Jenna 8 1/2 Months

Jenna is in to EVERYTHING! She loves nothing more than to explore: opening drawers, opening doors, cabinets, pulling up on furniture, violently twisting to get out of our arms so she can MOVE!!! She has developed this little growl noise she makes deep down in her throat when she is frustrated which is not too often except for when she wants to move and can't or is hungry. She slept through the night twice this week for the first time, so that is an exciting milestone. I don't think it will be a reguar occurance, but it was nice. One of the 2 times she slept through, Julianne was up with a bad dream about a tiger, so we got one night with 8 hours a sleep in a row - maybe the first one in years. Jenna is also starting to dabble in table food - tiny bits of banana, bread, pasta, etc and she loves it. We could not get Julianne to eat some ground turkey breast taco meat and Jenna ate it so big sister decided she would try it after all and liked it.

It is fun to see how different the girls are. One thing they have common: both angels.

Posts on our trips to Williamsburg and Houston to see family coming soon....

Spring Events

We had a gorgeous Spring here, but it was too short. It is already 100 degrees, but the Spring was perfect weather. I will say the humidity here is less than Houston so that is nice - I actually want to take walks in the dry heat vs wanting to stay inside all the time, but it is still BLAZING HOT Texas style. Lots of pool time this summer is the key! Well, back to Springtime - we had Ella Grace's dedication in March and it was great. We had a nice fajita lunch at Jenny and Ryan's after church. Ok, so many many people are now saying Jenna looks just like her Daddy. Depending on who you ask, she is a clone of me, Justin, Papa John or Uncle Neal. So funny. Whoever she looks like, she is a precious angel.

3 Girls and a Dad

The honoree, Ella Grace with her parents and grandparents.

We missed Uncle Andrew, but he is serving his country and all.
