1, 2, 3....JUMP

Sheinah really loves to jump....down stairs (which we don't necessarily like), on the carpet, and, new this week, off of daddy's tummy. Check out this video of Sheinah practicing her jumping skills (please note, the pillow's were mommy's attempt to protect Sheinah's head). http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8950204180423099482&hl=en

ABC's

Sheinah likes to sing songs (particularly the Itsy Bitsy Spider song) so we decided to give the ABC's a try. Check out this video to hear Sheinah sing the ABC song with Melissa

Feet and crackers

For Labor Day, we drove up the shore to Two Harbors (which was slightly ironic since Melissa had just been there on Thursday with the pharmacy and medical students). The reason we went to Two Harbors was that Travis had an appraisal to do up there so we figured we'd make a day of it. We went for a tour of the Edna G tugboat, checked out the trains and then had lunch. On the way home, we were thinking that Sheinah would sleep while Travis shot the photos for his appraisal. Unfortunately, Sheinah decided that she did not want to sleep. By the time we shot this video, she was quite deliriously tired. We are pretty sure that it was the delusion that made her decide to eat crackers with her feet, but it makes for great video.

We've moved

After five months of "pure joy" (can you hear the sarcasm) remodeling our new-old house, we finally moved in! We had lots of help from our friends from church and a few folks from Melissa's work. Now, the fun of unpacking begins. We'll take some pictures as soon as we get the place looking a little more presentable. Like all good bloggers, we will NOT be posting our new address on the web :) If you need it, send us an email.
