BABY, IS YOUR ROOM READY!

The summer of Allison ended today as we kisses her goodbye. We will certainly miss our lovely niece. She was such a polite house guest. We have yet to get a photo of her posted, but she has vowed to send one.

Attached now are some photos of the almost finished baby room. As you can see, I need to stop shopping, but as Lisa Scott noted, most everything was snagged on sale! Bobby finished painting and putting the crib together at Easter. We are slow to get these up.

Tiger enjoys his new favorite spot! Lily would rather sleep under the bunk beds (Landon's old bed) during storms, yet I have to join her. All of us including, Landon and Nicole have tried out the babies room at one night or another this summer. Let's hope these photos attach.

SUMMER WITH ALLISON!

We are very happy to have our niece Allison with us this summer. After graduating from ISU, she waits for grad school by working at OSF hospital. She is a delight and always has a smile on her face! We have been so lucky to have her sweet sister Audrey at Bradley during the school year and now Al. This has been a great year to get know our nieces as adults. Hopefully, we will have photos soon.

INFORMATION WORLD

I have not posted in a while. So, today I am taking a class on Technology and change in the classroom. We are learning about blogs and WIKIS, and Podcasts. Once I get this blog stuff, I can learn about those other things. Here is a link to the school website.

OUR PEANUT'S CRIB SET

Thanks to Lisa S., we have a photo of our baby's crib set. This is what our sweet pea will sleep on when she comes home from China. (Unless she decides not to sleep...) We are planning to use a bunny theme. See the bunny on the bed? After waiting 14 months, we hope to hear something this summer. We will keep you posted as we get more information!

CALIFORNIA VACATION

This is the Davis Family who lives in California! I knew Laura before she had any of these other people hanging around. Laura is the mom. Laura was one of my college students. Look how grown up she is now!! What a lovely family!

Bobby and I were visiting California during spring break of 2007. The weather was lovely. The company was even better. Seeing how much the children have grown took me by surprise. It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know Miss Stephanie, who was just two when they moved from Illinois. Lots of orchards and vineyards here! Mountains in the background. God's country!!!

WHY THE BLOG?

Welcome to our humble Humbles' home. We created this blog to share our life's journey with friends and family. This blog is the brainchild of my dear friend Laura, who is sitting by my side tutoring me in Blog 101. She felt perhaps this is how we should spend our vacation in sunny California to be with her family this spring of 2007.
