Life has been a little hectic lately but we have been blessed and doing great! First off Kellen turned 7 months on the 18th and the pictures are getting harder but a lot more funny to take. At his appointment he weighed 16 lbs and things are going well. I can't believe he is already twice the size of the stuffed zebra that he was at one time smaller then!
As you can see in these two pictures he takes no care to the stuffed animal.
Kellen does not like to fall asleep in our arms but a particular lady in our ward just does the trick and he fell right asleep the other day while at dinner. She has the motherly touch!
Obviously this picture needs a little explaining. The wind storm that came through the southern/eastern states did hit Roanoke/Salem area. Luckily we were only without power for 20 minutes but a lot more people were not so lucky and still do not have power and haven't had it since last Friday. Some friends in are currently trying to move and have been without power. That mixed with record high temperatures makes for an uncomfortable apartment and a toddler who won't sleep. So they have been hanging out with us which led to this evening showing of "Baby Signing Time" Kellen loves watching Elizabeth play and its fun to see her sign and get excited about things. Hopefully they get their power back soon but until then we will try and help as we have been blessed to have power. My heart also goes to those who have lost homes in the forest fires in the Colorado and Utah area.
We have been spending a lot of time at the pool and we are slowly getting Kellen to play more in the pool instead of just watching. We will be sad because here in a month we will be moving and won't have access to the pool but once you see the next picture you will understand why we won't be too sad!
While we won't have access to the whole house we are renting the bottom floor. Twice the square footage for only about 90 dollars more. It's gorgeous inside and we just bought a great table to go in the dinning room. Pictures to come!
