4th of July!!

Swimming, this summer is going to be so fun, Trisha loves the water. Her little teeth can be chatering but she still wants to swim. We had to make this swimming trip short because she wanted me to let go of her and let her swim by herself (she doesn't realize that she will sink to the bottom). So, instead of letting my strong willed little girl sink, I decided to get out and get warm! Unfortunatly as you can tell she wasn't happy about that either:(. Doesn't that face just break your heart:(, but she sure does look cute in her new swim suite!

I love spring! A few days ago Trisha had her first experience playing in the grass on a sunny day, and she loved it. Although there was a few grass stains from trying to run to fast. We had to chase her when she went toward grandpa and grandma's little fish pond, because I'm sure if we let her she would climb right in with the fish (gross!). Anyway, I don't know about you but the sunshine makes me a different person, I have a ton more energy and I have a joy in my heart that only comes on a sunny day. Isn't God wonderful to create something so amazing and inspiring. I know that sounds funny but it does inspire me, maybe we should move to a little more south!! I don't think family would apreciate that to much, but they would be able to have a good vacation in the winter! Maybe a little later in life, you never know where God leads you!

Trisha Ann

Trisha Ann Shuck is now 14 mon. old. Wow, where did the time go? She started crawling at 7 mon., walking at 9 mon. and now she acts like a teen:) Oh, God help us raise her to be a strong confident Godly woman. Bringing a child into this world is a scary and exciting thing. Maybe soon there will be another:) but for now we will work on raising this one! Everyday Trisha runs around leaving her toys everywhere she goes and it always seems like we are searching for something that she got her hands on (just ask Jeff)! But she always makes me smile, when ever she hears music she is always dancing, its the cutest thing I have ever seen, I think it started when she was just born and we would take her to Church, in Oak Harbor, WA, on wed. nights and she would actually sleep through the singing no matter how loud it was:). We miss wed. nights in Oak Harbor. She discovered the toilet a few of months ago and decided to stick a couple of items in there while she played, yup I was pretty much grossed out, but she seemed to like it. I always have to keep my eyes on that girl. Now she likes to give what we call the mean look, she frowns and puts her chin down and gives you a look... its not nice, it surprises you at first, because you can't imagine a look like that coming out of a 1 year old little girl, then you can't help but laugh.
