The Occasional News

I have had so many posts I have wanted to write, but before I get  around to it, it is old news. We said in our Christmas letter "for breaking news" that you could keep up with us here... Well, maybe we should have said for occasional news :)
We have been having a great summer and enjoying our two precious little ones. We are so blessed! Time has continued to fly by; it is hard for me to believe my Little Man is going to be 20 months old tomorrow and Baby Girl will be 5 months on the 26th!
Shelden is such a great big brother to Jenae and he in return is the light of her world. In the picture below I tried to capture how sweetly Shelden was telling "Naenae" a story, Big Brother looked up just as I took the picture, but I love how it caught her looking up at him listening.

I have been enjoying rearranging furniture the last week. We bought both an entertainment cabinet and a china cabinet on Craigslist for $290! I was so excited to finally be able to display my china.

With getting the entertainment cabinet I was able to fix Shelden more of an actual play room ( just before Jenae was born we had moved his play area out from between the couches to give him more room to play). In doing so you could see toys as soon as you walked in the front door, leaving me feeling like my living room was in the toy room instead of the toy room being in the living room.  I moved my rocker back by his toys so that could sit and nurse Jenae and be near him too. I also moved the baby swing down the wall a little bit, to more the middle of the room so that when Jenae was swinging she could be a part of whatever was going on in the "toy room" or the living room. All in all I am very pleased with how it all turned out!
