Around the house

Lately there have been some spots around the house that just make me happy.  Sometimes it seems it can be the smallest detail that makes it feel like home.  Most of these things have been little day projects that have turned out so fun and so useful.  I love finding little treasures at antique stores and making it work.  Matt built our garden and he did a great job - I cannot wait to plant!

Just today

Too many cute moments today not to grab the camera. 

Playing like a big boy

This is how every bath goes - Ty stands and watches and Emma talks to him.  Cute.

FOB outside - Emma read her books and I flipped through magazines.  Perfect afternoon.

They are starting to become sweet little friends - Ty LOVES her.

9 months old

I am so in love with this little guy.  He is just a ball of energy.  He is standing everywhere and his little crawl is too cute.  We are having so much fun with this kid - love him!

Pops turned 60!

We celebrated Pops' birthday this past weekend in San Antonio and had such a great time!  Here are way too many pictures:

Happy weekend and Happy 60th birthday Pops!!!

8!

Growing up!  Ty is now in a new phase of movement.  He is pulling up - loves to stand by the window and look out.  Today I found him on top of the dishwasher door - and so it begins.  He can get into a sitting up position and we have seen a real crawl several times although he still goes back to the army crawl most of the time.  Perhaps its the floors or just that he knows he can get somewhere fast.  He LOVES eating finger foods - whole peas, banana pieces, apple pieces, you name it.  This kid continues to be joy.  He looks for attention wherever we go and can really ham it up.  We are in for it.  He still has just the bottom two teeth but that third one has barely been poking out for about 3 weeks - come on tooth!  What a gift this boy is - Matt was telling someone Ty's story the other day and said that Ty is like our Heavenly Father just giving us a hug when we needed one.  What a reminder that He cares for us and loves us.  Ty's life continues to remind us of our Lords faithfulness and blessing.  Happy 8 months little man.
