Flower Face

Felicity is doing the baby sign for flower or smell. Whenever we say flower or smell or she sees flowers (which is quite often) this is the hilarious face she makes.

Just the 3 of Us

Here is the lovely wallpaper that was found under the other wallpaper when we had our living room repainted last week. Original 1973 wallpaper we think.

Here is our most recent family picture. You can see the side of our house, our gazebo and swing in the backyard.

River Trip

We spent three wonderful days at our friend Stephanie's house on the Chowan River 2 weekends ago. The porch was overlooking the river and only a few feet away. We spent so much time in the shallow water and Brent went kayaking several times. Felicity got lots of attention from our friends (Stephanie, Jamie and Charles) that were there. We can't wait to go back! Sunday morning we had a worship service on the porch and it was amazing to worship surrounded by such beauty.

Chinese Clothes

Felicity wore her qipao, a tradional Chinese dress, to church on Sunday. She was so cute and got quite a few comments. I had her in her squeaky shoes from China too. The qipao was from our friends the Fischers and the squeaky shoes from our former student in China, Amy. I thought about and missed our friends in China all day.

The Budding Artist

Felicity is proudly displaying her second attempt at finger painting. Yes, she had to take a bath afterwards. I thought about keeping the paper for her baby book, but then I thought otherwise. The picture above is a much better keepsake.

Walking

Yesterday, August 10, Felicity just suddenly decided to take off walking. After I took this video, we went to a church picnic and she was taking 10-12 steps at a time!

Laughing

We have an Olympic Friendly Doll (the mascot for the olympics). I was hanging it up on the window with a suction and it was falling down, and Felicity just thought it was the most hilarious thing.
