Curtain Countdown

Well, I'm almost halfway done... with the first section.

Our friends paid us a visit this past weekend so that Caleb could help Seth out on a project at the shop. Katie and I took our bundles of joy over to the shop to watch for the afternoon. To see what they were working on, visit Katie's blog.

Posing for Pictures

Super Sitting

He's getting so big! I'm sure I say that a lot, but truly every day it seems as if he changes in so many different ways. His two bottom teeth are peeking through now and he can sit up all by himself. He sure is a curious little fellow. When sitting in his walker in the kitchen he is simply enthralled with the trash can. Funny guy! The end of this month puts him at seven months! "Thank you, Father, for my Kevin."

Love Letters

Charise came to visit me a couple of weeks ago, and out of the goodness of her heart she helped me paint my kitchen. When I lived at home, in Granada, I helped her paint her bedroom and (being a helplessly in love engaged bride to be) slapped a heart with Seth's and my initials on the wall. For tradition's sake (and being a helplessly in love wife) I slapped it on another wall to bring back those good old memories.

Craft Corner

Paper filigree or quilling

Cutsie little baby booties!

Baby hoodie.

I have enjoyed doing a bunch of different crafts these past few weeks so I thought I'd blog about them. You may think it is just another way for me to procrastinate on my curtain, but be surprised - I haven't been procrastinating, and will post another curtain countdown soon.

Moment of Meditation

"PRAISE YE the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

While I live will I praise the LORD:

I will sing praises unto God while I have any being."

~Psalm 146:1-2~

"PRAISE YE the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary:

praise him in the firmament of his power.

Praise him for his mighty acts;

praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Praise him with the sound of the trumpet:

praise him with the psaltery and harp.

Praise him with the timbrel and dance:

praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

Praise him upon the loud cymbals:

praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.

Praise ye the LORD."

~Psalm 150~

Woodchip Wows!

Riverdale in action!

The conductor!

Making music!

THE loader! The mountain!

From the top of the mountain!

Spew!

The guys have been working in Benson for a little while now, so Seth suggested that I drive up and take a few pictures of the site. These are only a few of them. That big pile of chips is even bigger now than it is in the picture!

Time To Talk

Orchestra Outing

Seth took me to Orchestra Hall Saturday night to hear Sir James Galway play his golden flute with the Minnesota Orchestra. It was so neat!

Graduation Gladness

He made it! Congratulations Dan!

President Crane

"Singing His Praise"

Seth and I went to Owatonna on Saturday to celebrate with Dan and Christa as Dan graduated from Pillsbury Baptist Bible College.

Posing with Papa

Kevin looked so cozy inside of this blanket while we were going back inside, but the breeze was a little too much for him so this was as close to a smile as he could manage. Yeah! Papa's home! I just love my Papa!

Jello Jigglers

There is something so hilariously cute about watching a baby eat jello!
