This week Becca got a very special present in the mail from her Great Aunt Ruthy: her very own little chair. It’s a great place for Becca to practice sitting up. Aunt Ruthy also sent Becca a frog, which Becca is very interested in eating – frog legs, yummy! This week I washed and packed up all of Becca’s newborn clothes. She still fits in most of her 3-month stuff. I guess that’s an advantage of having a small baby is that her clothes fit her for a long time.
This week we visited with Michael and Erin Lyons. The last time we saw them was a year ago on our trip back from PA. They generously allowed us to spend the night in their apartment in Louisville, KY, as we traveled home. It was good catching up with them and hearing about where God is leading them next. The Lyons are expecting a baby in February.
Due to the generosity of family and friends, this week was the first time we’ve had to buy diapers since the month of April. We found some good deals from diapers.com. If anyone is ever interested in ordering from Diapers.com, you can put in our referral code (JXSH2621) and we’ll get $10.00 off our next order. (Is it wrong for us to advertise for our own benefit?) And there’s something in it for you: the first time you order from Diapers.com you get 15% off, so at least the first order is a nice deal for anyone.
Well that about sums up our week. Sunday night we have a nice visit and meal with the Martins and some of their friends (no pictures, sorry). We’ve both been busy working on our research. Josh starts school on the 26th of this month. He’ll be teaching an undergraduate class on Phonetics and Phonology, working in the Linguistic Department’s computer lab, and taking one class, as well as working on his dissertation research. I will continue to work on my prospectus as well as enjoy being the wife of Josh Jensen and the mommy of Becca Grace.
Love the pictures! Glad you guys have been able to get a lot of work done on your research. Hope you enjoy your last week and a half before classes start, Josh.
I LOVE the chair! It looks to be the perfect size. Loved all of the pictures as usual. We miss you very much! Keep up the good work.
My absolutely favorite picture is the one at the end with Becca sitting on Josh’s lap – grinning. You know what that grin is saying: “I’m supposed to be sleeping, but Mommy let me get up early and now I’m pretending to work to get out of being in bed!!!!” 🙂
Amy, I loved that picture of her, too, with that adorable grin!! She looks very pleased with herself! 🙂 What a doll!
I think the photo on the diaper box would make a great ad!! Looks like a little model! Hard to believe that it’s time to talk about going back to school. Glad you got to see Erin. Love you guys!!
What a cute chair! And she is sitting up so well! Way to go, Becca!
We were gone for several weeks and when we got home a bad storm had knocked out the phones, computer, tv and believe it or not the clock on the mantel was running backwards! That meant I had a lot of catching up to do on all your news and pictures. I have just spent the last hour enjoying a visit with y’all. Becca is a doll baby. I can’t believe all the different things you do with her and the wonderful pictures. The Lord has blessed you with a very special little girl. Don’t ever stop taking pictures and sharing them with us. Love you guys and praying for a good school year.
I must say, Amy, that pic of Becca sitting in Josh’s lap IS SO CUTE!!! And I love the chair! She looks so adorable sitting there with her little tootsies together and that sweet little smile on her face. What a blessing that precious baby girl is! ~Liz
