Little Miss Josie

At 3mo., Josie grows sweeter each day! She just started rolling from her tummy to her back and is trying to roll from her back to tummy. She is growing up way too fast! I'm enjoying her more than I could've imagined. Honestly, I was a bit freaked about the logistics of juggling another baby, not to mention 3 in diapers- but God is good and has blessed me abundantly with the grace I need to get through each day. It sure helps that little miss Josie sleeps 9hrs at night already, Praise the Lord!!!

Future Award Winning Author/Illustrator

Colton's dream is to become an award winning author and illustrator. He makes these "books" ALL....DAY! When we're not doing school or cooking or chores, he's writing books made with a construction paper cover and plain paper on the inside. Usually they have some sort of award or medal on them- Newberry, Coretta Scott King, Caldecott, you name it! This book, "Lucy", is about a girl named Jane, her horse Lucy, and her father who is a pastor (and pictured on the top of the cover- giving a sermon). In the book, Jane and Lucy must save Jane's family. We do get outside to play basketball and go for walks as well- but I'm sure he'd prefer to sit at the table and write :-) How fascinating it must be to live inside Colton's mind!
