Family Fall Fun

Election Day 2012

On this special day- Election Day 2012- we took the children with us to the polls to vote. The older ones really enjoyed it. I must say that I have never seen a child so excited to receive an "I voted" sticker more than EE was. Lil' G slept right through the whole ordeal. Tonight the two oldest boys have the privilege of  staying up late to color in their election map state by state as we await to see who will be the next president of the United States of America. We are so proud to be Americans, and we want to pass that patriotism on to our children.

Lil' G's Dedication

Near the end of August we publicly committed to raise our youngest in the ways of the Lord. Here is Lil' G all ready for the morning worship service.

We were delighted that our good friends from seminary were able to attend and participate in the ceremony. Here we are with CE leading us in prayer asking God to give us wisdom and guidance in raising lil' G.  (EE couldn't help herself...she joined us for prayer too :)

May we always  take our role as parents seriously, teach him God's ways,  and love this lil' one the way God does.

 

G- You are a gift from God, you are created in his image, and your life was given to bring him glory. May you come to know Jesus at an early age and serve him faithfully all the days of your life. We love you, but most importantly, God loves you :)

Lil' G @ 4 Months

 Our little boy has been growing up way too fast! Lil' G now weighs 17 pounds, 12 ounces and is just over 25 inches long. In everyday life that translates into wearing a size 4 diaper and 12 month clothes. (Which means we have been doing a lot of going up and down into the attic for packing and unpacking clothes! Boy, are we thankful we saved them from each child!)

 Lots of milestones are happening this month. G rolled over for the first time. He prefers to be upright now, and sadly, the cute mohowk you see in the picture above has now grown out too long to stand up like that anymore.

 He prefers lots of face time...and still at this point prefers his mama's face to others. G has some of the most beautiful, blue eyes- couldn't you just stare into those forever?

And the biggest thing we have going right now...TEETHING! He has quite a few teeth on the top that are in the doctor's words "very close." (Let me tell you, we didn't have to be told that!) He gets as many fingers in his mouth as he can and he chews, chews, chews! I still can't believe he is teething this early, but we do look forward to seeing one of those precious pearly white grins soon :)
