The Cabin

We took our first trip out of town with Audrey for conference weekend. I thought I would add it seeing as some of the pictures are just too cute not too. We decided to hit up the cabin and see the damage from a pretty snowy winter. Of course it was a blast. Daddy wasn't able to go because of work but we went with Grandma and Granpa and Uncle Peter and Jill and some of our good friends Kallen and Emily and Kennedy. It was just so fun. I am so glad that they could all come and partake of the wonderful blessing of fresh air with us.

Going to the cabin is just the right amount of get away. I love it. And there was just enough snow to build us some pretty dang cool snow creatures if I do say so myself. Enjoy the pictures.

To all of those who have been after my hind end to update the blog here it is.....

Audrey is officially four months old now. Actually 4 months and a week, I am a little behind. She is doing just great. She has rolled over successfully on her own 3 times now and I can tell that she is well on her way to understanding that she has control over that. She laughs the cutest little laugh ever and does so fairly readily for certain things. She has started to laugh a little now when she thinks something is funny or when you are doing something fun with her like see-saw!
She is the greatest little girl ever and I must say that I am very blessed to have such an amazing family. Our other big milestone is that I can now, put her in her crib, let her chew/cuddle her blanket and she will fall asleep completely on her own accord. This is a huge step up from the many crying sessions of swaddling and rocking to sleep that it used to take, although she is lots better at that as well.
We had a little scary moment with a big bout of diaper rash a couple weeks ago, didn't know what it was at first but it all healed nicely. Audrey also got her first cold this month and I must say I am proud to report that I have a trooper on my hands. And although she learned fast to pretty much loath the nose sucker she handled herself very well throughout the unfortunate event of being sick.
She grows cuter and stronger and more of a distraction in church for being so cute and talkative as each day passes. It is hard to believe that she is so big already. It sure is fun though.
Charles is still waiting to hear on a couple different job opportunities and we are still praying fervently to know what our future holds. We are breathing a sigh of relief that this semesters classes are almost over though.
I have had the great opportunity to do lots of new photography jobs this month. It is all very exciting and I have been able to pay for all the necessary equipment for basic photography needs. I hope each of you will take the time to check out some of the things I have done in the last little while on my link to Catch Photography Blog.
Not a whole lot else is happening except for runny noses with joyous spring allergies. We are greatly blessed and I thank all those that love us so much. I still have to take Audrey's 4 month pictures so I will post those soon. But here are some other fun ones.
