Zoë is 11 months!

Ok... wow, time is going too fast. Zoë turned 11 months yesterday!! Crazy! Here are some of the things that she is or is not doing:
*says "uh oh"
*"pretend" talks a lot
*sings along with a song by humming and going, "ahhh"
*tries different foods
*smacks her lips when she wants more food
* cruises better along a coffee table
* she just rolled over and over yesterday, back and forth
* walks with you holding her hand
*plays with toys, two at a time
*snuggles
*gives kisses on demand
*picks up her food with her fingers
*points to what she wants and demands
*wants to be picked up and taken where she wants to go. (I think this may be why she does not crawl yet.) :-)

Sweet Blessings

Here we are with the girls we are caring for. It has been such a blessing having them in our home. How awesome to know that God is working all around the world. :-)

We fear that God might actually be enough--and we don't want that--because if He is, all our pet pursuits will be invalidated. ~thoughts of Abram Hagstrom

Pictures from Oregon last summer

This is the front porch of my grandparents house. Isn't it beautiful? My grandma Gloria is amazing with flowers. I enjoy staying here so much! I have wonderful memories of this house.
This is looking out at their garden.
This is the field where they have their cows and the little house is the nut house where they shell and package the nuts they grow.
This is the orchard. Lots of games of kick the can. :-)
This is is part of the flower garden.
Fresh picked berries from the garden! Yummy!
Here is my grandpa Ron with Zoë.
