Here Comes Santa Clause

Lindy Jack did so good on his first encounter with Santa. He wasn't afraid, he just kept looking up and him and checking him out. Santa whispered to me that next year might not be so easy. I guess he knows from experience.

I love this smile!

House Update

The house is coming along. It looks like maybe we will be in by early spring. There are still a lot of decisions to be made before then. The back of the house. These are the windows to one of the upstairs bedrooms.

The windows are all in.

This is the side porch. The house had a big porch on the front, but Jeffrey had the great idea of wrapping to porch around the side of the house to.

The garage.

The roof is beautiful. This picture does not do it justice.

The front entrace.

The front stairs in the works. Hope you enjoyed.

Lindy Jack's First Trip to South Carolina

Lindy Jack and I took a little adventure to South Carolina last weekend. We had sooooo much fun. He was the best baby ever! He was only fussy once the entire trip and we were there for 5 days. I was so thankful. This was our first trip alone so I was a little unsure of how things would go. He did great on the drive up and back. He slept most of the way. We saw lots of friends and had loads of fun. Check out our pictures! Lindy Jack became an official Clemson Tiger!

I'm so glad that Lindsey was in Greenville while we were there. It was so good to see her.

It was finally cool enough for him to wear a hat that I made him.

My favorite girls.. Madison and Cameren. Ovis's two girls are growing up so fast.

This Week

We are finally getting some cooler weather, well upper 70s which is much better than upper 90s. I got to pull out some of Lindy Jack's fall clothes. I just got this hat for him it looks so cute, but he is so funny with it. He likes to take it off and chew on it. Pretty much everything goes straight to his mouth right now.

We tried on some hats that I made for LJ. I can't wait for it to be cool enough for him to actually wear them. He loves playing with his dad's beard.

Lindy Jack sleeps on his side in his bed and I guess has decided that it also comfortable to sleep on his side in his swing. :)

We went to the Whistle Stop Festival with Big Jack and Nan. We didn't stay lond because this was before the weather started to cool down and it was soooo hot.

baby dedication

Wednesday night we had the privleged of dedicating Lindy Jack to the Lord at Church of the Highlands. He usually stays in the nursery when we go to into church so he was in for a big surprise when the music started. It was so loud that he jumped and he was so alert and kept looking back and forth at all the people. He looked so cute in his white dedication outfit given to us as a shower gift. Check out the pictures below:

Yum Yum

This was our first attempt at rice cereal. It was difficult to get a clear picture because Lindy Jack kept moving around kicking his legs and trying to grab the spoon. We started this on Sunday and today was the first day he ate the entire bowl. As you can see from the pictures this was very eventful for the entire family including our four-legged brother and sister. Ficher and Sunday were so interested I kept having to shoo them away so they would start licking the milk/cereal off of LJ's hands.

Don't Forget The Pets

I know I have been showing lots of baby pictures lately, however I don't want to forget about our first babies. We have been doing our best to show them extra special attention since Lindy Jack arrived. Ficher, Sunday and Kai!
