So here's what we've been up to!

So in the move our table unfortunately was squashed...fortunately, the frame which was metal was not squashed! So trying to be a little crafty to save money we went to Home Depot and bought some wood, sanded it, nailed it together, stained it, and finished it. This is what we ended up with. It's not perfect, but we think for some non-builderish kind of people we did a good job!

James' sleeping schedule has finally settled in. It took a little while for him to sleep through the night after the move. After trying everything, but mostly just from praying really hard, he is finally improving. He sleeps through the night again and his naps are getting much better. Thank goodness! Here is a picture of James after one of his naps. He was just playing...and making noises. I don't even know how long he had been awake by the time I came and got him!


This is a picture of his friend who lives upstairs; I get to watch her once a week. It is funny to watch them play together. Mostly it consists of James chasing her around and her crawling away from him in fear...he's a little rough. Here is him trying to do what she is doing but not really succeeding. Hasn't gotten the idea of a sippy cup yet. :)

Bath time!!



This is a video of James playing the piano, which is one of his favorite toys. If only his arms were a little longer!


This video was funny. James just has so much energy. He is everywhere at once.

James is also making great walking progress!

Your table is beautiful. I'm impressed! I haven't checked your blog for awhile-what a long drive from CA to VA. Wow. It sounds like you are loving it though. I'm glad. Now we love somewhat close. . .

I'm so glad you gusy are happy in your new home. Your table is seriously beautiful! James is such a cutie, and I love the video of him being held by Kyle going crazy. I still can't believe you're so far away and we're not teaching!

Don’t I get any credit for the table for being the one to engineer the destruction of the table top without damaging the frame?

Nice job on the table- almost as nice of a job as you did with James! Make him laugh for me, OK?
