sghetti.

lane had his first spaghetti meal. yum yum yum and so much fun. he loved picking up the little pieces. we thought he was really eating a lot so we just kept giving him more, not until we pulled back the chair that we saw 99% of it on his lap. oooh well, it was fun.

around the table.

lane's newest "thing" is reaching to his head when you ask "lane, where's your head?" he had just too much fun playing this little game with grandma gwen.
this is one of my most favorite pics lately...




lane loved having a dog to share his pirates booty (puffed popcorn) with! ginger is instant entertainment for lane.

"doggie want some?"

yes...this was after he was letting ginger lick his fingers and yes...his fingers are in his mouth and yes...ginger is licking his high chair tray.

yum!

every wednesday since we've been in colorado, we've gone to chick-fil-a for supper. so good.
vance: chicken sandwhich, sweet tea
celine: chicken noodle soup, sweet tea or lemonade
lane: cheerios

arrived.

well, we're in colorado. all our of belongings came sunday morning and filled the garage and house with boxes. soooo many boxes. why do we have so much stuff? half of our belongings are in storage and we still have too much stuff. insane. having someone else box up your house has been just weird. things have been boxed so randomly. we have yet to find any bed sheets. today i found the radio which was a exciting because we haven't had cable or internet so it's been very quiet in the house...lane doesn't say too much during the day. this past week every emotion has been exposed. if we think too hard about where we are in life, it almost starts to hurt but then we see our smiling boy and are quickly reminded that yes, life is good.

today as i was unpacking a box i found this
on a post-it note from a few years ago,
so thankful for this reminder of God's promises...


"here mom and dad, i've got the keys to the house"

we've been so tired, just exhausted. lane could sense my lack of energy the other morning and was content to lay back and relax on the couch.

cuteness.

playing with his new toy or my old cell phone that was washed in the wash machine. ecks!

woohoo, the toy box was found! he's also doing his most favorite thing in this picture, besides playing of course....waving!

done.

well, the house is packed and on its way. didn't take too many pictures because emotions may have been getting the best of me....


one final nap in his bedroom.

all of our belongings written out on paper.

vance's final ride through the neighborhood...this was after he rode his dirt bike through the neighborhood as well.

tape.

lane thought this was a good idea for a little while...

gpa.

hey buddy buddy buddy...
