Push ups and Log rolls

Speirs is sooo close to rolling over. We are looking forward to that fun milestone!

Hike In Boone

A few weekends ago, Craig and I took a trip to Boone for a night. We were able to spend time with friends, take a short hike to Linville Gorge, and eat at The Black Cat a sweet little burrito joint. Speirs did great on his first hike. He stayed awake while strapped to daddy's chest.

It's not about us.

I came across this today and I thought I would share it. Its from the John Piper's Desiring God blog.

Praise the Lord!

As of Friday, Craig will have one job outside of working with the church! Most of you probably know that Craig has been a work horse since August, when we knew I wouldnt be going back to teach in the Guilford County School System. A new position at Proehlific Park has opened up that offers Craig more hours and a schedule that fits our family so much better and he will be able to focus on working for 1.21! God has been good to us in that He sent Jesus for us, but this is an added bonus!

Also, as of Saturday we will be Winston-Salem-ites:) We will start and finish moving in one day! Hopefully we will have lots of help....and hopefully I will be ready!

Moving Day

So the West family is taking the plunge and moving to Winston Salem sometime within the next two weeks! I am super excited about being closer to our 1.21 family and a few other stay at home mommies. We are excited about being in a house and hopefully we will be there longer than a year! We have moved 3 times since being married and I moved every year in college. Needless to say, it's getting old.

We are praying for job opportunities for Craig in the WS area so that he doesn't have to commute back to Greensboro for UPS and Proehlific Park. A single full time job would be marvelous...anything would be better than the schedule he is working right now. He is spread pretty thin, but has chosen to work two jobs so that I can stay at home with Speirs. I have loved staying at home with the baby and am thankful that he has allowed me to do so!

Grammi's Photo Shoot

My mom came up this past weekend to visit, which worked out nicely so that I could help at 1.21's workday at the new building. Anyhow, she bought a really sick camera this summer at the knowledge of having two grandkids, which we got to play with some on Saturday night. And although having a great camera is....well....great, that doesn't exactly ensure that you will have really GREAT pictures. We are no Katherine Fallis:) Buut here are some of the ones that we did take that I thought were pretty good. And in case you were wondering...they are all of Speirs.

Now and Then

Now...Christmas 2008
And then.....The grandkids at Jamie and Bridget's wedding in February 2006, with baby Devin on the way!

We've changed so much.
