Libby pics

I thought that I would post a few pic's of Libby. I know that it's been somewhat of a blog desert, but I am going to try to post more pic's of her, since we know that's why you all check this blog anyways.


Libby FINALLY playing with the grass... she then tried to eat a leaf! Oh the joys... everything in the mouth. It must be this age. I still remember Taylor petting the farm kittens and then putting her hands in her mouth... YUM!!


Libby took a while to actually sit on the grass. She just squatted for a while. She wasn't too sure about this whole grass/nature thing. Hopefully she'll get used to it fairly soon!!


Baby Blue's.... Libby has always had the bluest eyes. I really hope she keeps them. Her eyes are like my grandpa's and I love looking at them and thinking about him! He was a wonderful man and I pray that Libby will be like him in his gentle and loving spirit.

MMMM.....Ketchup


WARNING: This Blog will in all likelihood be very long!!

So yeterday we discovered that Libby loves Ketchup! We tried to put some on her hotdog to help her eat it, and she was just scooping up mounds of ketchup! At one point she even tried to lean forward and like the tray off.... needless to say she went directly into the tub after that. If you can imagine, this picture was taken after we had cleaned her off a bit.

So the Libby update: She is walking like a wild woman!! She is even starting to run a little. As you can imagine the bruise factor has increased greatly! She loves to look out our front window and see the kids running by. It's pretty funny when we go outside though.... Libby is not too sure of grass right now. I think she feels it is still a little too prickly for her taste. We'll just have to wait for some nice lush grass, hopefully she'll change her opinion then. And an update on her hair... it's growing!! her hair is actually getting longer, and even gets a little curly when it's wet! It's still pretty light and thin, but apparently Daryl and I both had hair like that and now we're hairy beasts so hopefully Libby's hair will be nice and thick too! Either way she looks super cute!!!

In other news.... we sold our townhouse last Wednesday. We ended up getting what we wanted for it, For those of you who have seen our place you all know it's pretty small. It's only a two bedroom place adn we sold it for over 190,000! The market is CRAZY right now!! We put it on the market on Monday and then decided to look at all the offers on Wednesday night. We had our home open from 1-8 everyday (except everyday people wanted to look at it at 11am), so we had to find things to preoccupy our time. Libby did super well, even thoguh most of the time she only got an hour nap or so all day. It was pretty funny putting her down into ed at night... we would start to pray with her and she would start fussing and pushing away from us until we put her down in her crib!

So now we are planning some reno's , so I was able to run around and look around when we had to be out of our house. We are upgrading our electrical, putting in some new flooring in 2 bedrooms and in our kitchen.... and we are redoing our kitchen!! I am so excited to get that done before we move in.... we went recently to look at our house to do some measuring and I was just overwhelmed with how much God has blessed us. In the Saskatoon market there is no reasonable explanation as to why we got this house for such a good price. Sure the inside isn't too pretty, but it's all cosmetics... throw some paint on her and she'll be the belle of the ball! God has been so good to us and we are so thankful to all of you who have been praying for us.

Well I think that is all I will write about for now. Sorry for the lack of blogging, but things have been a little crazy and it's bene kind of difficult to upload pictures lately. And since we know that is really why you all check this blog out, I thought there would be no point to just writing something. Anyways until next time!!

SOLD!!


Front Yard
Originally uploaded by ddgrunau.

It is official. We have bought a new house. After looking for a new house since last September we have finally found a place to call ours. It is located in the area near to the school where alot of the students I work with live. We are extremely excited. While this house does need some work, it is perfect for our family. As an added bonus, the house has a heated, insulated, two car garage. We are planning to turn this garage into the rec room. We will move the pool table into the garage and will be able to have many students over. Can't wait for the summer, roll open the garage door, play some pool, shoot some hoops on the large cement pad. God is so good. This is an answer to our prayers for over a year.

On flickr there is more pictures of the inside as the current home owners had it.
