We gather together...

Thanksgiving 2008... I can't help but think back to this time last year. How our lives have changed since then! I am at a loss on how to sum up and put into words all that we are thankful for.

I am also dealing with many tears right now...I go back to work tomorrow :( I am so upset about leaving the boys. I feel like I will be missing so much! It's all the little things that make me sad....Eli snuggling into me as I get him up from his nap time, Joel starting to smile & coo at me. I could go on and on.

The good news is that Randy will be home with the boys for the next 6 weeks. He is thrilled and I'm sure the boys will be very happy & having a good time!!

Right now I am just going to take deep breaths and focus on their smiling faces.

Joel's Baptism

Joel's Baptism was this past Sunday...it was a wonderful day of celebration!

1. At the alter with Pastor John, Miss Kathy and Aunt Tiggy & Uncle J, Joel's Godparents.

2. A kiss & blessing from his Big Brother Eli.

3. "Get this bonnet off of me!"

4. 3 generations: We have all been baptised in this gown. It was handmade by my Great Grandmother, Momo.

Happy boys = Happy Parents

Check out the latest smiles & giggles from our boys :)
