Gordon is 7 months old and other news

Gordon is growing up too quickly.  He has figured out how to move his body all over the place.  He will probably be pulling himself up all over soon.  He is very determined.  He is still a picky eater.  I think he just has a sensitive stomach.  We have had to limit his baby food intake.  I have been introducing him to solids quite a bit more slowly than the girls because he just gets do constipated with everything and especially the grains.  He will just cry and struggle to sleep.  Hopefully his stomach will get used to food  sooner than later.  He loves sticking his tongue out and getting all the attention he can.   He hates it if I ever leave the room. :) 

Vivian continues to love preschool.  She does well playing with the other kids.   She is mommas big helper at home.

Emma continues to do well at school and received another citizenship award.   It is fun to hear her talk about all the new things she is learning.   She was helping me the other day and had to tell me she was being a good citizen. :)  We continue to struggle at times,  but I'm sure it will be an ongoing process trying to be patient and provide structure at home for her.   She sure loves her brother and is a good friend.   She is also very artistic and creative.   I love to see the things she creates. 

We are still trying to adjust to our new ward.  I'm trying to get to know everyone,  but it's a little bit hard when I'm chasing after the kids.   Hopefully I'll get to know more people in the weeks to come.   I am serving as the choir director and Mia maid advisor.   It keeps me busy on Sundays,  but I enjoy my callings.   Choir is much better know that it is no longer at my house with the kids running around like crazy.

I've taken on more than I should've  with my painting projects,  especially since I really don't know what I'm doing.:)  It will be awesome when I have all my projects finished.   There are just too many more important things for me to be doing. :)

Gordon is the happiest, smiley cutie! It surprises me that he's struggling with his food because he looks so happy! I'm sorry about that though, that's tough. Viv's expression in the picture where her face is painted - ha ha, too cute!! Yea for Emma, what a great compliment to get another award!! I sure adore those kiddos! You sound super busy with both YW and choir - those are big callings! Good luck getting to know your ward, sometimes it just takes time...
AND... what are the white furniture pics? Have I not been following on FB or something? What is the black thing - a knob? I need details! ;-)

Oh my gosh that Gordie is just the cutest! I love all the different furniture you are refinishing, Holly Gibbons Haguewood from up here does lots of this and uses a van dyke brown glaze over white or cream paint, it just gives some extra definition to all the cool wood carving. :)
I didn't know you were in a new ward, is Mike still bishop?
Thanks for the update!!!!!!
