an ordinary month

Well....it's been a pretty ordinary month. Not much going on in the Bratcher household. Doug is enjoying staying home with the kids and I love the fact that the house is spotless (including washed clothes and dishes) when I get home in the afternoons =) Leah is enjoying her preschool and Lex is growing like a weed. He has started to take a few steps this week. And in the attempt to get better at it he has modified his crawl to more of a "bear crawl" (hands and feet as opposed to hands and knees). It's really rather cute!!

Lex will be turning one at the end of the month and we're getting excited about going to Pigeon Forge for my annual family reunion the first weekend in October. Then we'll head to the Isle of Palms once again for a week with Mom and Dad!! (Thank God for FALL BREAK and parents who'll foot the bill for a week's vacation on the beach!)

We are learning more and more each day to rely on God to provide for us. He has been so faithful to teach us the clear and obvious difference between what we need and what we want. It has not NEARLY been as hard as I thought things would be when Doug decided not to go back to teaching. God has just continued to provide in all kinds of interesting ways and for some reason given me a sense of peace about it all. Continue to pray for us as we continue to try to sell our house and that God would begin to reveal what's next!!
Here are some pics of the kiddos!!

(Her daddy got her ready...WOW!!)

Lex decided to empty the wipie box.

Mmmmmmm....yummy cookie mix!
