Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

 

 

 

Cat on the Run

Ever since Liam has been walking our cat has been on high alert. Liam will chase him around and Owen will be very tolerant when caught. But, in this situation, Owen escaped.

The Thiry's

The Thiry's visited Rockford today and we spent a bit of time together. We hadn't seen them for three years, but then in the past month we've been able to hang out twice, but always for just a short amount of time. Still, it has been great to be with them and see their boys!

Can't You See This on the Wall at Your Dentist Office?

I thought this was hilarious. Of course, they're not talking about any of us bloggers! They must be referring to someone we don't know.

Our Own Evil Knievel

Liam doesn't like sitting on his little bike, but prefers to stand on it. I think I see ER visits in the future.

 

Looking for Dad

Liam says goodbye to Andy at the front window. It seems like he looks for him throughout the day.

By the way, I have been posting a lot of pictures of Liam in only diapers. Just so you know, I do dress him more often than not :) He just must be freed to be so cute when not inhibited by clothes, thus resulting in a lot of pictures of him in the diapers.

 

Friends

Liam and Gracie play really well together. Well, Gracie has a lot of grace and doesn't mind when Liam steals toys from her. I guess it is better said that Gracie is a very tolerant little girl. When do kids learn how to share?

Porch and Yards

Finally, I'm posting pictures of the porch that we all worked on while the Tobins were here. We sanded in down and stained it. Andy likes it how it is, I am thinking one shade darker maybe? We also planted a lot of new bushes and perineals in the yard too. We're having fun with the home improvements!

 

 

 

 

6 Key Steps to Make the Most of a Sunny Day

 

1. Go outside to enjoy the warm weather.
2. Throw the recycling plastic in your kiddie pool.
3. Lean over the side and splash around.
4. Try to get the recycling out again.
5. Strip out of your diaper.
6. Drink out of the hose.

Working with Dad

Liam likes to stay close to Andy when he is home, whether it is working on the door frames or watching him mow the lawn. Liam is a man's man.

Our Pets

Since Liam is allergic to dogs, we like to pay attention to the animals in our yard that have adopted us. Today, it was our faithful St. Andrew's Cross spider and a praying mantis.

 

Our spider friend has gained a lot of weight this past week, sort of like pregnant me. I don't think he can blame it on pregnancy though, more like the two big grasshoppers in his web.

 

Yay for predatory animals! Kill all the annoying insects, Mr. Mantis!

Ultrasound Update

Hi Friends,

Thanks for praying with us about the baby's kidney! Unfortunately, the kidney is looking worse. They said there may be some signs of cysts and of damage that could affect the function, although it is hard to tell definitively on an ultrasound. The doctor is consulting with a pediatric urologist to see if we need a prenatal referral. Kidney problems are the most common birth defect apparently, and our doctor has seen a lot of them (even his own daughter had one), but he has never had a kidney bad enough to warrant a referral before the baby is born. Even with this bad news, it is still possible that the kidney normalizes and has great function! We're praying that the doctors have wisdom and that the Lord would heal our baby. Thanks for praying with us!
