Wow..i am literally awful at this! This is going to be my new years goal to become a consistent blogger! We are just soooo busy!!! Anyone who is a youth pastor knows that their family is just as busy as they are! So Levi is crawling like speed racer and is walking around holding on to everything and in everything! We think he is going to walk soon..So pray for us! Its a workout trying to keep him out of everything! He is so fun though and has such a fun personality. He loves people and is most content if someone is entertaining him..so he loves church! Jon is staying really busy and the youth group is growing in the right direction..its been really neat to see! We are going towards a family ministry and really getting parents involved and i have been able to start teaching a small group which i love! Here are some picts of Levi!

Wow, i appologize on behalf of my lack of blog! I am sure i will one day be really good at this, but for now your just going to have to put up with my being bad at it! So today Levi is half a year old! He has traveled much and grown much since our last blog! At his 5 month check up he was 19 pounds and 6 ounces, so we estimate hes getting close to 21 pounds or so. Jon's younger brother Michael got married fathers day weekend and Levi said "mama" that same weekend. He tends to say it when hes whinning and wants me, but i dont know if he thinks..mama means milk or me, either way im both things! He has also started to crawl..or push with his toes , but hes figured out that he no longer has to roll to get places ..just full speed ahead..well as fast as he can go right now. Jon is about to go to Middle school camp...and My sister, Levi and I are flying to Florida so the grandparents can get their Levi fix! Continue to pray for the ministry at Fellowship Community Church, both as a whole and the youth ministry! Jon is doing a great job, but we are starting to try and balance our time, ect.. Its a challenge, but we love being here! Here are some picts of Levi and some of his counsins as well!. I dont have picts from the wedding downloaded yet, so i will put them up later

Levi, Maddie, and Benjamin (ill put up a better pict)

Levi's first Dodgeball tournament


So..its been like a month..i guess i should post. Life is busy in the Laughing-house hold. (ha) Jon has been in and out of town going to conferences. We were able to go visit Va Beach and all the new cousins, Maddie and Benjamin. They are so cute.! Levi is growing like a week..we just had his 4 month old check up. He is 17 pounds 10 ounces and almost 26 inches!..Hes getting big! I know cause i have to carry him everywhere..and im getting some pretty big guns (muscles). Jon and I have been teaching a marraige and family class to the youth. Jon more so than me, but its been really awesome..to see them "get it". I was blessed to be able to teach at a women's conference at my friend Leigh's church in Roanoke and it went great! We will be doing more in the future! On April 15th we became a aunt and uncle again! My brother Jimmy and his wife Heather had a beautiful little girl Brynn Anabelle English. We are going to see her next week, and them too of course! So lots of babies in the English-Laughinghouse families! I have to run go get Levi..until next time!

Almost 3 months old!

"What are yall doing to me? I think your all crazy!"




Well, Levi is growing very fast! He will be 3 months old soon..its hard to believe! His two month check-up he weighed 12 lbs 13 ounces, so no telling how much he weighs now! He goes through clothes so quickly..i have to wash his clothes every couple of days! Hes so cute though, starting to really use his voice..Likes to let us know that hes there! He is also smiling and giggling alot..he thinks his dad is crazy! The weather is FINALLY getting warmer so we have been taking him on alot of walks so he is seeing alot of new things! Hes very strong..and active..so im getting nervous about him walking in the future! He is excited to meet his new cousins Maddie and Benjamin at the end of the month. Then in may his new cousin Bren who will be arriving in april! Here are some more picts.
