Samuel Camping

Really this chair is his favorite place to hang at home or at the campsite. We sit him in it and we put him on the table and bounce him while we lunch. During dinner, because there's so much chow on the table, we put him under the table and Jake will bounce him there too. It's a great little seat for the fella. During the witching hour (5-6 pm) the kids take turns bouncing him in it while I get dinner going and on the table. Thank you to the Bereans who made the purchase of this seat possible with the generous gift card to Target you gave us!

Louisa is 6!

Lou turned 6 years old this past Saturday. We had so much fun celebrating her birthday that evening. She dressed up in her Munchkin outfit from the Wizard of Oz Showcase she performed in last May. We had just arrived home from a camping trip, so I bought the cake... It's the 2nd birthday I've done that for... She was so excited to pick out her own cake from the store! Thank you all who remembered her!

Samuel 2 Months

Samuel had his 2 month well child visit today. He weighed 12 pounds 10 ounces and measured 24 1/4 inches long. He's thriving and his clavicle is just about all healed. The Doctor could still feel the bone callous from his fracture. His head is still a bit flat so we have to continue to sleep him on that left side. He had shots and it was very rough for him. He was so sad and had a few crying jags about it. Right now he's sleeping. I remember from all the babies that the 2 month shots are rough.

He's smiling all the time now and cooing and babbling frequently at me. It's so adorable. The kids love to help me with him and even Silas gives him lots of attention in the form of kisses on the forehead. Ahh sweet brotherly love.

Death awaits us all.

So, what do a Harvard Professor, The President of the United States, and a Cop have in common? Aside from the beer, they will all die and be judged by God, who is no respecter of man nor does he play favorites!

The Darling of Heaven is Jesus Christ our Lord. Without this Savior there is no hope for any of them nor us.

Surfin' USA

Colby and his new board. Before he could go out and try it, he had to melt off the old wax and apply the new wax. Jake took him out Friday morning for the "dawn patrol." He practiced paddling with it over the waves and swimming with the wetsuit, shoes, etc. He had fun and needed hot cocoa to warm up afterwards. Looking forward to taking pictures of him riding the thing.. sitting or standing.. I'm not picky!

Let me Explain...

Actually, I can't.

I'm bad.. I know it

I have this beautiful little child and I haven't posted any pictures of him in days. I'm so sorry! Please enjoy our Samuel. He's shoeless. Typical for a Reynolds until winter strikes or they learn to walk.
