We Love The Villarreals

They were even baptized on the same day.

Our dear friends, Bryan, Erica and Molly are moving to Dallas so Bryan can attend seminary. We will miss them terribly but are excited for what God has in store for them. Molly and Riggs have grown from baby bumps to best buddies.

Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo

Took Riggs to the OKC Zoo over Spring Break. It was VERY crowded, we'll have to go again sometime during the school week.

Easter 2010

"The whole life of Christ was a continual Passion, others die Martyrs but Christ was born a Martyr... His birth and his death were but one continual act, and His Christmas day and His Good Friday, are but the evening and the morning of one and the same day."

-John Donne

From the mouth of my Babe...

Riggs just turned 15 months and is trying to mimic pretty much anything we say, but here are some words he knows well:
Momma, Dada, baby, bye bye, ball, bite, up, bottle, Gigi, Pop, puppy, dog, Jesus, purple, Pete (as in Pistol) Abby, Matt, night night, boot (book) yaya (which is lights and shoes) TayTay (KK) and lots more.
Words we are practicing: Grandma, Granddad, thank you, Keller, Maggie
He can read the word "hi", that's right, I said read.
He can find his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hair, belly, toes, teeth, fingers
He signs, more, please, milk and all finished, still practicing thank you.
He inherited the picky eater gene from JJ and me. His diet consists of fish, chicken and grilled cheese. He pretty much likes all fruit with an occasional veggie. Loves milk like is mom and dad too.
