Time for an update

Well, there is not much new going on here in the Small household. Right now our busy work/study/care for children schedule is keeping us from doing many interesting things....I was just telling Jonathan the other night sometimes I feel like somekind of recluse because I feel like other than work, I rarely ever go anywhere! But, this is just for a season, and will be worth it. =-)
The girls are doing good. Jasmine acts & talks more "grown-up" every day. She never ceases to make me laugh...even sometimes when as the mom, I should not be laughing, haha. =-) Savanna is doing good too. Growing like crazy! Yesterday she was 8 months old, and tomorrow she has her 8 month check up at the pediatrician, so I will find out how much she really has grown! Yesterday, she had her first ponytail. It was so cute, but when I went to take a picture, my batteries were dead. =-( So, we will do it again soon, take a picture, and call that her "first" ponytail! She is also starting to crawl. She does this kind of inchworm movement, hard to explain, but she get to what she wants! The other day there was a container of fruit puffs on the floor, (her favorite snack) with a lid on it, and she got over to it, got the lid off and was happily munching away by the time I walked back into the livingroom. =-)
Well, thats all for now. Keep Jonathan in your prayers, he is preparing for the next part of the CPA exam, which I think he sits for November 8.

Have a Blessed Day!

Jasmine's mess

The other day, Jasmine was in the back of the house, and had walked back there (without my knowledge), with a cup of chocolate milk. Apparently, she tripped and fell while holding it, and came out saying "uh-oh"...I looked up and this is what I saw.

She is explaining to me what happened. "Mommy, I tripped."


At least it was a tasty mess... =-)


"CHEESE!"


(Oh, and Dad, if you look at this, don't worry, we cleaned up the "stickiness" just as soon as I took the pictures. =)

I haven't put any new pics up of the house lately because the things they are working on now are not super noticeable in pictures. Things like wiring, plumbing, air ducts, etc. I think they are getting ready to insulate and put up sheetrock, so I will post pics when that is done!

Have a great day!

Bouncing can make you sleepy.....

Today was the first day Savanna really enjoyed her johnny-jump-up. She was having so much fun jumping and down! It was adorable! Here is a short clip of her bouncing. =-)

Then watch what happens after bouncing a while...it is way too cute! She ends up bouncing/rocking herself to sleep, but intermittently bouncing while sleeping. =-)

Cute video of Jazzi

I came across this old video of Jasmine that was taken not too long before Savanna was born. I cannot believe how much she has grown up in just 8 months!!!! Anyway, it is adorable, so I wanted to post it. Enjoy. =-)

Roof, windows, etc....and some INSIDE pics!

This is the dining rooom looking towards the back yard & back door


This is the master bath. The bathtub goes under the arch. The doorway you see is the closet door.


This is a view of the living room from dining room. The fireplace will be in the corner.

The frame is up!

Jonathan went by the house on Sunday and the frame was up. Here are a few pics!
