"One Nation Under God"

We are in Gulf Shores with my parents (kelbe) about to head to the beach. Jacob's first time in the Gulf. He's been to SC beaches twice (2m & 11m) He wasn't to sure about the sand and water. So we'll see how he does. He traveled very well. We drove to Auburn Wednesday after lunch. He took a 40 minute nap in the first part of our trip and was awake for about 3 hours. We spent the night in AU then left Thursday afternoon. He was awake the whole 4 hours in the car. We are so blessed to have a wonderful son. He is just full of energy and a joy to be around as he explores his world.

We are so blessed to live in this country and many of us take it for granted. I know that gas prices are high (but as our pastor states it could be worse- some countries in Europe are almost $10/gal). Our country was founded and lead by many men of Faith. God blessed us with this beautiful place and though it will never compare to what I vision Heaven to be, we should be thankful that we live in America during our time on Earth. May god be with you as we American's celebrate our 232 year of Independence.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Summer Update

The first month of Summer is almost over. Jacob is mastering his Walking and Tooth # 4 & 5 has broken through. He loves to clap and has begun to give us high fives. He Loves to climb stairs and pet Maggie & Hersey(our dog & cat). Sami (our other cat) doesn't let him near her. He likes to put things inside other things. Which includes toilettes. Yes he put my cell phone in the toilette. Luckily it was my old one and it so happens that it still works.

He began to say around his 1st Bday 'mama' a little, but mostly 'dada' but hasn't really said them recently. Still not sure if he knows what they mean. He mostly just jabbers and everything is 'ball' though it comes out more like 'baa'. I believe that he is trying to say 'puppy' (he has a stuffed puppy dog that he sleeps with. The joys of having a toddler!
