Cowboy Alex
It was dusky Christmas Sabbath evening. Alexander was playing in the living room with Mama and Aunt Nancy when a not-so-familiar ‘clip-clop-clip-clop’ was heard coming from around the corner. He turned with all curiosity to see a most handsome young stallion ‘galloping’ across the dining room floor. With three ‘neeeeiiighs’ Continue Reading
(Almost) Ready for Christmas!
First Introduction to the Christmas Tree We’ve really been having a lot of fun this year jumping wholeheartedly into the holiday spirit. We (yes, did you know David is an awesome kitchen assistant??… especially when it comes to cookies) baked seven dozen cookies for the women’s ministries cookie exchange, were Continue Reading
First Snow!
Finally! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We had over 10 inches of snow on Sunday. We did venture out to do some Christmas shopping and Alexander was less than pleased when the blowing, biting wind plucked the blanket off his carrier and nipped his nose. (Though we Continue Reading
Babe to Bethlehem
The other day we took Alexander for little stroll through Bethlehem. Strangely enough it only took about 15 minutes to get there and there must have been something special going on in town because there were so many familiar faces everywhere we turned. It wasn’t until the gossiping salon lady Continue Reading
Cutest Little Cruiser in Town
And he’s off!!!! Well, he’s been “off” for a couple of weeks now and it’s taken us this long to catch up with him on the blog! Alexander is on the move! He now officially crawls fast enough to keep up with the kitty when she’s trying to get away Continue Reading
These are a few of my favorite things…
I suppose that in the delights and wonders of Alexander’s latest doings and discoveries there is a lot of “reporting” to do. Often times- or maybe always- it gets to overshadow the simple, heart-sparkling joys that is really the essence of this whole new world of ‘motherhood.’ I thought I Continue Reading
Little Fruit Monster!
With two new top teeth to show off, Alexander has been delighting his bite with the tasting of “real people” fruits. Yummm! He’s enjoyed cherry (good but messy), banana (one his favorites from papa), apple, peeled grape, and raspberry (not a favorite). We are afraid that he is beginning to Continue Reading
Autumn Bliss
It’s peak autumn in all it’s glory here in Michigan. The leaves and trees are exploding with colors and finally for Serena- sweater season has arrived! Alexander in autumn at seven months old, has been such a treat. Last Sabbath we took a stroll around Hudson Mills Metropark. We felt Continue Reading
let your light so shine
Now Alexander is just a little bubble of sunshine- really he is, almost all the time. But this Sabbath, this Sabbath he was way out-of-control-cute. And maybe we are just crazy parents in love with our baby, but undeniably Alexander is a friend-maker; and at church today, his joy was Continue Reading
First Portraits
For Alexander’s 6 month milestone, Nana and Mummy took him to JCPenney to have some official portraits done. David and I felt like they didn’t quite capture his personality and “typical” self, but any way you look at him- he’s just adorable all the same. We’ve posted a few Continue Reading
