Horned Lizard

Our Barndominium

Still not 100% complete, but getting a little closer everyday. Brent helped me finish two major things inside now all we have to do is the fenced in play patio for Briggs and the biggie...the yard. I hope to have the sod down by Thanksgiving and the beautiful natives will go in this Spring. Some photos of our open kitchen living area. My favorite part are the mesquite shelves with our bright collection of Fiesta Ware. Brent's favorite feature is his island with his gas stove. He built everything you see in the photos and we love our new home. Other pictures are of our bedroom. We hope you enjoy! It may be a metal building on the outside, but it's our cozy home on the inside. When I get the yard done, the outside will look great!

'bout to crawl

Oh my goodness, how time flies. I keep wishin' Briggs wasn't growing up so fast. We love our little guy.
It's hard to remember what our lives were like without him. This past week and a half his "Fancy" has been
able to watch him. We feel so spoiled, it's been great!!! We hope she can do it more often. That's the hardest thing to deal with is leaving your
child with someone you don't know that well. Then juggling your work and life schedule, knowing that
your time with your baby is all too precious. Enjoy the picture of Briggs cracking up at himself. As soon
as I figure out how to do video, I'll send you the funniest bath time video.

About to crawl...

I'm just trying to savor these moments... Last week Briggs began sitting up fully on his own for long spans of time.  He's becoming very coordinated, grabbing objects, bringing the spoon to his mouth, banging the spoon on objects.  It's soo much fun to watch him.  I think we'll try the pots and pans soon.  I know he will love that.  He also rocks back and forth on his hands and knees.  In a way I don't want him to take that first crawling 'step' because this 6 months has already flown by.  We're having sooo much fun with our little blessing!

Dear Auntie Re',

I know you will love Amelia and Everett as much as mommy and daddy love me. We have so much fun together and I know you will have double the fun with two. We're thinking of you right now as you are probably bringing my new friends into the world.

Love, Briggs
