A Whole Five Months

It is strange to think that Boaz is already five months old, and at the same time he is only five months. He is beautiful. He is flipping over. He is grabbing whatever he can get a hold of. Laughing, he is laughing now.


Blue, blue, blue. Love those eyes. It is funny how when we are pregnant for all those months waiting to see and know our baby; and then when they are finally here we can not picture them looking any other way.

First Family Car Ride

This is the "Hey Mom, please hurry and come out of the store face".



But Daddy knows just how to fix the problem. What a good Daddy.



I like the look of apprehension in this picture. It is like he trying to be happy with the situation of being in a car seat AND hungry but he just isn't too sure about it all.

Athan is Growing...And one of our dinners. :)

This is his favorite place, the basket where the dvd player and remotes stay.



He achieved his goal. We are trying to teach him "no touch" when it comes to this basket and the remotes. But...for the sake of a cute picture and history I wanted the picture! He is so cute!


~FOOD~

I really enjoy it when others blog about recipes, food, and their family menu. So here is one of our meals. It is a simple one, but healthy and delicious. It is an open face sandwich, hamburger on a slice of my homemade wheat bread, topped with onions and sweet peppers. I ate my burger with salsa and Clay enjoyed his with bbq sauce, and Ellie, beloved ketchup. On the side we have rice with butter and two peeled navel oranges in the bowl. We eat a lot of fruit. My husband loves fruit, I think I have eaten more fruit in the past 3 1/2 years we have been married than ever before. A lot of times I will cut up some apples and an orange, pineapple, grapes, or whatever I have and put the cutting board on the table. Not only can everyone get their fill but it looks lovely as well. We really liked the onions and sweet peppers on top the hamburgers. I doubt this meal cost over $3. Navel oranges are $.99 for a four pound bag.

On a side note, Clay and I watched "Julie and Julia" last night. Some friends from church recommended it. To tell you in one sentence, it is about Julia Child and the beauty and blessing of food. We loved it! It was a very well told story, fun and creative, and inspiring. It will make you want to wear some pearls, a pretty apron and cook, cook, cook! :) I really loved it because I remember as a little girl watching her on Saturdays on PBS. Tonight, go to Red Box and rent it. :)

Enjoy your night and Lord's Day tomorrow!

Be Fruitful from~ Nancy Wilson

I enjoy Nancy Wilson's blog a lot. Not only because she is older and wiser but because she can write on a controversial subject tactfully and gently. This post, in my opinion, is well put and worthy to be read and thought through. If you disagree ask yourself why, and for what reasons. You might find that your reason's for not having babies is selfish, but maybe not. God said children are a blessing (and they are!) but He never implied that His blessings do not come without hardwork and sacrifice. Actually, this really isn't what the article is about, just check it out.
