Divens Family: July 2008

Well, it's hard to believe, but our Jordan Danielle is four months old tomorrow! We are so thankful to God for our sweet baby. She has been so much fun already-squealing & laughing, especially at Jarrod(it is amazing what he will do for a laugh), getting her toes, chewing on ANYTHING she can get to her mouth. She still loves her bath and of course, she is in love with her bottle, but this rice cereal thing is not going over yet. I must brag(but not too loud in case she hears me and changes her mind), she has been sleeping through the night for six or seven weeks now!Yeah! I know I've mentioned it before, but Jarrod is SO good with her. She just watches him and usually rewards him with a big toothless smile! It's the simple things that are the most precious, don't you agree?

I've been in Virginia the last two weeks, and I have so much catching up to do. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

A couple of weeks ago, we had the privilege of going with Jase's family to hear "Greater Vision" in Indianapolis, Indiana.
They are a singing group that's been such a blessing to us and I'm sure, many others. So many of their songs have been a great encouragement to our hearts. We had such a good time with our family. By the way, if you're looking for a good kid's CD, the children of these guys put one together recently. Jarrod bought one, and he listens to it constantly. Very Good!

By the way, Jordan is now 3 1/2 months old. Jarrod still adores his sister, and he is so good with her.

Several weeks ago, Janie, Alicia, myself and our children met in Indiana for a "Visit". We had three whole days to catch up on life! The kids swam and played. Of course, if anyone knows us, trouble of some sort is bound to follow. The hotel we had reservations for didn't inform us when we checked in that we had no hot water. It was quite an adventure with seven children and only cold baths to offer. It all worked out in the end, but we should have been expecting something like this to happen!

We STILL can get together and laugh until we make ourselves sick!

Love you both! THANKS for the memories!

Jase was able to get the week of the 4th off of work, and he took us to Virginia to see my folks. Jamin, Joy and Jackson surprised everyone by showing up! We had a great time together. Here we all are . . . Dad, Mom, Jada, Jamin, Joy, Jackson, Jase, Me(Jeanene), Jarrod, and Jordan.:0) We know, we like confusing everyone with the "J" names!
