Oh How the Time is Flying By!

Have you wondered what we have been up to lately?  I've been trying to figure that out myself.  Ha!  It has been a whirlwind of day to day living, and absorbing everything I can with Pecan.  It is amazing how quickly time passes!

My last post was April 19 which means it has been almost three month.  In that time, Pecan's vocabulary has skyrocketed!  She says mama, dada, Jesus, cat, dog, cow, papa, more, finish, wa-wa (water), night-night, frog, car, door, and shoes.  Oh how she loves shoes!  I believe that is a sign of what is to come.  She knows what sounds a cat, dog, cow, and car make.  She smacks her mouth when you ask her about a fish, because she is trying to mimic us making a fish face.  In the morning, we look in the mirror, and say "Jesus loves me".  When you ask her what an elephant says, she throws her hands in the air and tries her best to say "Roll Tide".  I know there is so much more, but I'm drawing a blank which is why I shouldn't wait so long.  :-)

Since April, we went on our first family mission trip with our church to Arlington, Texas to work with Mission Arlington.  What a blessing it was to serve with some many wonderful families, youth, and church staff, and you can see the highlight video here.  I have been on many mission trips before, but this was our first one as a family, and I cannot wait for the next one.  In the meantime, we are praying God shows us where He wants us to serve right where we are.

Pecan has started Kindermusik, and she loves it!  She loves music and dancing, and if I wrote this based on last week's class, you would see just how much she loves music and shoes.  She liked dancing to the music, but almost spent the entire class trying to put her shoe on.  She is one determined little girl.

Last week saw us take another huge stepping stone.  Pecan had her first hair cut which I would like to thank Jennifer at Spa Mia Bella.  All was good in the world as long as we had something to eat, and she ate everything in sight.

 Now we can't leave Sunshine out with his first shampoo and cut at a spa.  :-)

And this is where she wanted to hang out during that time...

Isn't she adorable?

I think that has caught us up for a while.  Today is was a big day for someone, so maybe I'll elaborate on that tomorrow or maybe I'll even expand on some of the things I mentioned above.  Who knows...Happy Tuesday evening!
