TRAIN TRIP

Noah is still pretty train crazy...so last weekend we went to the Bellingham train museum.

his smile says it all.............

MMMmmmm Making Pizza

One thing I admire about Noah is that he is always ready to help when it comes to food


Our happy pizza ready to get cooked on the BBQ

Our happy pizza now looks like a happy lion...tasted yummy

THE KIDS

Noah burning the midnight oil working on his truck...he is always going to work

enjoying some oatmeal on her own

modeling some new silky PJ's

Noah the GREAT

This right here is one of the sweetest boys I think I will ever know in my lifetime. Always ready to help Daddy with projects and bake with me in the kitchen....Although there are challenging days with potty training etc.....it is the simple things he does and says that melt my heart. Today we were looking through the phonebook for a number and he saw a lady on a stretcher in the yellow pages and he asked what was wrong and after I told him she was probably sick...he said without hesitating, "Can we pray for her?" WOW ...wow....wow...he is awesome and has such a beautiful heart even at the age of 2.....then tonight...I asked RD to massage my feet and he quickly came over and started doing it before RD could even answer....he is going to make some woman very happy one day. He is wonderful with Emily and always looking out for her...but of course there are some off days between the two of them.

Labor Day Work

Here are our wonderful neighbors Jim and Carol helping us stack wood

This is Noah having a good solid breakfast before the work begins

here is the work for the day as well as the homemade log fence in background

R.D. doesn't observe many holidays so the splitting begins with his special helper

even little Emily wanted to get in on the action

Emily Joy and cute as a button.....

these eyes make me smile every day


Emily is standing against furniture and pulling herself up

Aug she was starting to crawl and now she is trying to stand...way to soon for me....but always ready if she is...

crawling, standing Emily

No shortage of business in this house...Emily decided to grow up overnight. Aug 31st she decided to start crawling everywhere and Sept1st she is standing up against the couch. As much as I am excited I am also a little sad to see my babies growing up......
