Pictures from August

Hello! How are all of you doing?
It is kind of hard for me to believe that I am doing a post so soon. It has only been a little over two weeks since my last!!!
Life here keeps rolling along. Every day seems to bring something new that is all it's own.
Parent hood is suiting Trevor and I just fine. :) We probably find it so enjoyable because we have such a well behaved baby. I found yesterday that if I sing along with the CD of Pachelbel's Canon it put Isabella to sleep in seconds vs. the 30 min. of rocking! I tried it again this today and had the same result. :)
Hmmm what does this taste like?
Isabella has really become interested in everything we are doing and wants to have a hand in it all!
Isabella has been pulling herself into a sitting position for a while now. A couple weeks ago I was playing with her on the bed and after she set up she let go of my fingers. She had a surprised look on her face like 'what am I doing???' at first. :) Then she moved and over she went. She has become much better at it since then.
One night I went outside to spend some time with Trevor while he was working on a project. As the shadows lengthened I enjoyed seeing the sunset and the moon shining in the sky. This picture does not do it justis!... But maybe it will give you some idea.

Meet the newest member of the house, Mr. Winston. He is a sweet kitty and has quite a personality. It is fun to set on the porch swing and watch him play... although some times I get the feeling he is eying my toes!!!
Missy does not know what to think of him. I do believe she is rather jealous.
Here are some more additions.
(but only for 7 more weeks, then they will be in the freezer)
We received 100 chicks on the 26th. They have gotten a lot bigger in the last week! They are not nearly as cute.

Isabella "helping" Daddy pick tomatoes, leaves, or anything else in arms reach.
:) So that is a little bit from things around here.
Oh and don't forget to go by and see Trevor's blog. He has been so excited about it and checks every night to see if anyone has looked at it or left him a comment. If you have a second please go by and drop him a quick note.

I have a yahoo reader, so I check everyday to see if anyone has posted. So, it'd be easier to comment and such if people did actually post once in a while. While singing/rocking your daugher, look at her and "close" your eyes like you're falling asleep. Keep opening and closing them as if you're fighting sleep/nodding off. It's hilarious, cause that works, too. Oh the power of suggestion! We used to get such a kick out of doing that when our kids were small.

Hope Ashley and Ryan are doing well. Since they married, it's like they fell off the earth. No one mentions them anymore. Kinda of sad and disappointing.

Anonymous,
You are right about my not posting very faithfully. It seems like there are always something else that comes up or nothing really happing to post about.

Ashley and Ryan are doing well. Maybe if you asked Ashley she would do a quick update? I don’t think that is my story to tell.

Isabella is getting so big! And even cuter, too, if that is possible. :) It looks like you all had a pleasant and busy August. Thanks for sharing all of the photos, Thelma, as I enjoyed seeing them! :)

Mrs. Pelc,
Thank you for your sweet comment. Trevor and I are enjoying having Isabella. I can’t imagine what life would be like without her. God has greatly blessed us!

Dear Sarah,

:) Isabella is growing so fast. I sometimes wonder where the time has gone! Thank you for your comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures. I really enjoyed your post “A Day at Rock Bridge State Park”. It looked like a lot of fun!
