the halo

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:8-11

Recently we made it to church on Wednesday night. No small feat for us. Of course, someone in all of the "we are about to be running late" madness forgot to put Ryne's shoes on. We didn't realize this until we got to church. We panicked, laughed and then carried him in. Hey, at least he was wearing socks... plus we got to see him wearing a halo (that's a rare thing, ya know). wink.

thankful

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God... 1 John 3:1

walking

Emma Kate (a little over 10 months old) is now walking! She wobbles around from room to room... picking up items along the way. She is also clapping her hands, pointing, and giving high fives. She recently got her top two front teeth and is now eating table foods like banana pieces & blueberry muffin tops. She is not quite the eater her brother was at this age. I say so many times "He lives to eat and she eats to live".

Still gives those slobbery kisses... we love.

day three...

Sunday morning was absolutely beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better day; spent the morning on the beach, took some great pictures of the family and then said goodbye to Uncle D & Aunt Reecie. That afternoon we played on the beach, then watched our last sunset.

Emma Kate and I watched the sun rise Monday morning. Note: Because of the time change we were up EXTRA early. After breakfast we packed up (EK slept) and headed home.
