Tar!

Most of you are probably confused by the blog title. Well, it comes from Judah's new favorite toy, his guitar. But he just calls it a "Tar!", and always says its name very excitedly and high pitched, like you might call someone's name when you're really happy/surprised to see them. Judah loves to play his tar, usually using another toy to strum (last night his pick of choice was one of his stacking rings). But he also loves to let Adam and I play the guitar. Adam actually sounds pretty good on Judah's guitar, even though its a little out of tune. My guitar playing, however, is a totally different story. Typically I just strum as hard as I can on the thing.. but Judah loves it! I think he's going to be a musician!

Looking for a Hobby

As if I need more to fill my time :). But I am looking for a hobby. I want to make sure I'm using my time wisely and frankly I can't read all the time. There's just some days I need something else to fill my time with (and no I'm not ready for baby #2). So I've been thinking of hobby's lately. Here's my thoughts:

1)Blogging - but my life just isn't really that interesting and we've all seen I'm not so good at this!

2)Sewing - I think I could talk Adam into buying me a sewing machine. Honestly I'm afraid of sewing across my finger though!

3)Scrapbooking - ....I just don't think this is my thing!

4)Extreme Couponing - couponing just kinda stresses me out though.

So now I need to take a poll. What do you guys think? Which hobby seems to suit me best? Any other hobby ideas I didn't mention? Or do you think I should just focus on growing in Godliness :)?

We miss our friends

It's been almost two weeks since they left, but life has finally died down enough for Judah and I to realize how much we are missing our friends the Perreault's. When I brought Judah downstairs on the first morning after they left town he looked around the room just waiting for someone to greet. Thankfully we picked my parents up in San Antonio the same day, so he wasn't too stricken with grief. Nonetheless, we miss you Anya, Jude, and Lilia. Here are a few pictures of the stinkers :).


They were playing King and Queen!




Giving Mrs. Anya a big hug goodbye. He gave Jude and Lilia a big hug too but I wasn't fast enough to catch those on camera.

More pics from San Antonio

Some say I've been neglecting the blog... here's an effort to post more :)

San Antonio

My parents flew into San Antonio last Friday to come visit us! We were excited to have them here and to get to see San Antonio for the first time. The river walk is really fun. The first night we ate at a great Mexican restaurant on the river. Judah loved the mariachi band that came to play on the patio of the restaurant. Here's a video of when they played to Judah... he definitely liked them better when they were further away.
