A Beautiful Clown

While I was pregnant with Sebastian, my niece Zoey would pray every night that I would "be able to push the baby out good."

Shortly after Sebastian was born, her prayer went something like this...

"Thank you that Audrey could push her baby out good.  She is just the greatest girl, like a beautiful clown." 

Isn't she the best? I think you are just the greatest girl too,  Zoey.

And here is the birthday card Heather (Zoey's mom) made for me...

I love them! Pretty much the best neighbors a girl could ask for.

Food Storage

Ryan does most of the grocery shopping.  Isn't he wonderful? Yes, I know.  Lately, I've been wanting to work on building a three month supply of food storage.  A few days ago before Ryan went to the grocery store, I asked him to keep an eye out for things we buy frequently.  If any of them are on sale, buy a flat.  I was thinking of canned items such as chicken stock, or cream of mushroom soup, etc.

Ryan came home with this...

Next time I will be more specific.  In the mean time, we have lots of Pringles.

Sebastian

Sebastian is 9 months old

• Has 2 teeth
• Weighs 22 pounds
• Wears 18 month clothes
• Is such a happy baby...he smiles at everyone
• Loves his big sister, she can make him laugh harder than anyone else
• Loves his jumper and rolling around the living room
• I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him!  He's the cutest little boy I know!

Oh, and he dances

This is where he puts his feet anytime he is in his high chair.

Here goes...

Okay...I've been wanting to start a blog for about a year now.  I keep putting it off because creating a blog has seemed a bit overwhelming.  There are a few blogs I really enjoy reading and there's no way I'll be able to live up to those.  However, I've now come to terms with that, and I'm blogging anyway. Hope you enjoy...

Here are a few pictures to introduce our family.

The day it all began

A few years past and our beautiful daughter, Scout Lyla was born

17 months after that, came sweet Sebastian Eli

And here we are today

So...I'm still trying to figure out how some of these blogging things work.
