Greetings!
Happy Thanksgiving to our friends and family! We celebrated the many things we give thanks for this weekend. It was a special time to spend with our kids!
Jonas kicked off the weekend in style by starting to crawl ever so slowly. Elsa's competitive advantage for reaching toys is fading quickly and Jonas seemed very pleased with himself.
Elsa appears to be getting a second tooth. Her cheeks have been especially red and the drool is back with a vengeance.
We took Elsa and Jonas with us as we picked out our Christmas tree. They were both asleep in minutes. We are very excited that the house is decorated with a tree and all our other decorations. Last year, we were on minimal decorations so it is great to be able to fully deck the halls this year.
God Bless,
Dan & Jonas & Elsa & Mari
Even though I haven't kept up on the shared comments, lately-- I am ever vigil in reading and enjoying your shared stories of Elsa's and Jonas's growth and development. What a miracle that growth is constant and expected. Yet, each event is so very special and and exciting and personal. Sometimes we trivialize expected milestones. But, no, we really need to shout for joy and give thanks for each and every one of those growth passages. There will, indeed, be more--many more. Continue to share and marvel at all the gifts of growth that our Lord has blessed us with. Advent: Waiting, Watching, Hoping, Believing, and Entrusting our lives to our Creator. Surprises will continue. Blessed be those moments of growth. Advent-Expect great news!! We love you dearly.
