More Acrobatics

Here are some more pictures of Bruce's acrobatics. What a silly boy!




Here's another product of my cake decorating class. I didn't choose the cake's theme - and, no, we aren't trying to tell you anything! :)




Here's the first mosquito of the season (in the house, unfortunately). Huge!

Family Pictures

Bruce 9 months



I forgot to include these earlier. Enjoy!



















Willow says "of course I wasn't eating his goldfish!"



Last week was crazy and busy for all of us, but it was wonderful. Jerret was busy at work and Bruce and I had many activities going on. We had a family day on Valentine's Day. We went to Possum Kingdom Lake and explored some of the small towns that are west of us. We also went out to dinner. It was a very nice day. We would have pictures to show you of us at the lake, etc, but we forgot the camera that day, so you'll just have to take our word for it. We had a great time!


Eating lunch with cousin John


Bruce has a new thing (doesn't he always). He gets up on his toes and hands or his feet, hands, and head with his little butt up in the air. He does this literally hundreds of times a day. We aren't sure what he's doing. It looks to me like he's doing the Downward Dog yoga pose. He may be trying to stand since he readily will stand if you hold his hands when he does this. Here are some pictures of the new antics. Any explanations?






Please don't eat me - I'm too cute!




Here is the first product of my cake decorating class. It's not the best, but I really have a lot of fun.




Bruce doesn't usually crawl on hands and knees, but does the "army crawl". He can get going crazy fast if he really wants to get somewhere!

Busy, Busy, Busy



Now that we are settled in and are finding the niches where we belong, our calendar is filling up! This week and next are huge work weeks for Jerret. We are in a Bible study on Sunday and are finding ourselves very at home in our church (we never really thought of ourselves as Baptist, but I guess we are now!). I go to a Community Bible Study group on Wednesdays and a cake decorating class on Thursdays. Bruce is goes to a Christian Learning Center on Thursdays (and sometimes Tuesdays). He also goes to the CBS childrens' program when I am there on Wednesdays. Next week, we have MOPs on Friday and Bruce has a Moppets Valentine's Day Party (more for me than him, obviously) on Tuesday! Whew! It is wonderful for us to be involved, though. All of these extra-curricular activities enrich our lives so much!

"Quit taking pictures - just put me to bed!"



Why do parents think it's cute when their kids make a mess with food?



I don't know either, but it sure is!
