Camping out

Matt and the boys are camping out tonight in the tent. They are so excited, I wonder if they will even sleep . Thanks Paw and Maw for their new sleeping bags and flashlights.

And this is the way Gracie falls asleep now, because she has learned to get to sitting position on her own by pulling on her bed but she cant get back down. So I always have to go back in there and lay her down.

Skate Day

Our church rents out the skate rink once a month, the boys have been asking to go so I finally took them. They did pretty good for the first time. I htink they only fell one time. Thanks to all the help from the older boys and girls at church. They had a blast and are still talking to about it.

Gracies 1st Haircut & 9 Month Check up

She was getting homely looking so I trimmed her hair last week. Before, during (Jeremiah's view) and after . She did really good, she had a sucker while I was cutting.

She is a very healthy girl, doing great ! About 7 or so words we can understand . She just started saying boys and dog. Scooting everywhere almost crawling, pulling up, but still no teeth. She was 19.3 lbs (56%) and 28 inches long (65%).

Strawberries

Our Strawberry patch is in full bloom. The pic with the boys is the first few berries they picked of the season. Then the next is a few days later. And for the last 2 weeks it has been between 100-200 every other day ! What a Blessing !! I have put up 27 1/2 pints of Jam , so we should be set for a while. Not to mention the hundreds of berries we have eaten every day. They are just starting to slow down this week. We are so thankful for all the delicious berries.
