What's new?

Ok, we are back from hiatus here at the Schraw Family Photo Album. We have been busily trying to make a home out of our house, but it is time to slow down a bit and start doing things like blogging and checking e-mail again.

Jamus has some new tricks in the last couple of weeks:

1. Expert-level sitting up. Just a couple of weeks ago I felt like Jamus needed a spotter when he was sitting up because he might fall back at any moment. Now he sits up like a champ.


2. Beginner-level crawling. Here is how it goes:
Jamus sees something he wants and lunges forward.

Jamus teeters on his knees.

Jamus falls to his belly.

You can see that he is a pretty good sport about it.

3. Clapping. I'll try to get a video of this. It's so cute. He just started doing it out of nowhere, although it did happen the same week we took him to visit Grandma and Grandpa's church, which has considerably more clapping than our church!

Here is a photo of the house:
We are so grateful for this blessing! We hope we can use this place to its fullest potential to love and nurture our family and our community. We have a lovely guest room; please come visit soon!

Teal countertops

What color does one paint the walls when the countertops are TEAL? :)
