A concert, some new shoes and cutie patootie is 7 months old

Suzy played her trumpet in the last Lighthouse Christian Homeschool Band concert of the year. It is always amazing to me to hear how much the students have improved over just 9 short months. Owen didn't cry when the strings played this time - (note: this is not a reflection on talent, he also cries when Suz turns the keyboard into an organ :-)

Lily has wanted a pair of Crocs 'forever' but her super narrow feet just won't fit in them... that is until Nanny Elsass suggested Cali Gear by Sketchers! She is super thrilled to have her own pair of bejeweled plastic footwear ;-P Ben is equally thrilled with his spiderman version!

Owen's pic say it all - he is soo cute I could just eat him up! A friend told me she calls babies like him "whipped cream' - so soft and squishy and huggily snuggily...
