New tricks

Well Ivy is now beginning to "Cruise". This means walk from one piece of furniture to the next, holding on the whole time. Yesterday she let go for 2-3 secords and just stood there. It was quite shocking to both me and Janet, who had come over to visit.

She practiced saying Bye Bye for a few days and has stopped now. She will wave of course if you say it. I think she is trying to hide her abilty to talk from Greg. :) She of course doesn't preform on command, so Greg has yet to hear her say it.

Greg is currently working swing shift and is now working 6 days a week. Starting in April he will be working 7 days a week and probably 18+ hour days. His project at work ships (hopefully) on May 8th. Please pray that Ivy and I will have strength and good spirits while he is working hard to provide for us. Please pray that the Lord will give Greg the strength to complete this task without getting burnt out or mentally drained.

I would like to thank you all for your prayers in advance.

We always look forward to your comments as well.

Ivy's First Words

Ivy's first words come with a hand motion too. As of yesterday March 21st she is waving and saying......Bye Bye.

My new dress

Today I am going to a party so I get to wear my new dress. I don't even mind the hat too much.

I do like to crinkle my nose when I smile as you can see.


Here I am watching myself wave to see exactly what my hand is doing. :)

The newest cousin comes to town.

PJ was born on December 23rd in California. He and his mother Jessica flew up this week so we could all see him. Here are some of the pictures of the day.

From left to right it is... PJ, Kya (3 yrs old), Ivy and Aliyah (5 mo. old) These are all the grandchildren. 3 born in 2006.


Here is a picture of all 3 mothers with their babies and Kya is sitting on Auntie Stephanie's feet :)


Here is a picture of Grandma Robin and her first two grandchildren born 6 months apart.

She did it

Ivy has officially pulled herself up to her feet by herself. She isn't so graceful on getting down yet but give her 2 days and she will figure it out.

We are looking forward to meeting and spending time with PJ this week. He is flying into town on Wednesday and we get to see him Thursday. We are excited about seeing Antie Jess but are sad that Uncle Steve isn't able to come too.
