La Famille Armstrong

So life has been kinda busy :-) I feel bad, I even missed blogging about Asher being 7 months old! So terrible!!! Anyway, it's been a bit hectic around here lately. I jumped into working for Jeanne so fast and then I just had so many events planned every week that I hadn't really gotten the chance to just sit, think and pray about everything. I really do feel I'm doing what I should but getting organized and my head wrapped around it all hadn't happened yet. 

I've been going/sometimes going to our women's bible study in the evenings and it has been great! It's hard for me to go to an evening study but I go with Tracy and we've been so blessed by it. Most of the women are a bit older than us with grown up or almost grown up children so it's not our typical scene... it is incredibly rewarding though. And I know other women are blessed to see some younger gals coming so it's been just amazing all around.

So... about Asher. Man, he's a great kid. I'm constantly stumped by what he is doing! Yesterday he really started to pull himself up to standing when you hold his hands. And he gets so excited about it too! Plus he loves to hang on to the side of the bath when it's filling up for bathtime. He's also been "talking" a lot more and just taking great naps. He's getting quite a few teeth in... some on the top, some on the sides and he's always chewing on his fingers to try and ease that. I can tell when it's really bad b/c all he wants to do is be held and walked around with... no playing, no nothing... just walking. But he actually still sleeps pretty well considering. Last night, he went to sleep at 5:30pm and we assumed he would wake up and eat one more time. Nope... not until almost 11pm when Mark and I were about ready for bed. He took about 20 minutes to drink 2oz and fell asleep almost instantly. Poor kid... plus I was worried he would be up at 4am, wide awake! Nope again!!! He slept until just before 7am and he didn't even cry out once... well, if he did I just slept right through it so it couldn't have been too loud! And on top of all that, he's getting more hair and cuter every day! I've been putting a little gel in it every once in a while and giving him a mini-mohawk... it's so cute! 

Thanks everyone for catching up! One more thing... I'm going to Coos Bay next weekend and while I'm down there I'll be doing the 2nd half of Austie's sister's senior photos... here's one from the studio...

She is incredibly photogenic and has amazing hair! Hope the rest of all your weeks go well... talk to you again soon!
