Yesterday we had Inger just playing on her blanket. I stepped into the kitchen for a second and when I returned, she wasn't in the same place! The first time she rolled was on mother's day, but I don't think she knew what she was doing. Now she has been rolling more and more, and I think she realizes it. It's the funniest thing to watch!

So it has been so long since I've done anything with this blog. Obviously I'm not a great blogger. Over the past few months, Inger has been more and more fun. She is starting to roll over, smiling and laughing a ton, and sleeping really well at night. At her 4 month appointment she was 16lbs 11oz and 25in. She is doing great. B and I love being with her.

We moved into a new house last month. It is so great to have a place of our own with neighbors that aren't on the other side of the wall. B loves taking care of the yard and he is really good at it too. I started back to work this last week. It was hard, but it will get better. God is my strength and He is the only One who is getting me through all that is going on!

Oh, how she resembles her daddy!





the Olsson crack.

The moms went for a run in the hills around their house.

The boys and their pool game.


It took a few tries to get the camera at the right angle to get all 4 of us in the shot.






We were suppose to go to Vegas this last weekend, but decided against it. Instead we went to Chelan. Boy was it beautiful! The place we stayed was amazing. I love looking out on a lake like that and seeing the vast mountains, knowing that each one of them was molded by my Maker. And as the evening approached, the sky was kissed with pink as the mountains sang farwell to the sun. What an artistic and creative God we have, who made such an awesome place for us to dwell.

So, I saw a bumper sticker today...it said "Make Art Not War". Hmmm. Okay, so I'm not against art or anything, but really? If we didn't have war, we wouldn't have America! We would still be under the tyranny of a crown. We also wouldn't have ANY of the freedoms we have today. We wouldn't even have the art that we have today because most of the art we love was inspired during times of turmoil. Can you imagine if our forefathers said, "let's make art instead of writing the declaration of independence." Ya, not so much.

(thanks erin for these adorable pictures!)

At Inger's 2 month appointment last week she weighed in at 12 pounds 8 ounces and is 23 inches long. She's a healthy little bug! We are still working out the kinks in her daily schedule. She was kind of congested last week and then got her immunizations. It was a little bump in the road. She knows it's nighttime and sleeps really well, but still wakes to feed usually just once. Lord willing she will that feeding soon. We would all love that!

It has been beautiful and sunny the past few days! Oh, what a joy to have that kind of weather...and today it's rainy. Gotta be thankful though. The beauty that this area has is because of the Maker pouring rain down on days like today.

Resurrection day.



My sin oh the bliss of this glorious thought.
My sin not in part but the whole.
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord o' my soul!
