Fall Photoshoot!

I asked Auntie Katie to take the kids pictures the other day and she did an AMAZING job!! Here are some of my favorites.









You can see all the pictures here on my facebook page.

Unredeemed

We've been having a rough couple of weeks for my extended family. You can read about it here on my sister Katie's blog. In these times its tough to say that God is good, but He is. He is still on the throne. This song has been a great encouragement to me this last week!

Unredeemed

Selah

The cruelest words, the coldest heart
The deepest wounds, the endless dark
The lonely ache, the burning tears
The bitter nights, the wasted years

Life breaks and falls apart
But we know these are

[Chorus]
Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
They may be unfulfilled, they may be unrestored
But when anything that’s shattered is laid before the Lord
Just watch and see it will not be
Unredeemed

For every choice that led to shame
And all the love that never came
For every vow that someone broke
And every life that gave up hope

We live in the shadow of the fall
But the cross says these are all …

[Chorus]

Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
They may be unfulfilled, they may be unrestored
But you never know the miracles the Father has in store
Just watch and see it will not be
Just watch and see it will not be

Leah is Four Months

Wow I cannot believe that it has been four months since Leah joined our family! She is such a joy! Wyatt continues to love her more and more and likes to play with her. These last two months she has learned to roll over both ways, drool :) eat her hands :) she puts weight on her feet and stands with help. She also is trying to crawl, no seriously she gets up on her knees and her elbows and pushes forward. I am not ready for a mobile child yet, I was looking forward to the few months I would have with an immobile little girl. Oh well, there goes that. I am convinced that she thinks she is 8 months old. She is making noises and trying to mimic some noises she hears. She does not like the car at all! She sleeps fine while traveling, but if she is awake she is not happy. This past weekend was one of those situations the only thing I could do to calm her down is to take the DVD player away from Wy and put it in front of her. Crazy child shut right up.

Another super fun thing that happened is that on Leah's four month birthday, her first cousin was born. Meet Clayton Scott. Born September 5, 2009 at 1:54am 9lbs 8oz 21in long. He is perfect and a little chunk!!

Wyatt was quite smitten with his "friend" which is how he would refer to Clayton. Here he is with Aunt Stacy and Uncle Tim. Stacy was a champ! Completely natural, only in labor for about 5 hours with 10 minutes of hard pushing! Way to go!!

Sweet face!

Proud Daddy! He is smitten!

Summer days and the best sound in the world

Wy has been LOVING his shark pool this summer, and it has been a lifesaver for my sanity at times. Its been so hot the last few weeks that we haven't wanted to be outside, but everyone gets a little stir crazy inside all day so its been fun to get out in the pool. The little Bean got in on the action too the other day. I posted a bunch of pic on facebook so if you follow this link you should be able to see them.

Then last night Leah did this

Third Birithday Pics

Here's a few pictures of Wy's day! We had a lot of fun with some friends. I love the picture of Wyatt with his two friends James and Liam Paden. What adorable boys they are. Wyatt is doing great and has really become a little boy now. I just looked at a picture of him from when we moved out here and he was still looking like a baby now he is truly a little boy! He is such a fun kid and I love being his mom. I think we have finally got a potty trained boy. Still some accidents here and there, but he is getting better every day. He wears a diaper at night because we still have some and he wears a pull up for rest time just in case he falls asleep, other than that underwear all the time. He is a super fun kid who loves to play with his friends the most right now. He also loves trains and cars. Boy through and through. I thank God for this special gift every day! What a blessing we have been given!
