8 months.

Sweet Asher turned 8 months old on November 11. Yes, I'm behind...

He is a busy, busy boy! He scoots (army crawls) everywhere. I regularly find him in the bathroom, down the hall, in the kid's rooms, or in the kitchen (when I'm cooking he always comes to be with me.)

He puts stuff in his mouth. I dug a artificial flower bud out of his mouth, as well as a heart-shaped tag from a beanie baby. 

He loves to eat! He still takes 4 bottles each day and eats three meals. So far he hasn't turned away any food I've offered him.

He is such a mama's boy right now. Like, seriously, if I'm out of sight (when we are out and about), he is very unhappy.

He still takes 2 naps each day and sleeps 11-12 hours at night. 

He likes to "talk" and blow bubbles.

He has one tooth all the way in and I can feel three others ready to pop through. Teething has been hard on him.

He wear's 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers.

Love you, sweet boy!

such a slacker

Wow! Has it really been nearly 3 weeks since I posted?!? We have had so much going on...hardly time to sit down, it seems.

Here's a short update on our life - 

Since Jacob's Pawpaw passed away on the weekend of Jacob's sister's wedding, the wedding was postponed until this Saturday. We have been busy with all manner of things for the wedding, as well as preparing for Thanksgiving and spending time with family. 

Jacob and his team did awesome in the Ragnar race! They ended up finishing as the 49th team out of 250! They also reached their goal of raising $10,000 for the mission in Liberia! So awesome!!

Asher is a busy little man - scooting all over the house and getting into everything!

Levi has entered the "terrible two" stage, but he has a very contrite heart when he is corrected. What a huge responsibility we have to teach and train our little ones.

Lily is such a little mama. She is constantly "mothering" her two little brothers...which is not always appreciated by them! LOL 

I'm spending all my spare minutes working on the quiet books for the kid's Christmas. I have about 3 or 4 more pages (each) to do for Lily and Levi's books and then I hope to start on Asher's book. Asher's isn't going to be nearly as involved as L & L's so I'm hoping I'll get it finished by Christmas! 

I'm hoping things will slow down a little after this weekend so I can get caught up on blogging and reading all your blogs! 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Running for Libera

Please go read this post by my sister. My hubby is part of the team running in this race. Please pray for the team, the race, and the mission in Liberia. If the Lord lays it on your heart to give, we would be so grateful!

Thank you!

In Heaven

Pawpaw went to be with Jesus early yesterday morning. Thank you all so much for your prayers for the family right now. Our hearts are broken because we miss him, but we are rejoicing that he is with his Savior and his dear wife.
