As a family, we are really beginning to get into the swing of things here in Blacksburg. We've found a church that we have started to get involved in, Andrew has started meeting more students at Virginia Tech, and Maria has enrolled Tera in gymnastics classes!
After spending most of my (Andrew) first several weeks setting up the Campus Outreach office and getting things organized, I have been able to spend more time lately doing what I really love to do; interact with college students and hang out on campus.
As you can see, Tera loves being in the swing of things! There is a playground just outside of our back door and Tera takes advantage of it almost every day. She is a natural when it comes to anything dangerous or acrobatic. She would rather be upside-down than right-side-up and we are pretty sure that she is going to be a thrill-seeker. She is on the verge of walking, and when she does we are going to have to be on our toes becuase Tera's worst nightmare is having to sit still. We might have to buy her a cage. We really do love her rambunctious personality and we can't imagine having a quiet and laid back child. Every day is filled with smiles and laughs.
Her best friends are Tigger and Pooh and Isaiah and Toby Bradner. It seems like she learns a new trick almost every day. These days she is clapping, waiving, giving high-5's, kissing, and throwing and kicking balls. It's hard to believe that next month she will be one year old!
