mistake. The price he had quoted us, was on a completely different car. He had typed in the wrong vin number in their computer system. The car we had taken home, turned out to be quite a bit more expensive. So, we took that as a sign, and decided to "pull the plug" on that deal. After learning what had happened at the dealership, I decided to call on the car that we were first drawn to. (the one at a different dealership that was "SOLD") The salesman informed me that the deal had just fallen through because of the other couple's financing, and the car had just become available again! (Can we say, "answer to prayer!?") I have no doubt that the Lord arranged all that to hold it for us. He also arranged for the completely reliable car to mysteriously "die" in the parking lot, and for the salesman to type in the wrong vin number on the other car. People might say that these little things were just coincidences, but Tim and I believe in the power of prayer and the mighty hand of God. So, we have said goodbye to our "totally fun-but-completely unreliable" Saab, and hello to our new "hopefully last forever- and- have no problems" Acura! Other than that, we have not been up to a whole lot! I'll try to take some new pics of the boys so you can see Judson's new haircut! Yes, I actually cut his hair more than I ever have before. It's still curly so I'm happy. I think we're going to make our usual Saturday trip to Dollywood once the boys wake up from their naps. Love and kisses to you all!
We are back online! We originally decided to cancel internet and cable due to our sky high monthly bill. We were just starting to go through withdrawls, when we got a call from our service provider. He was able to cut $100 off of our bill each month. With a deal like that, we couldn't resist! I will say though, that it was a little more peaceful in the house without the tv or computer on. Maybe from now on, we'll be a little more cautious about how much time is spent (wasted) in front of both.

Where oh where do I begin!?? Well, let's start off by saying we truly had a wonderful time seeing and spending time with my parents this past week! They flew in for a visit, and we enjoyed seeing their sweet faces and hearing their comforting and familiar voices! I suppose it doesn't matter how old I get, I will always love being around mom and dad! Some of the highlights from our time spent together were...... Shopping with mom Getting side by side pedicures complete with magazines, massage chairs, and our drinks of choice Waking up and drinking coffee together Watching mom, cook for us, clean for us, and do all our laundry! (Thanks Mom!) Now, some of the "lowlights" were........ Getting a flat tire on the way home from the airport. (Yep, we had barely said "hello", when dad had to fix a flat on the interstate) Watching dad have to take mom to the ER for what was quite possibly the worst case of poison ivy ever! Wowee Wowee, what a week! Along with mom, Tim, Beau, and I also got the dreaded poison ivy. Although, the 3 of us didn't get it near as bad as poor Mom! Unfortunately, we didn't get to share our pool with Mom and Dad due to some very green water. We are working on getting it cleared up one last time to enjoy a few last swimming days before fall sets in. Can you believe I hardly took 1 single picture the whole 9 days that they were here!?? If you said yes, then well, I don't blame you! :) Anyways, I actually brought it along with us when we went out for dinner one night, but of course it died on me right after taking the first picture! I guess I'll just have to cement all the images in my head so I don't forget them! Well, Mom has only been gone for a few hours and the house is already a mess! So, I guess I better resume my role and get cleaning! Love to you all! Oh, and I'm thinking of starting a blog instead of this website. I'll let you all know if and when I do so you can continue getting the updates! Ta Ta! Oh, and one more thing......My beautiful cousin Rebekah, her husband Grant, and their 3 children sought refuge in Austin, TX during Hurricane Ike. Their lovely home is in League City, right inbetween Galveston and Houston. They have gotten word that their home is ok for the most part. They will need a new roof and a new fence, but praise the Lord there was no flooding! Anyways, please keep them in your prayers as they have been "uprooted" for a while. We all know that there is "no place like home", so imagine what it's like not being able to be there! Love you Seeger's! We're praying for you and thinking of you!
What fun we have had! Last night, my dearest friends surprised me with a belated birthday outing! We went out for dinner, and then we piled in a car and went downtown Knoxville and had so much fun walking around, taking pictures, and laughing! Thanks girls, for the great night! Today, we had a photo shoot with our friend and photographer, Ryan Keiter. He did a great job! The boys loved him! He finished 5 pictures this evening, and we'll be getting the rest in a couple weeks. We met downtown and shot for a couple hours. The boys were troopers and were wonderful, but they got pretty tired, hungry, and thirsty by the end. But, I can't wait to see the rest of them!
Wow, it's been a while! Sorry I don't have many new pictures to share! Today was great.....long, but great! We normally head to Dollywood for the day on Saturdays, but since we went yesterday instead, we had the whole day to stay at home and get things done! I got up early (well, 7:30 is early for me) and went garage saling! That was fun. Although, I have to say, it's always a little akward walking up to somebody's yard sale and pretending you're interested in their unwanted junk, while 3 or 4 owners of the junk are watching you. Somehow I managed to escape about 4 sales without feeling too bad about not buying any of their "lovely" items! I did end up finding some nice dress pants for Tim and some really cool big dicast cars for the boys. After returning home with my "finds", I was delighted to find Tim making a delicious hot breakfast. We finished eating, and headed outside to do some yard work. The boys zoomed around on their bikes while Tim mowed the lawn, and I cleaned the basement/garage. I had the biggest urge to take everything in sight and either throw it away, or put it in my car and drop it off at the local thrift store! I can't stand clutter! I did load up a ton of stuff in a large tote and put it on the side of the road with a "free" sign. I also put an ad on craiglist stating that I had a bunch of free stuff and to come and take it. Sure enough, people started rolling by, and my mound of stuff was gone. I love craigslist! While I was down in the basement, I finally got to a task I've been putting off for months. Sorting through unused toys and outgrown clothing. Wow, I didn't realize what a big job the clothing part would be! I'm still not done. I can't even believe how many clothes these boys have worn and outgrown already! Some of the sweet little outfits almost brought tears to my eyes as I thought about the memories of them wearing those things. I will definitely keep some special things, but I'll have to part with the rest. I kept thinking...."Should I sell this?" "Should I give this away?" "Should I sort it out by months and sizes?" "If I do sell this, should I take the time to put it on ebay, or should I just put it on craigslist?" Wow! I barely made a dent in one of the huge totes, and decided to call it a day! I'll need to bring in reinforcements next time I take that project on! Well, the rest of the day was spent cleaning, drinking coffee, doing up every last bit of laundry, (if my washer was a person, it would have died of a heart attack),playing with the boys, and drinking more coffee. So....now that I've successfully posted every detail of our day....(sorry if all that was TMI), I'm going to crash in bed! Love you all! p.s We're getting company!!! Gramee and Grampee are coming the last weekend in August, and Grandma and Grandpa are coming the first weekend in September! The boys will be absolutely rotten by the time all our company is gone! That's ok, I'll take rotten boys if it means spending time with our long distance family!
Just a quick post to show you Tim's room! His friends were so much help in getting the floor tiled! Some crown molding and baseboards, and the room will be done! I had fun shopping for some "manly" accessories. And of course, any opportunity to go shopping is quickly taken! Love you all!
Tim is out with friends for "guy's night", so I thought I'd use some of this peaceful quiet time to update the site! It seems we have been really busy lately. Last week, we went to Dollywood 3 times! The boys love it, and Tim and I love seeing the joy it brings to the boys! I don't think there are many things that bring a parent more joy, than seeing your child/children with huge smiles on their faces and excitement in their eyes! We all know Tim has a "Man Room" down in the basement. Well, the past couple days, Tim and his buddies have been working on getting it finished and ready for the upcoming football season! It is looking great! It was wasted space that we have hardly stepped foot in since we moved in, but now it's turning into a nice room! Tim picked out the tile for his room, and I was so proud of the choice he made! It is all laid, and will be grouted (is that a word?) in the morning. I'll post pictures when it's done. My friend, Heidi, shared a website with me about a family who has recently lost a little girl. It is the most touching and heartwrenching blog I have ever read! Every time she posts, her stories bring tears to my eyes. The mother's name is Angie, and the story of her daughter, Audrey Caroline, has touched so many hearts and lives! Angie is one of the strongest and most faithful Christians I have ever known. Well, at least I feel like I know her from reading her blog. I encourage you all to check out her story and read of her amazing testimony and faithfulness to the Lord! I must warn you, you will need a box of tissues close by! She has beautifully expressed the feelings and emotions that come after losing a child. If you check out her blog, start from the very beginning. (it's like reading a book, you can't just jump in in the middle) Here's the link.......http://audreycaroline.blogspot.com/
Call everyone you know, because it is official: I am the worst mommy in the WHOLE WORLD! For two years in a row now, Judson has not gotten a birthday cake! I KNOW! I can't even believe that I'm admitting this to everyone! Last year, we were in the middle of moving, and 3/4 of our house was packed and stored away in the P.O.D out in the front yard. So ,we never through him a birthday party and hence, there was no cake. This year, I was just not on the ball! (Don't worry, we did give him presents!) It almost makes me want to cry to think that he will never have those keepsake pictures of himself cramming cake in his mouth with frosting all over his face and body! I still have plans to make him one, it will just be a little late! And believe me, next year, he's getting the biggest and messiest cake I can make or buy! Judson, you will never read this, but MOMMY IS SOOOO SORRY! Since this journal entry is mostly about Jud, let me just take a minute to fill you in on our littlest guy. He is sooooo sweet! He still loves to cuddle and give kisses, and he is so tender hearted because his feelings get hurt pretty easily! He is the polar opposite of Beau! He is quieter, a little sweeter to be honest, not as crazy and energetic, much more laid back and relaxed, and at this point he still listens to us! Although, tonight, we did see a glimpse of the terrible two's coming out in him! It almost takes me by surprise when Judson is disobedient or naughty because it's so unlike him! I just love him so much and thank the Lord every single day for sending us this little angel! Potty Post: (had to tag this on at the end) This evening, Beau, Judson and I went shopping for a few things while daddy was working late. First we went to Home Depot, and then to Walmart. We were gone for 2 hours, and I'm so proud to say that Beau kept his little undies dry the whole time! I didn't even stop to take him potty at all. And, to top it all off, he has started going poo poo on the potty! That is great progress for us! (thanks for the advice Grandma!) Beau rarely has any accidents here at home, but I still get a little nervous when we go outside a 50 ft. radius of the potty! (a.k.a- the comfort zone) The next big step towards being completely potty trained, is making it through the nights and nap times without having to wear a diaper!
Vacation was great! We did lots of fun things! It was so great being there with Tim's parents. Gramee and Grampee were great company and babysitters! Thanks Bob and Marlene! We kicked off the week with a trip to PA to attend Bob and Marlene's 40th anniversary and wedding vow renewal ceremony. It went beautifully! Beau and Jud were Grampee's little groomsmen and stood by his side through just about the whole ceremony! Towards the end, Jud decided it would be more fun if he could run back and forth to different people along the front pews, but thankfully he was not too terribly distracting and I don't think anyone minded! For some reason, I didn't even take one picture of that whole day, but thankfully, Janelle gave me a cd of all the pictures so I'll be able to put some on here. We enjoyed spending some time with Tim's brother Brian, his wife Niki, and their beautiful (and I mean BEAUTIFUL) daughter, Halle! She is 7 months old already and has everyone's hearts wrapped around her finger! What a special blessing she has been to the whole family! What a little cutie pie and sweet pea! While we were still in PA, Tim and I spent one whole day together at Kennywood (a theme park), and walking around downtown Pittsburgh. We had such a great time just being alone together and doing things we'd never be able to do with the boys! One of our favorite parts of that day, was finally being able to visit the coffee shop that our favorite coffee comes from! It was so cute! Our next adventure was driving to New Jersey. We got to see many neat things on our way there. We saw Amish people plowing in their fields and riding in their horse drawn buggies. We also saw the field where the Battle of Gettysburg was fought in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. I just loved driving through all those historic towns. They had so many neat houses and each town was like a piece of history. Our last leg of the trip was spent at Wildwood, New Jersey and Cape May, New Jersey. We enjoyed 4 lovely nights there. The boys LOVED the seashore! They would've spent all their time in the sand if we would've let them! Grampee was the best playmate and sand castle builder! It was wonderful waking up and looking out at the ocean every morning as we drank our coffee. The air smelled so much better there! Tim and I visited an old lighthouse and climbed all the way to the top. The view was breathtaking but our pictures don't do it justice! We did lots of eating out, shopping, and relaxing on the beach! All of those things put together is my definition of a perfect vacation! We're already looking forward to planning next year's summer vacation! Maybe it will even be at the same place! Yesterday we spent the whole day in the car driving back home. We said goodbye to the ocean at about 10:00 am, and arrived at home at 12:30 am this morning. The boys were troopers and we were so thankful to have such good little travelers! Of course, it helped to have a stack of dvd's handy at their request! When we were about 70 miles out of Knoxville, we were both really sleepy, so we pulled over at a rest area, did some jumping jacks, and played the "20 questions" game the rest of the way home so we'd stay awake! It worked! We made it home and we were all glad to be back in our own beds!
Well, it is official: I want to live at the ocean! We are having such a great time here and I'm already bummed about having to go home on Saturday! I posted a few pictures to give you an idea of what we've been up to. I'm using someone else's wireless so our connection is pretty slow. I'll have to wait and post the rest of our pictures when we get back home. This morning we saw a pack of dolphins playing and swimming near by. Beau and Jud are having a blast building sand castles with Grampee. It's hard to catch a picture of one of their masterpieces before Beau smashes it to pieces! If only I could bottle up this fresh ocean air and take it home with me! I'd also love to take this amazing ocean view home with me too! We have had so much fun so far, and I can't wait to share with everyone the neat and exciting things we've been doing. Love to you all and kisses and hugs from Cape May, New Jersey!
Well, we are counting down the days until vacation! We will be leaving Knoxville this Friday! I better not forget our camera charger so I can capture all these fun memories we will be making! Well, it's Saturday evening and Sunday's are always crazy around here, so I better run and get clothes ironed and diaper bags packed for the morning! I even made white chocolate and chocolate chip cookies to bring to our Sunday School table! Hope everyone remembers to bring their coffee!
Last night, Tim and I were sitting out on the deck when we heard some REALLY loud frogs! We looked at each other and even though it was dark, we walked over to the pool and sure enough, there were a bunch of little froggies having a little party in the pool! We scooped them out with the big net on a pole and put them down in the grass. (We didn't want them to get sucked into our filter) As we were fishing out the frogs, an owl flew by and landed on the pool ladder. It then took off and dove down for one of the frogs. I have to admit I was a little sad for the frogs, but it was really neat to see an owl just 2 feet away! So, that was our little Dicovery Channel adventure in the back yard. This morning, one of the frogs was still hanging out on the deck, so I snapped a picture. Jud and I stayed home from church this evening since I wasn't feeling well, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to get some pictures of him. I think you can tell from the pictures that he was enjoying his time alone with Mommy! He even let me trim up his hair a little. He's growing up so much!
