Happy Spring!

We hope that all of you had a wonderful Easter and are enjoying the warmer weather. We had a lovely Easter and were able to spend it with the DeLue side of the family (Jason's mom's side). It was SO much fun! Rowen was able to play with her Great Mom Mom, Great Aunts and Uncles and her VERY cool cousins. It was also Uncle Ralph's Aunt Laura's 95th birthday, so we were able to celebrate her amazing birthday with her!

Today was a big day for us. It was Rowen's last time in her bassinet. She is actually sleeping in her crib tonight for the first time. I have already cried. We will see how much sleep I get (or won't get I should say) tonight. Our little girl is growing so fast!!!

! The Many Faces of Rowen!

I had a minute so I thought I would post a few pictures from our week. As you can see Rowen is very busy and constantly changing!

Having So Much Fun!!!

So much has been going on in our lives! So much that I have neglected this blog. I apologize for all of the pictures at one time, but it is my way of playing catch up. Chris and Heidi Decker from Michigan came out and we went to New York City for dinner and some site seeing. We had a blast! It was SO wonderful seeing them...we miss you guys!
We were able to go to Buffalo about two weeks ago and had a great time with Jason's parents. We were also able to see the Arnolds's new baby boy Nathan....he's beautiful!
This Sunday, Rowen was dedicated by Dr. Harry Wood, our DS. Our families were able to come out for it. It was a wonderful service! (I will post pictures of the dedication later when we get them from the photographer.) Needless to say we have been busy, but having a lot of fun too!!!

~ Playing with Mom Mom is so great!~

~ Who needs toys when you have such cute toes?!~

~ Okay, so I had to put this one up. I thought I would try and get a cute mom and daughter picture myself. Well, Rowen thought it would be more fun nursing my nose than smiling for the camera!~

I'm A Big Girl Now!!!

~ Rowen loves her "nakey" time!~

~ We love Rubber Ducky!~

~Get that Ducky!~

~One satisfied little girl after her 1st cereal~

I know, I know, it has been WAY too long since our last post. Time has flown by! I can't believe Rowen is 5 months today! She has been changing by leaps and bounds. She is now 11lbs 12 oz ! She is still a petite little thing but she is growing fast! She has started eating rice cereal and loves it. She rolls from her tummy to her back and back to tummy. She laughs and "talks" all the time!

We have been VERY busy lately. I have started working at a local gourmet cafe for about 15 hrs a week. I really like it; it is convenient and fun and helps out a lot! Jason has taken on more resposibilities at our church and is enjoying ministry. We have a wonderful, supportive church family, staff, and board!
We have also been blessed recently with new carpet for the whole house! Jason has been busy putting in Pergo flooring for our dining room and it is looking beautiful. We are almost done; the house is coming back together slowly, but surely getting back in order. We are so excited to have it all completed!

We love you and hope everthing is wonderful with you!

Our Little Sleeping Angel

During what was supposed to be a quick trip to Walmart, our Saturn's battery died. While poor Jason had to stay out in the cold, changing the battery in the parking lot, Rowen and I stayed in the still warm car. It obviouly did not bother her at all because she slept through everything. She was looking so sweet, I couldn't resist taking pictures of our little sleeping angel!

Christmas with the Argos!!!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had a great Christmas and we were extremely blessed this year beacause we are now close to famliy. On the 22nd Jason's side of the family were able to come over to our house. We had 18 people ~it was great!

Jason had to be in service for both Christmas eve services so we did not leave for my family's until Christmas morning. It was such a blessing to be able to be here for Christmas eve, but still able to be with family on Christmas! ~Maya even loves Christmas!!!~

~Rowen with her Aunt Anna~

~Rowen with Mom Mom and Pop Pop Argo~

~Rowen's first Christmas!!!~

~Jason and I were able to take a walk on my family's property where I grew up while NyNy and Papa watched Rowen. It was so beautiful!~

Hooray for Smiles!

I recently started working as a substitute teacher's aide at our Christian Learning Center (our nursery school at our church). We have 200 2-4 year olds. So, I got a call at 7 in the morning that they needed me to come in. I fed Rowen and Super Daddy took over. I only go in until 11:30, so Jason works from home until then or he brings her into the office with him. I love working at CLC with all the adorable kids, but I miss my little girl when I'm gone. When I got home, Rowen had obviously had such a fun time with her Daddy (Daddy-daughter time as Jason calls it) because this is the smiling baby that I came home to! Hooray for smiles and wonderful Daddy!!!
