First steps!

I feel like I am just surviving this week.  We had layoffs at work.  It was awful to say the least.  Plus we feel like we are just run ragged with no time to relax.  My dad comes in this weekend  and then we will have some down time. 

It looks like our homestudy paperwork will be submitted to Colorado by the end of the week, so the March 16th date looks to be holding.  We are excited about that!

Charlotte has taken her first steps!!!  She can take 3-4 steps on her own.  We are working on getting it on video because she doesn't do it consistently yet.  She can also get into standing from sitting on the floor.  It is really quite impressive.  My guess is that once she takes off, there's no stopping her.  Or Cooper.

Here are some wonderful pictures of our lives lately.

Charlotte has discovered accessories.  She loves to put hats on, take them off, put them on again.  Oh and they also enjoy making a mess.

About that mess...they now tip the bucket over and pull out every last toy.  Three times a day.  Sometimes more.

Congrats on the steps! That is so exciting! We got some excellent pictures of Lorielle walking Merlin. Check them out. http://niffer-all-grown-up.blogspot.com/2008/07/hunt-for-perfect-picture.html
These were taken not too long after she started to walk.
