Silly Shirt

Gabriel started his dinner by drinking water out of a big cup. He got a little enthusiastic and spilled it down his shirt. To solve this wet problem, he did the following:


I'm sure my hysterical laughter didn't encourage him at all. :)
(Happy birthday, mom!)

New Backyard

New House!

So we bought our first house and moved in on Saturday. Here are some pictures.
New living room:
(recessed lighting on the ceiling)
New office:
(not even close to functional at the time of this photo. Yes, the walls are light purple.)
New kitchen:
(thank you Linda and Sara for helping pack and unpack!)
New Gabriel's room:
(painted a cool jungle green)
New formal dining room:
(other half of living room)
During the crazy last week in our old place, Paul built this amazing bonfire in our fireplace. It was nice to take off a few minutes from the insane packing to enjoy some time together as a family and absorb all that was going on.

Happy 19 Months

Gabriel turned 19 months old today. I took this classic carpet picture of him. I haven't been great at taking pictures of him every month. But he's growing. And talking. I'm hoping we have better lighting at the new house.

Sweater Run

Gabriel brought my sweater to me last night and wanted me to put it on him. He thought it was funny and ran up and down the hallway several times.

Playing Guitar

Here's a cute video of Gabriel playing the rubberbanjo and singing along.

Flowers and Stickers

Gabriel 1/29/09 and Gabriel 2/27/08, almost a year ago.

Yay for stickers! While mom is crazy with working from home and packing (yes, we bought a house! more info to come), Gabriel gets to play with stickers. He loves them and they bought me about 10 minutes of work time (minus the time it took to capture his cuteness).
