Day trip

When my parents were in town, we drove up to Ft. Pierce to visit with Aunt Anna.  We got to take Annabelle swimming for the first time! She was a little unsure at first, then she seemed to enjoy it!

Quick update

I've been meaning to write on the blog, but it's been a whirlwind of activity in the Stone household. I'll keep it short:

Reno: Not done, but moving along at a slow pace. Before and after pics of the bathroom are coming soon.

Annabelle: She has rolled over three times already! When I put her on her tummy, she can flip herself on to her back:)  She also has been learning sign language.  Every day, I sign mommy, daddy, diaper, milk, eat, happy, play, bath, ceiling fan(her favorite thing to watch), tired, and nap. I've been introducing five new words a day and she watches me and giggles. Gma will be here soon to help her learn more sign language since she is a pro at it!!  And Papa Steve will be here too!! Annabelle is so excited! 

Jordan: He has been such a good daddy and has been taking walks with Annabelle in the evening.  She loves her daddy. Last night, Jordan prayed over me and Annabelle and she was squeaking along like she was adding her prayers. So precious! I love our family:)

Sister: Counting down to Jeanine's wedding! Four more months and I've got so much to do before the big day. It's going to be such a fun wedding and I am thrilled Scott will be officially part of the family!  

Happy July!

updates are fun

I'm not going to talk about the house and renovations even though that has been consuming most of the day and my thoughts. It reminds me of when I was engaged and I was in "wedding mode" without an off switch. Well, I'm in "house renovation mode"...super annoying.

I've been soaking in the theologically sound teachings of Tullian in the flesh. Yes, I get to watch him speak from across the room now instead of listening to him on podcast in Egypt. I can't get enough!!

Annabelle has been keeping me busy.  I've got a pretty good routine for her when we aren't running errands buying things like ceiling fans and insulation. She likes to sit up and enjoy the view. I hold her in a sitting position on my stomach and do crunches and every time my face meets hers she laughs!! I gave her a tour of a kitchen today and she really listened! I saw her reflection in things as I was pointing them out and explaining their use and her eyes were following as I pointed.  She giggled when I turned on the water in the kitchen sink and she jumped when I opened the freezer.  Tomorrow I will show her around the bathroom.

Pics of my sister's bridal shower will soon be making their appearance on the blog and fb.  I can't wait to share those!

Please no hurricanes!

Well, we are off to South Florida to move back near the beach. Annabelle has had quite the story to tell of her first four months of life: Being born in a blizzard in Texas to dodging tornados in Oklahoma...please no hurricanes in Florida! See what I mean?!!



Annabelle and me near the beach last month



We are related for sure!

Bath Time

Annabelle usually screams her head off during bath time, but not today. She seemed to enjoy the scrub down.  This is her right after her bath.  We made it with no tears...until I started dressing her. :(





Look at those chub-chubs!!!
