Vala's 2010

Libby is a true Nebraska girl in a vat of corn. Don't worry we did not let her put any of the corn in her mouth as she likes to do with anything she can get in her hand.
Our little pumpkin was in the cutest pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. We remember visiting Vala's Pumpkin Patch as children ourselves, so taking Libby there is a continued family tradition.
Libby is sooo big and tall already. Not only is she taller than daddy pictured here but she is in the 97th percentile. What a view! I think she is noticing all the grey hair she is giving daddy and eating it, um yummy daddy hair.
Journey Church Night at Vala's was a great time. We had a bon fire, hayrack ride, music by Cody Villarreal, family, friends and fun. We enjoy your evenings as a family loving on our little girl. Thank you for joining us Great Aunt Geri and Nana.
No haunted houses and unneccesary fear. God tells us to not be afraid, so we are going to do our best to model that to Libby.

Watch me grow!

Libby Laughs

Giggles with complete delight. My ears perk up to the perfectly pitched joy that comes out of Libby's belly. These belly laughs remind me of the pleasure or all that is good and right. As I hear joy is it's perfect essence like a church bell chime, or birds in an open field, remembering "the hills are alive with the sound of music", or waves on the beach... there are so many perfect sounds that hardly compare to the sound that comes from Libby. All we have to do is smile big at her, lightly tickle her tummy or toes, give kisses and let her touch our face or just gaze into her eyes and her response is laughs. May you get to hear with your own ears too!
"How great you are, O Sovereign LORD! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears." 2 Samuel 7:22
