Camp Life

It has been awhile since I've been able to chat much here on this blog. However, we have been very busy at camp for quite a few weeks now. We are leading worship for an awesome camp called Barefoot Republic. We do absolutely love it. Although I can't say it's been too easy with a baby to keep up with.

The campus of Barefoot is brand new and we just officially launched our first summer on the new campus. It is a gorgeous place (way out in the middle of nowhere); close to Scottsville, Kentucky - the founding home of Dollar General. :) We hardly ever get a cell phone signal and there is one building where we can get internet. Most of the time when I am in this building, I have Jrew on my hip or at my feet. However, this sweet young man named Howard has really been a big brother to Jrew this week and is playing with him at the moment. Uh-oh- here comes Jrew right now.... must post quickly... whew... he's off to play again.

I have so many stories to tell and many posts to come next week. For now, here is an amazing pic my friend Kimmy took of Jrew and Daddy playing!! :)

Love you all.

Dita

I will upload and post pics sometime this weekend or early next week, I promise. I have a lot of posts sitting in the inbox in my head. :) So, I'll leave you with one picture of my sweet darling and daddy

First Steps

This post is short... I am sorry. I just wanted to let everyone including our families know that Jrew took his first steps yesterday!!!!! He did it with me and then again later for Thomas. I am soooo proud of him. Now, here's a picture to celebrate. PS - More pics from our St. Louis trip coming soon! :) There's lions, and tigers, and bears... oh no!

My Sweet Darling is nearly 11 months!

This is my brother, Jon. Jrew was able to meet him for the first time back in April!

This is Jrew and Papa Mike. My daddio! :)

Sorry, the pic is sideways.. kind of like my life story. LOL

My beautiful darling!

I call him "Sneaky-Poo". Not sure why....but he's my sweet sneaky.

Here are some pics of Jrew's first ride on the carousel. My friend Megan took pics and she posted them on Facebook as well. However, some of you may not have seen them on Facebook. (like you mama)

So here they are: I love the sparkle and wonder in his eye. I don't think I'm even making up that part either. :)

Father's Day Smile

More pics are coming... here is one from today! We printed it on a homemade card for daddy and traced Baby Jrew's hand. Rephrase: We traced Baby Jrew's wiggly hand. Enjoy! My baby is growing up soooo fast.

Did you know...

* Jrew is very adept at pulling up and is beginning to try out cruising.
* Jrew is now saying "Dada", "Mama", "Hey" (sometimes), and "Ba Ba" (no meaning yet)
*Jrew is feeding himself a lot of finger foods including ham, cheese, and fruit.
* Jrew is going to be 10 months old in 3 days!
* Jrew is going to be a BIG BROTHER this December!!!!
Yes. You read that right. Surprise! We are so excited. We are due December 12, 2009. I am officially 13 weeks along tomorrow and OUT of my first trimester. CRAZY. I have had a wonderful experience so far. I'm obviously tired all of the time, but school is out for the summer now, so that should get better.
And just in case you're wondering... Yes, we did tell Jrew the good news too so he can be prepared.

Love to you all! :) A pic of our unborn sweetie to come soon! (When mama gets around to scanning it.)

Jrew is Successful with Stairs...

Yes. You read correctly. He has attempted them several times. This time, however, he was successful. Aiii-yii-yiiii!. See for yourself. My editing skills were slacking tonight, so be patient... climax is at the end!!!
