Welcome , Isaac!

 

This is my new little second cousin (though I consider him more of a nephew!), Isaac. He belongs to my sweet cousin and her husband, Christy and Joe. We love you all, and are so happy for you! I can't wait to meet Isaac in person!

A Trip to the Zoo

We got Zoo Passes! The girls love it, Daddy loves it, and Mommy loves it too! We got to look at the elephant, which is Ruth's favourite (Daddy's too!), and then we took a picture of the girl's outside of the gorilla exhibit! Unfortunately, Daddy was so excited about the gorillas that he couldn't keep the camera steady and the pic was a little blurry. Oh well!

 

 

 

New Toys

 
 
 
 

Ruth is settling in to her new toddler bed that we found on Craigslist (if you haven't checked it out yet, you should!). I wasn't going to push her to sleep in it the first night, but as soon as she saw it she moved all her stuffed animals into it, and laid down with her blanket, sucking her thumb. Needless to say, there was no problem on her part. It's kind of hard to not have her in the crib anymore, though. One, she can get out by herself now, and two, she is just not my little baby anymore (although she's still my precious little girl). Oh well; times are changing in the Morse household.

Sophie and I got a sling two weeks ago, and there's hardly a day that goes by that I don't use it several times. We absolutely love it. She was still not sure what she thought about it when we took the pictures. I think she's spoiled now, though, because she doesn't want to be put down!


We are moving to a new apartment next weekend, if you didn't know. Not what we had intended on having happen, but the Lord's plans are often much different than ours. We know He is Sovreign, and rejoice with hope that He is leading us to a new home, and new situations and relations with people. Pray for us! But expect the postings to slow down for a bit!

Getting the Most Out of Everything

Ruth was really enjoying breakfast


 
 
 

Silly Girl

Our sweet SOphie has turned into quite the smiler and giggler. Today all you had to do was poke her and she started cracking up, which cracks us all up.

 

 

 

Sophie and the Blanket of Many Colors

Who knew Biblical allusions could be so fun?

 

 

 

Catching Up!

We have a much better internet connection now, so were going to try and get you all caught up on the last four months of photos (well, we're going to try, anyways!).

 

 

 

 

The Look

What can you say to that?

 

"Babysitting"

Ruth is babysitting...sort of.

 

The Flower Girl

Last month, our good friends Royce and Kasey had their wedding, and they asked Ruth to be their flower girl!

At the rehearsal, she did a perfect job, walking down by herself and even throwing a few flowers. On the wedding day, it was just a little too overwhelming and she needed mommy with her.


About halfway down, she started to lose focus on the task at hand and veer off to visit with some of the wedding goers. She was just looking for any way possible to get out of having all those people stare at her!


Daddy valiantly attempted get her back on track; maybe, just maybe, she would go on by herself and throw a few of those flowers in the process.


uh oh! Bad idea, daddy.


Finally, mommy had come to the rescue and help Ruth finish her job.


It was so cute, right at the beginning before we tried to get her to go down the aisle, she threw one little flower on the ground. Once she saw how many people there were, she just got scared and didn't throw another one.


We're not so sure that Ruth is all that big a fan of weddings. This was right after the service while the wedding pictures were being taken. I would say that she's had it (of course, the fact that the wedding was right during Ruth's nap didn't help any!)


Congrats Royce and Kasey on a beautiful wedding!
