Family photos

We had a family portrait session done recently and I just love the way these turned out! It is so rare to actually have pictures of all three of us.

At 11 months, Cadence is still wearing 6 month old clothes and very petite.

Hanging with friends

We really look forward to the time we get to spend with friends from the US. It is such an encouragement to have fellowship with others who share our heart. These are some of the only opportunities Cadence gets to be around English speakers. She loves playing with "Om D",

Joshua, and Matthew,

Stephen,


and "Aunt Kathy".

Villa Agung April 2011

This video was made specifically for Mae Mae. Sorry the video doesn't last long enough to enjoy the lapping of the ocean for an hour. Still one of my favorite spots but we don't actually make it here often enough. Joshua Basha had come to stay with us for 3 days and that is him in the background. We normally put up Cadence's Jump Up and let her jump around.

Toy Box April 2011

She has a toy box full of toys and she chooses the blue diaper disposal bag dispenser. So why do we buy toys for our kids? She is still content with bugs and fuzz and plastic and dirt on the ground. This room is our safe play area for Cadence, but she only likes to be in this room if we are with her.

Everyday life as a mommy

No need to lift weights now that we have an 11 month old!

This is what my life would look like if I had twins.

Cadence pulled over the tupperware shelf at a friend's house.

She is getting an opinion about everything, including picking out her own clothes.

She brings baby with her when she gets up from naps. Daddy will even give baby a few spoons full of babyfood, to Cadence's sheer delight.
