Take 2

So this is the 2nd time I'm attempting to post. I had everthing perfectly written. Then something happened, and my beautiful work was lost. Here's Gabe sporting his Elmo backpack. He love wearing it. I just need to remember to pack a light load for him or else he gets too wobbly.

Booktime!

My reminder and encouragement as we're making many decisions. I'm so thankful for God's Word and the work of the Holy Spirit directing our lives.

Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

Christmas Parade

This was our first time at the downtown Christmas Parade. At the last minute, we grabbed our warmest clothes and braved some very cold weather (for Redding anyway). We tried to find our wonderful friends, but had a hard time getting around the crowed with our stroller. Then some of our wonderful friends from church invited us to their pad. We had such a fun time. Gabe loved watching the parade. We knew that he was cold, because he's never sat so long on daddy's lap all bundled up. I think the high school bands and all the lights were his favorite part. What a fun way to start up the Christmas season! We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

Harvest Fun

Our church has a fun little Harvest Festival every year. We dressed Gabe as a basketball player. We mostly enjoyed the outside events, where the rocks and sticks are plentiful. Gabe loved the wagon rides, which were pulled by a quad. I also got to bounce Gabe in the bouncy house before all the kids (and adults) came. My favorite part was watching Gabe interact with the other kids (or shall I say stealing their candy). He looks innocent and cute, but don't let the real Gabe fool you.
