Pictures from the Farm Show

Here are the pictures from the Farm Show! Sorry it took so long! Our computer is dying and after it shuts off for the 100th time, I just give up trying to upload pictures!!! :)

We went with our good friends Dan & Amy and Tim's sisters, Rachel & Abigail. We had a great time!!! Especially searching for the Turnips!!!!!

Here's Dan, Tim and Nora next to a BIG TRUCK!!! Such boys!!!

Here everyone is...the best part of the show...FOOD!! Amy had her FIRST EVER Farm Show Milkshake!! Yummy!
Nora's VERY happy to get her Peacock Feather!! Tickle Time!

Here's some cute pics of the new hatchlings!!


We finally got to see the Ducklings go down the slide! We always seem to miss it.

Nora's not so sure about the ducks and chickens. A note to Brian: the Poultry Room just WAS NOT the same without your God given ability to sound like a Rooster/Chicken!!!!!! I missed it.

Here's Nora petting a bunny...and making a new friend!
The Stroller was a waste! She wanted to walk like everyone else!
Here's the LONG wooden Canoe that I remember getting into when I was little!
Daddy and Nora looking at Snakes and Reptiles
Nora checking out the Turtle!
She wasn't sure about the skunk...I wasn't either!!!
MMM...Cotton Candy!
Aunt Rachel bought Nora a cowgirl hat! Nora LOVES HATS!!! We found the turnips in THIS room...go figure!
Abby, Rachel and Nora Nora...begging for Daddy's Cream Soda
Nora "tickling" Amy with her Peacock Feather! Nora's turn!
Now she's "tickling" Dan
Time to get Daddy!
Amy and Nora!

Happy Valentines Day!

Here's Nora having a blast making her Valentine's cards! I bought some finger paint and she painted about 10 pictures! She loved it!! We'll definitely be doing it again soon! She may look like she's concentrating too hard, but she really is having fun!

Life

So, here's a bit of what we've been up to. Nothing extraordinary has been going on.

Tim's been working a lot of hours at Staples. His current boss is a bit crazy (in my opinion!!) So, Tim never seems to get away from work. So, he's looking for other options. Please be praying that God would provide him with a different job!

Nora is doing new things everyday!! Last week I bought a potty! I'm being pretty casual about it right now, but the 2 days that we worked at it, she went! The 2nd day she told me 3 times that she had to go! She did a great job! The idea still freaks her out a little, so she sort of fusses and laughs at the same time. It's pretty cute!

She's talking more and more! Here some of the words she says:
Mommy
Daddy
Poppy
Mimi
"Tizzy" (Lizzy)
Cole
"Kai" (which means Spencer, the only thing we can think of, is that she watches Caillou and Cole and Spence do look like him!!)

Abby (both Rachel AND Abigail are Abby!!)
Potty
Pee-Pee (what do you tell kids to say when you are getting them to go???)
Night- Night (she says this in a peculiar manner! It involves a kissing sound!!)
Ball
"DE" (TV)
Juice
"Peas" (Please)
"Tang Tou" (Thank You)
"Eat-eat!" (she always says this when she's hungry)
Hat (she LOVES her hats!)
Puppy
"Crackey "(Cracker and Cookie Combination)
Bye
Baby
Shoes
Eye
"Quacky" (Duck)
Amy (this has TWO meanings! Amen...and our dear friend Amy!)
Car

Anyway, here's a video from the Farm Show. It's very cute! I'll put pictures from the Farm Show soon.


Here Nora is begging for Daddy's Cream Soda!!

Steven and Rachel's Wedding

January 5, 2008

It took me a while, but here are the picture from our trip to Charleston, WV for Steven and Rachel's wedding. It was fun to spend some time with Steven and Rachel (for a little bit! She was busy with the final touches for the wedding, of course!) Here's a sample of my pictures.

This is on our way to Charleston, WV
