Wes has been working on the flower beds. He has mulch in the beds lining the driveway and sidewalk. He ran out while doing the bed in front of the house, so we went and got more today from Wal-Mart. He also got some landscaping timbers, so we can finish the beds in the back that we started last year. He also got mulch to go in those beds. Emma Grace and I have been walking while he does this. I would try to help him, but the mosquitos are out and they might eat Emma Grace up. If it were in the day, it would be so bad, and as long as we are walking, they don't seem to bother us. However, when we stop they seem to be around. Emma Grace loves walking around the neighborhood. She doesn't miss anything. The neighborhood walks will be what I will miss the most about living here. Emma Grace is sort of crawling. She scoots on her belly to get things. She raises up likes she wants to crawl, but then she goes to the belly and gets where she wants to go. She loves jumping in her jumper thingy. I thought she was going to out the window today. She is starting to talk a little, but most of the time we cannot understand her. She is saying dadada more, and you can ask her if she is a good girl and she will say “good gurl”. She loves music, and she loves to rock from side-to-side when she hears it. She even will sing/hum herself to sleep. We got her pictures today from Target that we took while we were in Houston. Mr. Hector takes the best pictures. Speaking of pictures, I will call today about getting her nine month picture taken. I cannot believe it has been nine months, since she came into this world. Everyday has been a challenge, but a glorious one. I don't know what we would do without her. She is certainly heaven sent even though she is pulling my hair right now. If you notice the time of entry, it says 2:00, that is a.m. She is WIDE awake. She went to sleep around 10, but woke up when I went to the computer room to watch the video of Wes' bday party. I guess she heard all kids talking on it. I guess that is all for now. My brain is kind of tired. Wes just told me he put some pictures up, so go enjoy.
