Tighty Whities

And the potty training commences! Just had to show off this little guy in his tighty whities! Isn't he just the cutest little boy! It is hard to believe he is already 14 months old! He is using a lot of signs now...suddenly the light came on! Please, more, thank you, all done, cracker, eat...as you can see they are all centered around food! :) And I have to say that using sign language really cuts down on the frustration and fits that follow that frustration when he can't communicate what he wants! He still says uh as he uses his "words" but I will take it!!
He is such a boy...the other day in the car he belched then proceeded to mimic the sound over and over. Apparently he is quite pleased with his new found bodily function! Oh the joy!

Beautiful Women

When I was up at UW I lived with some amazing girls in an awesome community. We were required to participate in small groups. This group consisted of a mentor from the community and a mixture of girls from the other houses. The group I was in my senior year was particularly wonderful. We still get together...not as often as we would like but we take what we can get.
We all have a common love in life, Jesus. I have learned so much from these women and they have made a huge impact on my life...in college we shared about what God was doing in our lives and it is the same now. With these women there is an unending source of encouragement, love and acceptance. This group was truly a gift from God and I am so thankful for each of these dear sisters in Christ. Our mentors Brooke and Nancy are missing from the picture above...we gathered to celebrate Naomi (middle) and the miracle of the new life growing inside of her.
