One day Israel couldn't find his shoes when he wanted to go outside, and this is how I found him =]

He loves to make convoys out of all his big trucks and hook them together if he can.

Awwwww =]

Whenever we go on a walk, Israel thinks he just HAS to push the stroller --

Big helper --

Rahab having her first bite of food at six months old --

Applesauce is yummy!

Peas . . . not so much --

Rahab and Jamon -- 

Random shots --

I just realized it's been a long time since I put up any pictures, so here goes.

My parents were here a few weeks ago, and my dad got to see Rahab for the first time --

Me and my stinkin' huge younger siblings, Judah, Daniel, and Tori --

Israel recently had his first experience with splashing in a mud puddle; as you can see, he was quite delighted =] I was going to put up a little video clip, but apparently the video department of Xanga is undergoing maintenance and won't let me right now --

Playing in the mud with his diggers; another favourite occupation --

Rahab in her bumbo seat --

Playing games with Papa --

The future coffee lover --

Rahab and her new cousin Decklin, who was one day old here --

Um, I guess that's all for now. I don't really have anything else to say. It's not so many pictures, but I'll upload my videos when it lets me. Have a good day! =]

Does anyone else detest swarms of ants? I mean, I don't have a problem with them OUTSIDE where they belong, but I cannot STAND them in my house. Unfortunately, the company that sprays the outside of our house for bugs, and that guarantees that they will not come inside, is wrong. Because they did come/are coming inside. And it is driving me NUTS! I have put out poison for them and hope that they are consuming it, but I haven't seen any decrease of the population, in fact the horde appears growing.

Apparently, even though this company is supposed to have a 24 hour response time when you call to complain, they are not going to honor that, because I have been told that they will not be here until FRIDAY. FRIDAY!!!!!! And they were called Monday night already. By Friday, I will be a shaking mess of nerves from daily finding ants in my clean dishes and in my CLOSED honey jar.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
