Well, I know many of you are saying, where has she been?!!  I apologize for not updating my blog recently, but a little someone decided to break the usb device which controlled our wireless mouse and keyboard.  Needless to say without those two pieces, the computer is pretty well worthless!  So, I finally got out today to pick up a brand new one!  It has been an extremely busy two weeks....keeping busy at home, baking at the church, meeting up with an "old" friend (Jordan this one is for you...haha) and whatever else seems to be marked on my calendar these days!  If it's not on the calendar or my list to do, it probably won't get done!  Jude has been extremely busy....in fact today I watched him take his first baby steps!!  It's just amazing how he is growing each and every day!! He is almost 11 months (wow!)....where did the time go?  Anyway Aaron too has been keeping busy with the spring house....trying to finish it before winter sets in (and we know in Johnstown, that doesn't take long!)  He is just about done with the main structure and will be ready to start the roof soon!  I hope you all enjoy the pictures.....

Jude and my friend Jordan's little girl Sawyer meet for the first time....

Jordan's little guy Brody enjoyed the playground....this kid has one of the sweetest personalities!!

today Jude and I went outside - I figured it was time to let him play in some of the leaves!

you talking to me?

check out Jude's teeth!  He has about three already....two top and one bottom!

our dear friend Rich came over to the other house while I mowed grass....he really knows how to handle Jude :)
