Lawson; a baby type guy

Roughly March through July:

Climbing

So Lawson now likes to climb onto and into all kinds of things…

 

Big Guy Shoes and Home Made Yum

Just a little note here on life in Indiana. It’s getting cold. It’s about to be gorgeous with all the leaves falling. We’re still pretty desperate for work but school is going well. Naomi’s loving kindergarten and all the new friends and experiences there; Carly’s loving mommy life and lots of time with Lawson; and I get a free New York Times every day of the week. We’ve recently implemented a “movie night” Friday due to a great program at our local Blockbuster wherein we bring in a church program to secure any movie of our choice in the family section. It’s rad. We don’t have cable so it’s a good way to relax on a weekly basis. The Friday night festivities now include home made pizza which Carly just learned how to make (which is really incredible), and popcorn during the movie. Below are some pictures of the Little guy in shoes for the first time, the aforementioned hand crafted pizza and one very ridiculous chocolate fudge cake with butter cream frosting and chocolate ganache glaze. It literally fed our family and every person we know in our neighborhood (which is 5 different families). After all that giveaway I still feasted on cake for like 4 days solid afterward.

 

                                    

Strange Baby

So Lawson LOVES lemons. Seriously, we gave him a taste expecting him to make a funny baby face, and this is what happened....

I hate Blogger!

All I have to say is that I suck at blogging! I spend FOREVER trying to get my entries lined up the way that I want, and I preview it a million times. Then I post it and it looks like garbage, and it's all messed up. I'm sorry to express my anger this way, but I just finished publishing the messed up post below and I'm very irritated!

Rockford Trip

In June, my mom flew up to Indiana and then drove with me and the kids up to Rockford, IL. We had a great time visiting with family and were especially excited to see Nolan, my new nephew. Sadly, Jamie was not able to make the trip with us.

This picture is of Naomi and Lawson with their new baby cousin Nolan. Notice Lawson and Nolan's closeness in height. Lawson is 7 months and Nolan is 2 months.





You can only imagine how excited Naomi was to hold this little guy.













Here is Lawson at the hotel sitting in his pillow fort, happy as always.














My brother Sean's school choir made these cute floral crowns for a fundraiser, so Grandma Copeland made sure to get one for Naomi.

My dad is asleep in the background; pretty much anytime he sits down in that chair, he falls asleep.











Here is my brother, Chip, practicing his uncle skills.
