Talia has been really curious about the states. She has been asking to read about them and has made it her hobby to study the US map and memorize where they are all located. She asked me a few weeks ago to teach her the "state" song. She misses a few in this clip but this was with a week's practice. Too cute!

Two posts in one week?!
I'm slowly dusting off my blog from a long bout of blogging funk. Haven't wanted to blog for various reasons even though I have had multiple blogging posts in my head. Before I begin the task of catching you all up on the many details of my life I wanted to share what I have been studying in the Word.
2 Peter 1:3-11
"His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world cause by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perserverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you posess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

Quote of the week
This happened yesterday and I may be the only one who thought it was pretty funny and didn't want to forget it so onto the blog it goes.
Me: "Talia, please go get your sweater on so we can take Lil' to the dr."
Tal: "Mama, I don't know where my sweater is."
Me: "Did you look in the playroom....in the living room.."
Tal: "Mama, I think Lil ate my sweater....MOOOOMMMM...Lil ate my sweater!!!"
Me: As I find her sweater in the coat closet next to her shoes...."No, Tal Lil' didn't eat your sweater."
I guess we have entered into the "blame it on my sister" zone.

Happy Birthday Amber!
(Pretty sure I used this picture last year...but it remains my favorite and is an oldy but a goody).
My prayer for you this year is:
"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light."
I hope your special day is great!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Even though this holiday is often celebrated by partying in smoky pubs it actually is an interesting and inspiring story. Thought this clip might share a little bit about the history in a fun way. Enjoy and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

10 months in.....
Lil's new trick...standing up in her crib (notice her lovey in the background)
Looking more like a big girl everyday
Loves to play at her learning table
My sweet girl
Lil + teething biscuit = big ol' messAnother month has flown by and Lil has been learning all sorts of new things and continuing to master others. I can't believe that she is just two short months away from being a year old!! Here are some of her new/old tricks:
- Pulls self up to standing position and has started to cruise (slowly)
- Pulls off socks (especially when her hands are all messy from eating)
- Shakes her head no when you tell her no or she knows she isn’t supposed to touch or do something
- Loves to play peek a boo, especially in the van with Tal (or Grampa)
- Walks on her knees, usually as she is pushing a toy
- Still has only 2 teeth and takes 2 naps
- LOVES water (to drink and play in)
- Gives hugs and starting to give kisses
- Loves the speaker phone…especially when she hears Daddy’s voice when we leave him messages throughout the day
- Likes blueberries
- Tries to eat the coffee table any chance she can get
- Waves “hi” and “goodbye”
- “Dances” and claps to music
- Sings to music….kind of like a cute little hum
- Objects when I take something she wants away
- Gets into sitting position from her tummy
- Says Mama or Mom & Dada or Dad specifically
Still has a smile that lights up a room
Some of the reasons I haven't been blogging
I know I have been a bad and inconsistent blogger as of late. Hopefully I can catch you up on a few of the many things we have been busy with.
We got to visit with the Arns kiddos while they were here visiting from China. Lil missed out on the fun cause she was napping.
Kyle found a great deal on a double jogger through his work and we have been putting it to good use. I didn't realize how much of a work out I would get pushing two cuties up our big hill....it is wonderful!
Is this not one of the saddest pictures of Lil? Poor girl was sick a few weekends ago. We both didn't get much sleep and I was entirely covered in snot and kid goo. What a trooper she was though, smiling even when she was running a 102 degree temp and trying so hard to suck her thumb as she slept but would wake up every 20 minutes coughing. Thankfully she is feeling much better.
Here's my girls....Lil is learning so many new tricks and Tal is a week away from another birthday! Could someone please push the pause button...it is going by a little too fast for this Mama.
