It was bound to happen . . .

Yes, it is what you think it is. I had just hung up my phone, when I turned around to see large chunks of hair on the floor around Adrie's feet. She had lopped off the bottom of her ponytail. I brushed out her hair to see if it was from the top or underneath, unfortunately its right from the top. Adrie may have a new haircut the next time you see her.

Marshall Rides the Courage Classic






























This past weekend, Marshall rode in his first Courage Classic bike ride. The riders raised over $600,000 for Mary Bridge Children's Clinic. They rode 180 miles, including three mountain passes, in three days. And he even ended up on "Evening Magazine."

John 14:27

Jesus speaking:
“I am leaving you with a gift — peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid."

Andy's "4-month" Check-up








Andy went in for his 4-month check yesteray, even though he's 5 1/2 months. (we're a little behind) Here are his updated stats:

17 lbs (50th percentile)
26 3/4 inches (75th percentile - he's tall!)

He's doing all the things he should be doing at this age - we just can't believe he's almost 6 months already!

Adrie Says

Adrie was pouring water on the front walkway tonight. Marshall asked her to stop. She walked into the house and said, "Sorry. I was feeling wicked."

Adrie's Thoughts

Adrie: "Mommy . . . I can't believe how tall you are."
Mommy: "I can hardly believe it myself."

"I can't find my milk-bottle anywhere, and once upon a time it was very lost," said Adrie.

A Funny Conversation

Adrie asked me if I could help her put on her sock this morning. I was sitting on the couch, nursing Andy, so I said, "I can't help you right now, because my hands are full." She was quiet for a few seconds, then asked me, "Are your hands full of milk?" Then she said to me, "Mommy, my hands are just full of air."
