Angel, fawn, and bubbles

Hi again. We are having video problems but hope to get that working again soon. Here are a few pictures to summarize our life with Joy lately.

Joy has fallen in love with our cat, Angel. However, Angel does not reciprocate the feeling. But she tolerates all the 'tough' love really well.

We've also been enjoying this abandoned fawn that's been living between our house and the neighbor. Unfortunately, it is getting sick and malnourished despite the neighbors feeding it. No one in the area is allowed to rescue it due to chronic waste disease - poor thing.


Joy also really loves bubbles lately. She made everyone laugh at storytime this week when she tried eating them. She looked like a frog sitting on all 4 with her tongue sticking out trying to catch the bubbles. :) She's been enjoying bath time more lately because she can sit, stand, crawl, and basically move about as she pleases. Is this one of those embarrassing pictures she's going go 'mom' me about later???


Lastly, Joy is exhausting us with all her walking practice lately. Thankfully, we were given this toy which helps tremendously!

Joy also got to experience her first county fair last weekend. She enjoyed showing off her animal sounds of: neigh, baa, and mmmm (moo). She also got to pet several animals including a baby pygmy goat. If only we could have goats within city limits. Both Joy and I would be sooo happy. She also added the lion to her list of animal sounds last Sunday. That seems to be her favorite evident by her roaring at her dad and I several times a day now.

Danny has been really busy at the golf course lately. We really appreciate our Sundays together (his only day off during golf season). He also works on our housing addition every night after Joy goes to bed. Thankfully she sleeps really hard, so Danny can do some pounding, stapling, drilling, etc. and not wake the baby. :)

I found out that my nanny position will be ending on August 30 because the little girl I care for is starting at a center after being on the wait list for a few years. I initially thought I would do in-home child care but that is looking pretty hopeless at the moment due to the economy. So, I'm consider finding another nanny position. Please pray for me to find a job that allows me to be with Joy.
