W's Baptism

These days I'm into just blogging pictures because, well, it's faster...so here are some pics of W's baptism this past Sunday.   It was a sweet sweet baptism Sunday at our church.  I pray for his (and our little munchkins') salvation daily and for them to not know a day without Jesus. 

 As good of a family photo as we could get

Sorry it's been a while since a post...but life happens.  Here is a sweet pic of W at 5 1/2 months.  He is tripodding!  And he continues to be the sweetest most smiley baby.  I heart him...

It's beginning to look...

alot like Christmas!

A few from Turkey Day

Here are a cute few I got (from my iPhone and my other camera) on turkey day.  My dad came up for the weekend, and we also had our neighbors over.  Jacob was on-call, but was home by mid-afternoon to get ready for our afternoon meal.  It was the first-ever turkey day dinner I prepared all by myself (well, a few little munchkins helped too).  I'm sure my mom and mother-in-law were quite tired of hearing all my questions about giblets and sweet potatoes, but I wanted it to be perfect.  Everything was great I might say, the bird, cranberry congealed salad, nutty buddy (sweet potato casserole), green bean casserole, rolls, wine, desserts and more.  The gravy was the only epic fail...maybe next year!

Life in iPhone Pictures

I just got an iPhone about a month ago, and at first I didn't see all the hype about it.  Now I'm hooked!  What more would you want at your fingertips than a camera, text messaging (to converse with busy husband throughout the day), and the game Words With Friends?  Here are some cute ones I downloaded recently.

Dropping off Samaritan's Purse, Operation Christmas Child.  Thank you to GM and GF for such a neat way to introduce our children to giving to those in need.  They were so proud of the boxes.  (Please disregard F's mismatching shoes.  We were trying to get to the church before it closed).

Here we are at the Verizon store, getting the new iPhone.  F with a cute silver tutu and balloon in hand was asking me why I had a new phone.  And cute little W smiling in the background.

 Afternoon at the library.  I like these shots because it gives a glimpse of their current interests.  C LOVES to read, F loves the computer and anything techie reclated, and W loves to sleep.

F and her sweet friend Cate at a cute cute farm birthday party, complete with pony rides, a hayride, and friends.

I love a baby in white.
