Well, she is 6 months old now!  I can’t believe how fast it’s going…and with her sitting so well and now pulling up on her knees so early it’s going by even faster!  I’m actually discouraging her from moving, lol!  She weighs in at 17.95 pounds and is now 27 inches long!

And this is my mini me!  He is officially a kindergarten graduate!  I can’t get enough of this guy.  He is so funny, and he loves to cuddle as much as he loves to wrestle!

I am so glad I got to meet Michelle.  She is sweet, kind, funny and has always got a smile to give!  She has been living here in Arkansas all school year as part of an exchange student program.  I’m sure her family and friends have missed her terribly, but I am also sure the people that have gotten to know her here will miss her terribly!  Michelle, I pray for safe travels back to Indonesia.  Hopefully our paths will cross again.  Beth, thank you for thinking of me and for opening up your home to not just her, but other exchange students as well!  It takes a special family to do this.  xo

I met this mom over a year ago, about the time I found out I was pregnant with Clary.  She wanted to take some private camera lessons, and one lesson has turned into several mentoring sessions.  We have had fun getting to know one another.  I love how much she goes after learning photography.  She wants to learn as much as possible and work hard on this so that when her husband’s job takes them back home to Chile she can start her own business.  Apparently portrait photography is not as popular there…which is crazy with such a colorful, fun, warm place like Chile.

So here she is, ready to have baby boy #3 any day now.  I can’t wait to meet him!  If he is 1/2 as handsome as his brothers you’re in for a treat!  🙂

We went to the pool today.  It was Clary’s first time in a pool!  She LOVED it.  I meant to take my big camera for the milestone, but alas, I forgot.  I was able to get some underwater fun shots thanks to my son’s LifeProof case.  Not too shabby…

What a difference six months can make!  It amazing me how we are created.  So much incredible growth in such a small span of time.  Sweet Harper was just wonderful to see again.  She gave us all she had…and then she crashed.  🙂 You can see her newborn post here.
