Buddy arm

We visited my friends from college...Shari and Cheston and Chiara and their son Waylon were playing together so nicely!

Chiara put her buddy arm on him as they pushed stereo buttons

1 year dress

Even though Chiara has a month before she will be 1, we took a pic of her in my 1 yr dress to make sure she would fit into it. Marc is so awesome and talented he put a photo of me 29 years ago in my 1 year dress together with the photo of Chiara in my 1 year dress.

10 months!

Chiara is 10 months now...has 4 teeth and loves to stand up on stuff and play with door stops :)

9 months now

Chiara is now 9 months...8 months went by fast! We've been so busy with the new school year it passed us by! She stands up on things, is cutting an upper front tooth and claps her hands. There is a pic of the pumpkin and cantaloupe we grew. The pic of us 3 is from my mom's memorial.

Chiara at 7 months and Summer projects

Chiara is now 7 months old. She is still as happy as ever and very talkative (baby talk). She says "dadada" and what sounds like "hi". She continues to bring so much joy and is our sunshine. We also had our first photo shoot as a family. I was in a wedding and got to see some friends from college. We finally got to meet Charlee Paige and we had Chiara baptized with her cousin.

We have undertaken a number of projects this summer. Marc painted the kitchen and cabinets and put in new hardware to update its look. I sewed throw pillows and painted frames for Chiara's room that hold her sonograms.

Our garden has grown tremendously and we are having fun eating from it! We look forward to when our pumpkins are ready and are going to be planting winter squash and zucchini in the Fall. Right now we are growing more herbs from seed and waiting for our asparagus to be edible.

It's time to be starting the new school year and God has provided us a baby sitter for when I go back to work part time. We are thankful for that! Enjoy all of the photos.

Logan and Charlee attended Chiara's baptism.

Before and after of our garden, the frames I painted...I don't have a before of the kitchen it seems.

In Loving Memory of My Mom

1 Thessalonians 4:13 (The Message)
13-14And regarding the question, friends, that has come up about what happens to those already dead and buried, we don't want you in the dark any longer. First off, you must not carry on over them like people who have nothing to look forward to, as if the grave were the last word. Since Jesus died and broke loose from the grave, God will most certainly bring back to life those who died in Jesus.
