If you love photographs (and photographing) as much as I do, you have to check out I Heart Faces. It’s a great resources for tips and tricks, but what I love most is the inspiration.
This week the photo theme is A Touch Of Sun! I love these pictures. Here’s on of my all time favorites!
Dat?
September 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Jayce has hit the “Why? Stage” a bit early. Except instead of asking the infamous toddler question “Why?” he asks “Dat?”
He wants to know what everything is. He’ll walk around any room and with a constant stream of: Dat? Dat? Dat? as he points to everything in sight. Sometime he really adds some emphasis to it: daaaat?
It got me to thinking about all the words he starting to say. A few weeks ago it was just mamma, daddy, em and dat? Here’s an update:
Family
- Mama
- Daddy
- Em & Sissy (kind of a sh-issy)
- Ky
- Papa
- Memaw
Greetings
- Hi
- Bye
Things
- Ocks (socks)
- Shhh-s (shoes)
- Hat (mostly silent “h” but strong gesture to the head)
- Da (dog)
- Ball
- Bebe
Others
- Side (outside)
- Inky (stinky – time for a new diaper)
- Ott (hot)
And of course we still have a lot of ugh’s and pointing. I’ve been very impressed with the word he’s added lately though. He’s really trying to talk!
So my blogging is slipping … already

What can I say? It’s been crazy at the Roth House the last few weeks. The kids have started back to school and my work has slowed a bit, but somehow everything feels more crazy! Can anyone tell me how that works?
In part it’s because we spent several days out at the farm helping tear down the old milk barn. Here are a few pictures. It was a dirty job, but I suppose somebody had to do it!
I’ll post more as we make progress. I hear they started knocking down the walls, but I was home with sick kids that day!
That’s right, in addition to this project, the entire house (except me, yeah!) has had the stomach flu … yuck! I’ve been feeling a bit on the crummy side the last few days, but I think it’s from cleaning up after four others!
With school back in full swing that also means that AWANA has started. The church has a new website (which I helped with) so you can checkout what’s going on there! We are super excited to have a new pastor for the church. He will start preaching in October and I’m so looking forward to having Dennis and his wife, Lisa, here. I’m praying that the church will grow and prosper with new leadership.
I’m excited to be heading into a long weekend, even though it means a lot of chores (steam cleaning, kraut burgers, etc.) and a packed work week coming up next week! Wish me luck!
