This blog is dedicated to my Uncle Will who despises peas. He has a great story about upperclassmen at the Air Force Academy making him finish off a whole plate of peas.

Yesterday dad fed me peas for the first time mixed with rice cereal. I really liked it. Uncle Will, pease are not so bad. Mom fed me more today. I am doing better on my eating. Today I ate a whole bowl of peas and rice cereal, a third of a jar of banana baby food and about 2 tablespoons of fresh avacado from El Fenix (I ordered off the menu for the first time).

Mom has a new trick to get me to eat. Since we think I may be teething, I like to chew on the tray of my high chair. When I look up, my mouth is open and she gets a quick spoonful in. Mom is so tricky.

Katherine ready to party

We have really enjoyed our Sunday school class, the Legacy class for almost four years. It started one week after we got home from our honeymoon. It has been a great blessing for us as we got involved in the lives of other young couples. We started as a group of couples who had been married a shor time and there were no kids yet. People have moved and new people have come. A BUNCH of kids have been born. It has been a great source of encouragement, fellowship, accountability and growth.

The church is moving in a new direction, focusing on small groups rather than Sunday school classes. So, Labor Day was the last day our class met. Now we are divided into four community groups. I won’t lie to you, this has been a hard change for us. We were very frustrated at first. I don’t like change and this has been such a huge part of our marriage that I hate to see it end. I think the thing that I am most sad about is that there are a number of couples that we will no longer see as often. We will continue our monthly pot luck and praise gatherings though. We are very excited about our new community group.

We had a cook out to celebrate the class. It was so fun as I watched all of the kids running around and all the adults fellowship and play volleyball.

Legacy Cook Out

Get me out of here!!

to move the crib down a notch. Katherine woke up after less than a 30 minute nap. She was crying quite a bit, but I thought she should continue to sleep. Then her crying woke up Sammy in the other room. So, I went to get Sammy and my mom went to get Katherine. Mom found Katherine sitting on her knees, holding on to the rail, screaming. Look at how red her face is in less than five minutes of crying. So, Sam’s project for tonight is to lower the crib mattress so that Katherine can’t fall out.
