Six angels

I discovered that Gabe has at least 6 angels surrounding him today...I knew he had several as he has survived escaping the house, falling down three stairs onto concrete, and eating numerous unedibles....but, today, I figured he must have six winged friends. You see, we were grocery shopping and this little angel turned around in the cart when I was not looking and picked up a dozen eggs by the lid. In about 3 seconds, all 12 eggs went crashing into the cart. But, not one single one broke! All 6 angels must have reached out and caught an egg in each hand, as best as I can figure!

Sundays-the best day of the week!

I truly do believe that if you set out to make Sunday a true day or rest-sitting back and enjoying what God has given you...it will be your best day, too! Our Sunday was full of the best things....church, relaxing in the hammock, drinking coffee, reading, chatting on the phone to aunt kiki, admiring the pergola that daddy is building over the patio that he is making...and visiting grandma's ice cream shop, Jones' Cones!

Summer fun!

Has it really been over 2 weeks since the last post???? We have been spending our days outside enjoying the sun and exploring the world around us. The hose, dirt, rocks, birds, squirrels... just to name a few things that are Gabe's newest favorites. We have been busy working on outdoor projects that are endless, visiting family out of state, wrapping up loose ends at school, doing TONS of paperwork (YUCK), staying up way too late.

All five great-grandkids in all their glory!!!

My Muffin

It's official...the nickname is "muffin". He may despise me for it when he is a teen...but his cheeks are finally so chubby that I can't help it. I had no idea how skinny and sick he was until I pulled up a few old pics to look at...

2 weeks old...one pound under birth weight...a tad over 7 pounds....

10 months old....with over 23 pounds of chub...in 24 month pj's...


and cheeks just begging to be kissed!!!

On a sadder note....tear....Gabe was moved to the one year old nursery today because he is walking...another tear....time for another baby...cause this one is not so little anymore.
