Fall is coming to the Great Northwest! The leaves are beginning to change and the weather is getting cooler. This is Derek's first fall! What a joy he is in our lives!!!

Derek has a new cousin! Hannah Saunders was born two weeks ago! (A new playmate!!!!)

Here he is, 8 months old. We can't get him to stay still any longer!

Sorry it has taken so long to post pictures! I have started working half time with an awesome second grade class and partner teacher! Derek has not adjusted to my schedule...SURPRISE, SURPRISE, so Ric brings him to me for nursing at 11:10. It works for all of us so we'll keep doing it!

Derek is 8 months old! He is crawling super fast, says "da da, ma ma, & ba ba," climbs on everything, and just started waving today. We can't figure out what he is waving at, but it is sure cute! He continues to surprise us with his motor skills! He really wants to run away from us!
