I'm looking back through the pictures for the week and Wow! We had alot going on this week! Last week we spent most of it at home, this week there was something going on every day. It has felt like a long week, I think it is just because we had so much crammed into it!

I think she is looking at Isaac in this pick, probably wondering what in the world he is doing.

He was waiting very patiently for his Chicken Nuggets from Chick-fil-A :-)

This pic cracks me up...it's like she's saying "It's mine...all mine!"

Daddy reading Isaac the book he got in his kid's meal.

Going in the wrong way ;)

Mom and Dad stopped in overnight on their way back home to WV. We always love getting to see them and of course the kids get a little extra spoiling :)

Sometimes it's the simple things kids love to play with the most. Isaac loved sitting in this box (with a hat on of course!) while Grandma read to him.

Aaron was able to get the garden tilled a couple of weeks ago. Then while my parents were here, the guys worked hard getting it planted while I was involved in the Ladies Bible Study.

We had 23 youth at our Lock-In Friday night!!! Here is Isaac and Pastor Ryan during the worship service. Isaac loved it! I eneded up staying all night and we put the kids to sleep in the nursery. I might have stayed up all night if I didn't have little ones that would be awake all the next day. So I did get a few hours sleep in the early morning and was able to get a short nap in on Saturday. I still don't think I've fully recovered!

Miriam hanging out before bedtime.

Isaac's favorite meal....pizza!

Here is a little statue that our neighbor gave us when Isaac was born. He had been carrying it around the house lately and calling it "baby". I found the "baby" like this, compliments of Isaac. Later Isaac was carrying it around and accidentally dropped it. Baby is no more ;)

Beginning table foods....she is just growing up way too fast!

Isaac knocked over the gate....again....and here Miriam is trying to pull herself up with it. You can't quite see it the way the light is hitting it, but she is standing up.

She discovered "Tad" this week and loved him!

A little too much fun :-) She just fell asleep in my arms. Thankfully the camera was handy.

Grandma got these fun alphabet flashcards for Isaac at the Dollar Tree. They are on a little ring, so thankfully they all stay together!

They're Here!!
I know, I know, I'm a little weird, but I am so excited. We had done the cloth diaper trial a little while back and were able to go ahead and get them this month. The company I have been going through offers used diapers that have only been used for a couple of weeks. We were able to buy 10!! "Used in Excellent Condition" for a great price! Thank the Lord for his provision even in the little details! So no more buying disposable diapers!! (unless of course we go on vacation somewhere where we don't have access to a washer :-P

Wow! That was alot of pics! My camera is in good working order again, so I guess I'm a little camera happy right now. I figure I will never regret taking so many pictures! I have more from this week, but I think I"ll try and post them at another time! Tot School didn't really happen this week. I also was busy two mornings with planning for the lock-in. We'll work on it this week!

We have been contemplating since before Miriam was born making the switch to cloth diapers. There were some families we know of that use them and love them. At first I was really hesitant, but then I started looking into them and realized that some of them work really similar to disposable (as far as ease of use). So finally last week, we took the plunge. There is a company called Jillian's Drawers that has a 21-day $10 trial for families new to cloth diapers. *(You pay up front for the full package and if you don't like any of them, you send them all back and it has only cost you $10) They will send you some of the more popular brands and styles, all new. You use them for at least 3 full days. Any of the diapers you do not like, you return to the company within the 21 days for a full refund. I am so glad we did this trial. The ones I thought I would really like were in this trial pack, and I did like them, but I found another brand that we liked better. Our pick from the ones we tried were the FuzziBunz perfect fit pocket diaper. The medium size works great with both of our kids, even though they have 2 totally different shaped bodies, and I like the adjustable snaps (vs.the velcro) for both the the thigh and the waist. Isaac especially seems to love the new diapers. I tried the FuzziBunz on him first. Later when I went to put him down for a nap, I went to change his diaper and put a disposable on him, he started crying and fussing and reached for the cloth diaper!! I couldn't hardly believe it! Of course, at the same time, they are unbelievably soft!!
