Where is Thumbkin?

So after I made a quick list of the pics I wanted to add into this blog post..... I decided a slideshow would be the best option for this week :-) You know us, always have the camera going!

The first half of last week was pretty routine as far as our activities go. Lynden started rolling from back to front (and Mommy missed it every time the first 2 days, sneaky girl). I still let her lay on her tummy up on the table while Rhea and I eat lunch and today she almost put her head in the tub of sour cream ;-) Another note on Lynden, she officially is a fan of her thumb (or first finger). Right out of the gate Mommy encouraged a pacifier but gosh darn it if she isn't 4 months old and still set on the thumb! She mostly just chews on it rather than sucking it so maybe the appearance of some teeth will fizzle this out. She still takes the pacifier for naps and bed . I know, there could be much worse things so I'm just trying to go with it. Oh, and she found her feet this week too! Busy week for her :-)

Rhea enjoys MUCH pool time and has requested macaroni and cheese for every meal the last 3 days (yes, even breakfast). She loves to have Mommy sing songs all day and she will sing them herself if no one calls attention to it. Or she asks for me to play mucus on the computer (music). We haven't done too many fun art projects lately since we try to spend a good amount of time outside every day.

Thursday was super rainy in the morning so we went out to play in it for a little while, then we drove up to the Museum of Religious Arts in Logan, Ia. They have a display of paintings from Akiane. If you haven't heard of her story, please take a minute to Google it - amazing! She's been given an incredible gift straight from God. Her work was unbelievable. Then that night we went to a BBQ at Joe's boss' house.

Saturday was our nephew Luke's 1st Birthday party. That was a hoot - he really enjoyed his cake!!

Sunday evening Kay made a lasagna and brought it over for supper (my request, she makes the BEST lasagna), Al and Linda joined us and then we went out on the boat :-)

And today (Monday) we went to the zoo this afternoon! Those pictures will have to wait for next week's post.
