and he walks!

On Sunday M and I were out roaming the halls, as usual, and found another little boy his age.  But this little boy was walking all by himself.  Now, up until this point Myer could walk but he wouldn't let go of my finger.  And my finger really didn't help, he just liked the security of it.  As soon as Myer saw this boy walking down the hall and turning around all by himself, he let go of my hand, batted it away, and walked away with perfect balance without looking back.  And he is a stellar little walker now.  I don't think he's really fallen yet, and he can get to a standing position all by himself.  Took long enough!  He just needed to see someone else his size accomplishing the task.  Skeptic.   But he does have the cutest walk.  I call it "The Samba".

Instagram captured our week as babysitters.

And we are outside a lot.

And trying to walk!

Progress.

And may I point out the flexibility in the bottom left pic?

He get's that from Jake...

our conferencegram weekend

1. inspiration for the weekend  2.  bare feet at the park

3.  Sunday morning snuggles  4. multitasking

Conference weekends are the best weekends.

Favorite quotes:

"Family time is sacred time and it should be respected and protected."

"Rather than be cast down, look up."

"Our Heavenly Father did not put us on this earth to fail, but to succeed."

"You can't be right by doing wrong, and you can't be wrong by doing right."

"Stop it."

"Praying with children may be more important than any other example."

I love the feeling in our home during and after Conference.

I wish it happened more than twice a year.

Try as we might, we're going to hold on to these feelings till October.

Hope you all felt the love last weekend cause we sure did.

3.  working hard or hardly working  4. bed head

(apparently we like hanging out in our star jammies...)

 5. and we met Grandma's new dog--Toby

We are surrounded by dogs in this family and Myer is getting the spoiled treatment.

He has friends everywhere he goes now.

This makes me want to get a dog...

thanks goodness for instagram

Tomorrow I'll be at a wedding all day

and Saturday I'll be at Bijou Market.

(who will I see there??)

So it's an instagram post for the weekend.

See you next week!

a fall walk

We bundled up and experienced one of our first cold September evenings.

I was surprised that M let us layer him up,

but maybe he takes after his mama and likes the cooler temperatures.

Fall is my kind of season.

Because I love walks just like these.
