Oil Ranch '08

Will, Carissa and I went to the Oil Ranch with our Sunday school class mom's group. They have a train, hay rides, petting zoo, cow milking, pony rides, a bounce house and a pumpkin patch. The bounce house was one of Will's favorite things. One time he jumped too close to the door and fell out right on his head. I had Carissa in the baby carrier so I couldn't jump to his rescue. By the time I bent down, he was on his feet looking a little dazed and confused. I asked him "How do you feel?" I think since I didn't make a huge scene or fuss over it he just smiled and jumped right back into the bounce house. That kid has a hard head

7 months

At about 7 months (at the end of September), Carissa started to get up on all fours. She liked to get up on her toes and hands. Every now and then she would lunge forward to get somewhere, but she wasn't actually crawling. Big brother Will always makes sure she has plenty of obstacles to master as she tries out her new skills. I'm sure he's just trying to make her become the best crawler ever!

September Vacation to Arkansas

Sorry it has taken me so long to post. We went to Arkansas at the beginning of September and at the end of the vacation Hurricane Ike was about to make a visit to our neck of the woods. We extended our stay a little. We had some damage from the storm, but nothing compared to the damage a lot of others sustained.

The vacation was a lot of fun. It certainly is different with children. It was great to get away and be with Brad for a full week without him having to go into work. I wouldn't really call it a restful time in the sense of sleep, but it was good to be out in God's creation and to slow down from every day life.

Here is a slide show from our time
