LIfe on the Raft

Well, life has been good for the Trott's these days. Lauren is doing great. She is trying to scoot and likes to roll across the room. She talks all day, but no words we can recognize yet. She has also started using sign language to tell us she wants milk. She eats all kinds of veggies, fruits, meats and even a popsicle or two when she goes down to Gran-D's house. Yes, Gran- D (Leanne's mom) has moved into her new house. She lives 4 houses down from us now. It is great to have her close by! Aaron is busy at work. He is doing alot more traveling these days, so Lauren and I have lots of slumber parties while daddy is away. He is hoping to get a little break this fall to go hunting with Uncle Dave. We always seem to have momentous events during hunting season, getting married, having a baby. So hopefully this season he can restock our freezer! I am getting adjusted to being a stay at home mom. I have been able to go to a women's Bible study on Tuesday mornings which has been great. I have learned what days they have samples at H.E.B (the grocery store) and I have learned how to fold laundry, cook dinner and feed a baby all at the same time! We are hoping to take a little vacation at the end of the month. Aaron and I are REALLLY excited! Life has been so crazy over the past year or two, it will be so nice to get away--relax, and have some time to really soak up how good God has been to us!!
