5 months

And we are rolling over!! This morning I put Colin down for "Tummy Time" expecting him to throw his usual fit and he rolled over to his back! I even was able to get him to do it a couple more times so I could video tape him. I found a pic of Alex at almost 5 months and Colin. Alex was still quite a bit bigger which may work out great when it comes to reusing Alex's baby clothes.


Speaking of Alex.... we just got back from Chris' family reunion in IL (we stayed at Abigail's Place.. check it out!) and had a wonderful time. On the way home we stopped at MickeyD's for lunch somewhere in IL. Alex walked in and said, "We've been here before!" He actually remembered that this was the McDonald's we met his Papa and Grammy at over a year ago when we moved up here. He never ceases to amaze me. He definitely has been blessed with his father's memory. I'm so proud of him. The other day he also wrote most of his ABC's. At least 80% of them were very recognizable. I can't wait to teach him how to read. I know he'll love it as much as his father and I do!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Chris started his part time job at Conway Freight 2 weeks ago. It it going well but has taken some adjusting to on both our parts as it is a 3rd shift job where he's on his feet most of the night. He does ok staying awake until the 30 minute drive home so continue to pray for his safety. I do my best to keep the boys quiet in the morning so he can sleep but it sure isn't easy. I'm going to be picking up some more hours in the afternoons at the daycare so that will help as well. The house in Indiana is STILL for sale. We really feel that since God has continued to provide us with the payment each month we are going to keep on paying as long as we can. Our credit score is pretty good and we'd like to keep it that way. I hate to see it sit empty for another winter since we don't have the budget surplus to heat it this winter like we did last year. So please pray that God shows us how to best handle it this winter. Although it is really frustrating that it hasn't sold, we're open to whatever He wants us to do with it. Thanks in advance!

Wow...your boys look so much alike...yet so different! I'm enjoying watching Meredith during the days...she doesn't like tummy time to much either! Actually, I don't think any of mine liked it! ~Jaye~
