Family Vacation

I am a teacher in one of two year-round elementary schools in Columbus. I love it! One advantage is a three week vacation in the fall - my favorite time of the year. Phil and I are both lovers of nature, so one of our favorite places to visit is the Hocking Hills area. We go two or three time a year, and each time we have found different cabin to stay in. We even got married there! Rain or shine, hot or cold, we always are blessed to be a part of God's beautiful creation. This time was no exception - especially with a new little guy to share it with. With Andrew in our backpack, we hiked through three or four of the many parks and trails in the area. Even though it rained much of the time, we still had a great time. Andrew loved being toted around on our backs, and was so comfy in his Snugli backpack, he even took a nap or two as we were hiking along. Hope you enjoy the photos from our family vacation!

GROWING AND GROWING!

Andrew is 6 months old this week! He is sitting up on his own now, is doing well on cereal and vegetables (he loves squash!), and is starting to rock back and forth on his hands and knees. I am surprised everyday by how content he is to just sit and play with his toys on the floor. Here is a picture of our happy little guys with some of his favorite playthings. We are so blessed!
