The Oldhams: Hanging out in Southern Illinois & Allie is 5 months

A Call to Church Plant

It is our desire that this be a place where you can come to see what God is doing in our lives on a daily basis. In August of 06 God began to open our eyes to the great need for the Gospel in our nation. As we sought the Lord and His will for our lives it became clear that He was calling us to join and play a major part in a movement that seeks to plant young, missional, Gospel-centered Churches that will seek the transformation of a city and eventually a culture. At this moment, it is a vision. It is a dream in our hearts and, we fully believe, a dream in the heart of God.

Hanging out in Southern Illinois & Allie is 5 months

At the beginning of this week we went to Southern Illinois to visit with family. During the day we had lunch at Gma and Gpa's and hung out with family. That night we went to Papa Roy and Gma Cathe's for the night. That night Allie and Daddy finished the Jesus story book bible for the first time through.

The next day we headed to Evansville to hang out with Nate, Betsy, Hallie Kate (HK), and Nolan. Hallie Kate was very excited to see Allie and wanted her to sit on her lap. Allie cooperated pretty well with her.

Two first born Oldham girls with the personality to back it up.
One day they will set the world on fire

Later that night Daddy read a bible story to Allie while HK and Aiden (Cathe's grandson) listened.

at about 8:30 Allie decided she didn't want to miss out on the party any more and wanted up. She laid in my lap while HK sang her a marathon lullaby... it seriously went on for about 10 minutes and changed thoughts and tunes about 20 times. She liked rubbing her face and getting her to grab her hand. Allie went back to sleep soon after HK did.

The next day March 3, 2010 Allie turned 5 Months old. Here HK is holding her on her lap again.

We got home right before small group that night and right before I was going to feed her dinner I realized I didn't have a 5 month picture. So here she is at 5 months before she eats her cereal.

Also at 5 months she tried carrots for the first time. She acted like she was gagging on them several times... as you can tell she is going to have to learn to like carrots.

getting a little bit better...still not sure about them

Right before bed her and daddy cracked open her Big Picture Story Bible to start reading as you can see Allie does a great job of paying attention for story time. She loves it when her daddy reads to her.
