An evening in the FHBC nursery

Caleb with spiky hair!

Is this a better angle?

Tayler putting the moves on Caleb. He doesn't seem to mind. Oh, puppy love.


Apparently, she even let him borrow her chapstick.

The end.


(Thanks, Shannon, for the pictures!)

Conversation with a 3-year-old

Luke: "What letter does 'God' start with?"

Grace: "G!"

Lacey: "What sound does 'G' make?"

Grace: "Guh!"

Lacey: "Wow! You're one smart cookie!"

Grace: "I'm a cookie?!"


(More updates and pictures to come...soon!)

Tissue paper, church, and fallen leaves

Sorry it's been a little while since we've posted. Life is busy around here, besides the fact that the dial-up connection isn't great, and I can't get on the computer a whole lot. There are my excuses! : - )



Luke's coworkers were very generous and gave us some great gifts after Ava's birth, including a pink puppy just like Grace's lambie and Caleb's blue puppy! She sleeps on it in her crib...Anyway, included in these gifts was a whole LOT of tissue paper! The kids had so much fun playing in it. A friend visited while it was all over the place, and I believe she said, "It looks like your house barfed tissue paper!" This is Grace enjoying being buried by tissue paper.



And Caleb loved it, too! Doesn't he have the sweetest smile?



And this is a picture of Ava's first Sunday at church. She actually made it to two Wednesday night Family Nights before getting to go to Sunday church. (The first time she went was when she was just two days old!) Someone did refer to her as a boy, because her sweater was blue. Never mind the frilly dress! Phooey!



And here is the sweetest picture of our two daughters. It's a pretty clear picture of Ava - so you tell me, who does she look like? (I get asked this all the time, and I have no idea who she looks like!)



Last week sometime (I have no idea when, because I have basically no memory capacity right now. I can't even remember my name sometimes!)...Anyway, last week sometime we spent some time playing in the leaves. Fun!



Smile!



Baby Ava's first time in the leaves.



My boys playing catch. Caleb has a good arm! : - )


Life has been going well in the Rumley household. We're learning to be a family of five, and even surviving the necessary errands. I went to WalMart with the kids (without Luke) and it was great!(Knock on wood.)

Ava had a great night a couple of nights ago where she fed at 9:30pm, 3:30am, and 9:00am. It was glorious. It hasn't happened again yet, but I'm hoping it will soon!

New things in Grace's life...She can sing the whole alphabet song. And she likes to answer the phone. (Just ask Grandma Rumley. She's been on the other end of that a couple of times!)

Caleb is still trying to talk, but now he can say "baby" and "blue" and "ball" along with the old "mama" and "daddy." He must be stuck on the "b" sound.

Ava's awake and crying now, so that must be all for this post. Have a great weekend everyone!
