1st steps

Exciting news.... Jacob took his very 1st step!
So yesterday evening Michael, Mary (my sis, Jakes Aunt), Jacob & I were hanging out in the living room. Music came on a commercial and Jacob started dancing ( not holding onto anything as usual) then just took a step looked at us unaware he did it, then stood there and down on his butt he went. It was so exciting..we tried to get him to do it again... but one time was the deal.
So well will have to keep a close eye on him when he is standing so we can get a picture to post.

So we looked at the house again... Michael said no.. to much $$$ for it having no garage and not a nice yard.. hilly. SAD such a beautiful house. So found another house for sale by owner.. nice flat 1 acre yard. In a small neighborhood, which there are other foreign adopted children. (from what we were told) Smaller and needs a little TLC...Paint, new carpet. But its in Zelienople where we want to be. I go back n fourth I like it but is it big enough. Then I feel greedy... there people in the world who would die to have a house... like in Vietnam 1 family consisting of mother, father, children, & grand parents live in same home...usually a small home.

Why is it as an American we feel that we need to have bigger to be considered better. I told Michael the other night I like the house in Zelie cause it is where we want to be. We could play in the back yard ...ball, catch, and the kids could grow close to our families. I do not want a house just so I have something nicer / better than my friends.. Its about family.

Anyway... we went to Grove city outlets..all summer clothes were 2.99 @ the children's place... got Jacob some shorts w/belts.. he is so little 6-9 months are to big unless belted. And some nice shirts...say life guard in training, Surfs up, etc
Also got some osh gosh sweatshirts for 3.99... for the little guy...

Well better go back to work...had to tell about his 1st step.. what an awesome little guy
