Switching to Cloth Diapers

With our upcoming move to West Africa (more on that later) we are trying to get ahead of the game and get used to using cloth diapers (there won’t be a disposable diaper within 200 miles of our village). Our good friends Rob & Christine were very generous in letting us use their son Hutch’s old cloth diapers.

This being the 21st century, these aren’t the cloth diapers your parents used. No pins involved, the diapers have plastic snap buttons across the front so that you can keep using the diaper as your baby grows. Also handy are the hemp pad inserts that help soak up the “wetness” and that you can double up at night. Finally, the diapers come in snazzy colors ensure they Trey looks his best while strutting around in them.

I Love Popsicles (and Phoenix does too!)

The Perrys dropped by today and Trey and Phoenix discovered their shared love for popsicles. Phoenix really enjoyed his and almost devoured the whole thing!

VBS 2007 Slideshow

Last month I posted a promotional video I made for our church to encourage members to volunteer to help with Vacation Bible School. This past week was our VBS and I served as “photographer” (best job ever!). Trey stayed with his grandmother Jensen most of the week but did attend VBS one day.

This is a video slideshow I made for our service this past Sunday to give folks an overview of what went on during the week.

Payton Jr. Jr. Drops By Again

It has been several months since Trey and Payton last hung out. Now they are both walking and Payton even has a small repertoire of words he tosses around.

Amy brought Payton over today for a “play date” and they seemed to have a pretty good time. Payton liked all the new toys he could play with and Trey seemed to enjoy showing off (and defending) his turf.

Trey Loves Bath Time

It seems like it happened overnight. Trey never was too fond of bath time. Now he loves it and bursts into tears as soon as we turn the water off. He likes to sit right in front of the faucet and fill up his bucket over and over, dumping the water on his head.

Following is a sequence of images I snapped of Trey’s fun getting a bit out of control. Continue reading ‘Trey Loves Bath Time’

Trey Goes to the VBS Tailgate Party

I’ve been photographing children all week at our church’s VBS. Last night, with Heidi out of town, Trey came along with me. He had a blast playing with his friends Max and Lauren. He also got to stay up until 9:30pm. Something that doesn’t happen when mommy is in town! Click “Read More” for more photos.
