Christmas

Wow! What a Christmas. This was definitely the best Chrismas ever. There is no greater joy than to see the excitement of your child at Christmas time. We had a long day with Gavin awaking at 6 am. He loved all of his gifts except the clothes. He was kinda out on clothes which was really funny. He enjoyed opening up the gifts and he is very particular and wants every piece of wrapping paper off the packages.

This Man Called Jesus

This year Madison was able to play the part of Baby Jesus in This Man Called Jesus. These are pictures of her last performance. She was 4 for 3. She was really good during 4 of the performances and she cried during 3. The last night she did a wonderful job and was locked in on me while Joseph was singing to her. God has really blessed us and we are fortunate that both Gavin and Madison got to play this part with me playing the part of Mary.

Lights at the Zoo

We went to the Lights at the zoo last night with our friends the Delaney's and Love's. Gavin really enjoyed looking at all the lights and even started tapping his foot to the music light show at the sea lions.

Update on Gavin's MRI

Sorry for the delayed notice. Gavin had his follow-up MRI done the end of September to look at
the cyst on his brain. We just got the results last week and we have good news. His head is growing faster than the cyst and it appears that the cyst has gotten smaller. He will not have to have another MRI until he starts sports and they will do another one at that time so we have a few years until that starts. As for his kidney we will go for an ultrasound the first part of January to get the status of that.

Trying to get a Christmas Card Picture

Trying to get a good Christmas card picture can pose quite the challenge with a baby and a 16 month old. It took quite a while to finally get a good picture I could use on our card. I wanted to share some of the pictures I took in trying to get a good one.
