Mr. & Mrs. VerDouw

My dear, beautiful cousin Paula married tall, dark, and handsome Tom on July 11th and I was honored to be one of her bridesmaids.  Every once in a while you meet a couple who is obviously absolutely PERFECT for each other and you just can't stop smiling when you see them together.....they're like peanut butter and jelly.....the perfect combination!  From their light-hearted banter to the adoring looks they give each other, Thomas and Paula compliment each other very well.  Praise God for giving us "helpmates suitable" (Genesis 2:18)!  Congrats Tom and Paula!   We're praying for you during this exciting time in your lives!  Here are some pictures from the big day.

Beautiful Bride

To be nice, or not to be....that is the question.  (Answer: Tom is nice, Paula is not!)

6 month check-up

Jacob's 6 month well baby check-up was yesterday, so here's the stats! Weight: 18 lbs. 11 oz - 72nd% Height: 27.5 in. - 85th% He's finally slowing down the weight gain. Jacob was consistently gaining 2-3 lbs. every month, but this last month he's stayed about the same. She even weighed him twice on 2 different scales to make sure since I said he was 19.2 when I weighed him at home at the beginning of the month. I weighed him when we got home from the appointment (me holding him minus me not holding him) and our scale scale said he's 19.6 with his clothes and diaper on. So that gives me hope that MY weight is actually slightly less too! Ha, Ha! As long as my bridesmaid dress has to be altered we might as well size it down a little more, right Paula? :) I guess I'm the cautious first time parent, because when I take Jacob to his check-ups the nurses ask questions like they assume I've already given him solid foods and such. I just thought I had to get t...

How many licks to the center of a tootsie pop?

Well, if you are the Owl or Jacob, its somewhere around 3. Jacob discovered his love of Tootsie Pops this Halloween. Somewhere toward the end of our candy walk through the Klaassen's neighborhood Jacob pulled one out of his bucket and got the wrapper off without us noticing. His eyes got wide and he repeated "Mmmmm," over again and again. Then he went into some kind of sugar coma - his eyes glossed over, he didn't speak or respond to us, and his legs turned to jello, we had to sit out a house or two while he finished (which didn't take long - I was amazed!) and then he immediately popped out of it and was back in action, smiling and saying "trick-or-treat" in his sweet little voice. Every time we let him choose a piece if candy for dessert he always goes for the suckers. all the kids - most of the girls were princesses this year, if they had specific names I'm not sure, forgive me friends.... Clara Slininger (princess), Tessa Leyboldt (princess ...
