Guilty as Charged

Gentry has no fear. He will go anywhere around the house no matter where Mommy and Daddy are. Lately, he's been getting into the toilet paper....


Trying to leave the scene of his crime, but Mommy caught him!



He also loves to move things around. If anything is missing, we know it can be found in the clothes hamper. Silly boy!



I was trying to get ready to go somewhere and it got quiet so I went to find Gentry, and sure enough he was unrolling the whole roll of toilet paper. This time I was quick enough to catch him in the act!

We may be in for trouble. He is quite a sneaky little guy. Over the past week or so, he's really gotten into his books, which has made me very happy :) I'm not a teacher or anything.... He'll go get a book out of his basket and bring it to you then once that book is done, he puts it on the floor and goes and gets a new book. One day, he brought me every single book in the basket. Now we're working on putting them back once we're done.

He continues to amaze us each day. We are so thankful we have been blessed with such a wonderful little boy and we can't wait to see what he learns next!

More Pictures from back East


Brittany, Me, and Amanda at the Brad Paisley concert in Pittsburgh. Gotta love last minute trips! Thanks Amanda :)



Aunt Amanda, Gentry, and Cousin Garrett ringing the church bell.


Getting tickles from Aunt Amanda (this would be AFTER Gentry lost his shoe in the creek....good thing Garrett went in and got it!)


It was past nap time. Enough said.


He had so much fun in VA & MD that he couldn't stay awake on the trip home.

Maryland Portion of the Trip

This is a bit overdue but here goes: After Laura & Matt's wedding, we headed to the farm (a.k.a Friendsville, Md). Mitchell was excited to be able to be at the farm everyday and help out. Gentry wanted to help out too, and even got to spend an afternoon with Daddy, Grandpap, and Uncle Jeremiah at the farm.


Gentry was trying to help Grandpap work on the farm equipment.

Grandpap and Gentry. So sweet!


Isn't he just too cute in his little carhart overalls??


Gettin' into trouble. This is a typical day in our house (except this is Grandma's house).


We went out to dinner and to an arcade with our good friends Will & Miranda. Gentry had fun on the Bob the Builder bulldozer.

We took an afternoon and went to visit Grandma Richter. Gentry had fun showing her how he could walk and get into everything.


We took Gentry on a ride in the ranger to show him around the farm. He enjoyed sitting in Daddy's lap and helping him steer.


After our ride on the ranger.

Gentry loves his Uncle Jeremiah and can't wait to get bigger and help on the farm.

Opening presents!

We had such a great time visiting everyone at the farm. Amanda and Wanda worked very hard and gave Gentry an amazing birthday party with so many family and friends. We are so blessed to have so much love. We already can't wait to get back east again and hope to be there for Christmas.
