My Baby is Getting so Big!

I know Special K is 7 months old, but I just want her to stay little forever! Okay, not really. But I am loving on her as much as possible. I normally start the children on solid food right around 6 months, but I waited with Special K. I would have started her on food a week before the wedding and I would have had to haul extra stuff with us. So, I just waited until after we got back. Here are some pictures from her first taste of rice cereal. :-)

She was happy at first.

She wasn't so sure about it....


Then she seemed to like it.


Then she wasn't so sure again


She sure loves to eat now. So far Special K hasn't shown any signs of food allergies after a month. I pray it stays that way. :-)

Another night in May the children and I went out to the retirement home to help my MIL (who is an activities director there) prepare a couple of spots in the courtyard for residents to plant tomatoes.

But first I wanted to show this picture. The picture below happens every day at the retirement home. Deer are everywhere up there. I remember seeing at least 12 right outside the building one day. You have to be careful going up the drive...because I almost hit one the other day.


Special K enjoyed watching Nana get the garden beds ready and eating grass. You can see a piece of grass on her lip.


To you this may look like regular ol' landscaping in a courtyard, but....

to my children....it's a jungle! They love playing in here anytime they get a chance. See the legs? ;-)


And there is even a bunny that lives in the courtyard. I always feel sorry for him though. The children don't mean to, but I think they scare him.


There are still plenty more pictures to come. I will post them as my time allows. :-) I pray everyone is having a great day!

Its funny how children see things. We have a drive on our way to ballet that is covered in trees. Just beautiful. Everytime we drive through it Chloe gasps in amazement and says (in awe), "Are we in the jungle?"

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
