Clap Clap!

OK, so there is not much to this blog post except this video. I suppose that is OK though since most of you who check our blog just want to see videos of Adam anyways. Well, we are happy to oblige.

Here is Adam in Pittsburgh, PA for Christmas. He loves to clap his hands and knows the word. When we say "clap clap" he starts to clap. Also when we sing "Clap your hands all ye babies, shout to the Lord with a voice of triumph" he starts to clap as well. He is learning so much! He does have a ways to go in the coordination department though. We thank God for him every day!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!!!!

Well, we had a wonderful Christmas celebration at Stephen's parent's home. Dan and his family were there, as well as Kelly. It was great time! We had a huge feast and then opened presents. Stephen's nephew Aaron read the Christmas Story. Kelly had her photography gear with her so she was able to take a family portrait for us. It looks great! Adam had everyone laughing because he was squealing with joy playing peek-a-boo during the photo shoot. He is so much fun and we thank the Lord for him every day.

We are heading up to PA to celebrate the birth of our Lord with Sarah's family. We are hoping for a white Christmas...it seems likely!

God Bless and have a joyous Christmas!

Stephen, Sarah, Adam and Baby

So much to be thankful for!

Sorry that it's taken so long to update you all on the recent happenings in our lives. We hope that all of you had a Thanksgiving full of fun, food and fantastic fellowship! Ours was an extremely blessed weekend. As always around this time of year, I was reminded of the goodness of our Lord and how He has done exceedingly abundantly beyond what I could ask or think' in my life. I know that I am undeserving of such grace, yet God has chosen to continually shower me with blessings. Not the least of which is choosing to grant us a new addition to our little family. Yes, that's correct. We are expecting baby #2 in June! June 28, 2008 to be exact. We are soooo happy, although a slight bit shocked. :) In case you're wondering, Adam and this new baby will be about 15 months apart. I am 11 weeks along and feeling great! God has been good to me, in that I never experienced morning sickness with either pregnancy. Please pray for us as there are about to be many changes taking place in the next year. Not just the new baby, but a potential move is also something we are looking toward in the next few months. We would love to hear from any of you if you have a chance! Here are just a few newer pics of Adam, as well as one of the new baby: :)

Adam Crawls!

Here's the proof...Adam is crawling! He has been attempting to crawl for a few weeks now. He has been sitting, then sort of tipping over in the direction he would like to go. Well, on Friday, he figured out how to put one hand in front of the other to move a bit further. Then, he figured out how to move his legs. I guess we will have to baby-proof the house now...there's a baby on the loose!

More Video!

OK, we heard a lot from our friends and family about how much they liked the video of Adam. Well, here are three more short clips. Enjoy!

See what Adam can do!

Last week Adam started doing this......

Enjoy!

Our trip to Chocolate World!!

Two weeks ago, we were able to join Sarah's parents and sister, Rachel in Hershey, PA (thanks to Dan & Mary Lou for the amazing place to stay!) for an extremely enjoyable time of relaxing, enjoying each other's company, eating, and especially loving on Adam...he had such an incredible time! Those grandparents and aunt of his sure do know how to spoil us! It was such a wonderful time, I didn't want it to end. Here are a few pictures of the weekend. There were soooo many, it was hard finding only a limited amount to share, but here are some of the favorites:

Adam trying to chase his rolling ball...

Bathtime in the kitchen sink!

This is one of my favorites...especially with my mom and dad looking so sweet in the background...
