Welcome....Here's a glimpse of our happenings!

The verses that have REALLY spoken to me (Sarah) lately....



"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25



Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. I Peter 5:8-9



From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Acts 17:26-28



May the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14



So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. Deuteronomy 5:32-33



God, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation. Deuteronomy 29:29 (The Message)

Ten Months....

Today, believe it or not, Luke is ten months old. Yep, he's been living outside of my body, breathing oxygen on his own, for 10 months now. Here's the "monthly" photo of him in our chair.

But first, a recap. Here's Luke at two months....



Luke at four months....Boy, what a chunk he was!



And, at six months....



At eight months....



And, posing for us all just this morning, Luke, at 10 months....



**Just two days ago, we noticed another tooth had popped through on the bottom. So, that now makes 7 teeth for Luke. There was no extra fussiness with this tooth (yeah!), but there was some diarrhea (yuck!) -- at least we think that's why that happened.

**Luke is a little "delayed" (for lack of a better term) on crawling. He's not doing it yet, though we know he COULD if he chose to. He rolls everywhere. He gets up on all fours and "rocks," and he's been doing that for two months. He goes from a sitting position to a crawling position very well and very quickly. Oh, how he so could do it. He's just content rolling, I guess. I found out just the other night that I didn't walk until 15 months. My mom couldn't remember exactly when I started crawling (she was going to look that up), but my guess is that it was delayed as well. So, perhaps Luke is taking a bit after me on this whole thing. If he takes after me on the brains, he'll be oh so very smart (Ha Ha).

**He's still really liking his swimming lessons! I, as his mother, actually did put him under water earlier this week. Though it was hard to do, I'm glad I did. I do very much want him to like the water and not be afraid of it.

He is a growing boy! It was fun to watch him rolling around this morning!

Graham didn't crawl until until nearly 11 months. Here we are at 15 months. Still not walking. I guess he'll do it when he's ready!

Sounds like Luke is just about to crawl. So close!

I bet he will take off any day now! I can't believe how big he is! (Oh and the DQ here is pretty good. service could use some help but they are high schoolers ;))

Everyone told me Grace might be delayed in development because she was a preemie, but she crawled by 9 mo. and walked at 13 mo. Natalie, on the other hand, was full-term and didn't crawl until almost 11 mo. and didn't walk until 15 mo. So, he's definitely normal - maybe just a little stubborn. He'll be all over the place before you know it and then you'll be posting blogs about how to get him to stop! :-)
