We’re off to enjoy the beautiful weather on this Saturday morning. But Nora first wanted to show off her bow and her latest accessory bracelet from her Aunt Paula and Uncle Scott. Today we’re going across the pond to enjoy a big yard sale event in the city. Finally, in one week from today, we’ll be in Atlanta! For three weeks! Cannot wait to see you all! God is good.

And a shot from the other angle.

In town right now!

I love coming home to these kind of make-shift contraptions that Lauren sets up around the house.

On Saturday night we had over a couple from our small group and their 3 month old Savannah Grace.
We’re pleased to report that the two got along just great, as they played on the floor and held hands!

Your serve, ATOTO.

This photo Lauren took really shows off all the intricate little curves on Nora’s little face, and how they all work together.
From her big round eyes, to her cheeks, her little nose, her top lip and chin, her eyebrows… Psalm 139:14 sums it all up.

Remy has taken to laying near Nora whenever she is playing on the floor.

Isn’t that just the cutest bow Panzy brought her?

This is one of those moments I never would have thought about growing up.
I know it’s the natural course of life, but it’s so neat to have brothers that become uncles.

Nora’s been a busy girl! Being her mom and dad is so much fun. You never know what each day might bring with her.  We love seeing all the little things she’s learning to do. Turning her head to face you when you talk to her. Sleeping a little longer at night. (Yahoo! Wahoo!) Tracking Remy with her eyes and smiling at him. Taking a bath and letting the water flow down her face without screaming.  Laughing her tiny little laugh. 

She recently discovered that she has hands. The first few days, she just stared at one of them for a few seconds. You could almost see her thinking and wondering what use this strange thing could be to her. Yesterday she decided that the hand belongs in her mouth. But just when she was about to make contact, her motor skills failed her. And we learned that there are some things we can’t do for her. (In other words, trying to force her to suck on her hand in hopes of teaching the wondrous, elusive process known as self soothing.) It was just one of the many things she has had to learn on her own.
