Memory Verse, Hannah Version

Well, we've begun working on some Bible verses... I thought we'd better start w/ Eph. 6:1... "Children, obey your parents, for this is right".  Hannah can say the whole thing, but then she decided that it should go like this: "Children, obey your parents.... good job!"  She does the last part along with a funny arm hook thing... kind of like what a pirate would do with the whole "aaaaaargh, matey" thing.  I told James this must be a new translation we haven't heard of!

Also, while we're at it, Caleb is really close to crawling- doing everything but!  He's great at going backwards by pushing with his arms locked... I'm in no rush. :)

Awwww...

Mrs. Amy captured this moment at the S'dale Aquatic Center a few weeks ago... I'm so thankful she did!

funny Hannah moments...

I was working on cooking dinner one evening, and I looked outside the back window... Hannah was figuring out how to climb up into Caleb's baby swing.  I sent Dad out to capture the moment!

What she looked like one morning when I went in to check on her... why sleep on a comfy bed when you can do this?

Hannah participated (using the term loosely) in her first Bible school closing program last Friday.  During one of the songs, she spotted Caleb.  She began bending over and saying "Hi Caleb... Caaaaaleb", etc.  What a great big sis!

swimming fun

We have started our pool adventures this summer!  Hannah Grace loves the water... always has. Caleb likes it, but only if the temperature suits him.  He splashed around a little bit the first time we put him in the big pool.  That happened last Thursday... thanks, Mr. Kevin!

Of course, this is Caleb's idea of a good time at the pool, too...

Daddy is obsessed with making Bubba's hair into a mohawk... so here ya' go, Dad.

Here's what you get when Hannah does NOT want to smile for another picture... pitiful, isn't it?

Visit to NLR

We went to NLR last weekend for Father's Day, and so that I could go to a shower for James' cousin and his fiance.  We had a good time... Uncle Chad brought his new puppy down, and he enjoyed Caleb's exersaucer!

Here's Hannah seriously contemplating something on the back deck... she had so much fine playing with the water table on MeMaw and PePaw's back deck and going down the slip-n-slide. She is an outdoors-girl!

I just couldn't pass up the chance to post this one... everyone says he's a momma's boy, but I just don't understand...

Random Thoughts

Just a few things I was thinking about this morning...

You take it for granted how your child cannot open the refrigerator and get in anytime she wants... well, now she can!  It was bad enough when she quickly figured out how to get around the child lock on the pantry... now we're totally done for.

Last night as we were attempting to get ready for bed, Hannah wanted to wear these pink polka-dot pajama shorts.  I couldn't convince her that the top that came with the shorts was the correct one- it doesn't have polka-dots, so in her mind, it doesn't match. We finally negotiated on wearing a mickey/minnie t-shirt.  Nana said, "Look, it's pink so it'll match just fine."  As Hannah walked away, she said... "If you say so" like she really didn't believe it.  Nana and I just died laughing...

He can sit up!!!

Caleb is such a big boy now... he can totally sit up on his own for pretty long periods at a time.  He sat on a blanket in our room and played with toys today- he only toppled once!  I had to take a pic of his legs and tummy- I just love him and his rolls!
