It's so cute to see these four together. Bella 23mths, Noelle 16mths, Johnny 10mths, Miranda 2 1/2. Don't worry, Johnny, there's a boy cousin on the way! (Click on this photo to see more of our trip to IN)

A Picture and a Truth

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." ~Matthew 7:7

Miranda wore this dress to church today. She said she liked it and when I asked her why she said, "For the snowballs".

Introduction

Tonight as I was putting Johnny down for the night he spotted the hall tree in the corner of our bedroom and waved to it. By the light coming through the cracked open closet it must of looked like a person:-) I took him closer for an introduction and he clung close to me and pulled back. So funny!

Speaking of funny, at supper Miranda was playing with her food and it was hilarious. She was talking to her green beans and trying to get them to swing on her piece of spaghetti. She was saying things like, "You stay there for two hours". Then she lined her beans up and put a piece of spaghetti over top, told them to go to sleep and proceeded to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" to them.

Johnny's new found love is climbing. He practiced climbing steps and going down backwards while we were in Goshen. Now he can get up on the couch, the top of the couch, and down from the arm rest to the floor all by himself. He also took four steps today. And he said "Uh oh" for the first time this week. He's just a hunk of baby love. I am constantly squeezing him to soak it all in.

Back in TX and back from my blogging lull. We had a great time with family and I have the pictures to prove it. However, as I scanned through them all I was a little overwhelmed, so I decided to just focus on these- some of my favs of Miranda from the week. My fam decided to spend some time at the lake. A bathing suit was not on my packing list, so these hand-me-downs from her boy cousins were the best we could come up with. Tomboy is not her usual style, so I really got a kick out of seeing her "get dirty" in these play clothes. She played so hard all week I think she is still recovering.
