Orrin Does CPR

Just in case anyone thinks they can't do CPR, I'm here to tell you that if a baby can do it, so can you!  If you see someone collapse, push hard and fast in the center of their chest.  (If they don't need CPR, they will let you know!) :)

YOU COULD SAVE A LIFE

Crawling and Clicking

Orrin is getting so big so fast!  He is crawling all over the place and having so much fun :)

He is starting to pull himself up and stand by himself for a few seconds at a time.  

His new tricks include smacking his lips after a good meal, waving hi, and clicking 

his tongue loudly. Grandpa Paul says he can hear Orrin clicking all the way from the pulpit!

Great-Grandma Gerst saved a box of Grandpa's

baby clothes.  We let Orrin wear a few and took 

some pictures.

We have a new cook in our house!

Orrin the Menace.  Into the dirt and toilet paper.

Bike rides are so fun!

Preachin a sermon!

Mom's cabinets are so much fun!

Me 'n Dad

Orrin was kind of grouchy so we put him in
the laundry basket.  He thought it was great and
played for quite a while :)

Texas

Orrin gave me some precious smiles for a few pictures.

7 months old!

Paul and Loretta went to Austin, TX for minister 

rotation in May.  Joel, David, Orrin and I decided 

to go along.  We stopped at Branson, MO on the

way down.  We went to the Son's of the Pioneers

supper and show.  Then down to Dallas, TX the next

day.  After two days in the carseat, Orrin was all

done traveling!

The Sons of the Pioneers

We spent a few days at Loretta's brother's home

near Dallas.  We helped do a few projects around

their house.

What a cool dude :)

We ate at a few really neat restaurants in the Dallas

area.  This one was a mexican restaurant that had

only two things on the menu...fajitas and tacos.

But the place was packed and no wonder. 

The landscaping was beyond belief.

We went to Austin for the weekend.  

Some of the group went kayaking for a few hours.

Orrin played at the splash park.
