Winter is Here!!!

It is the middle of November...so it was bound to happen. We've seen a little snowfall a couple of times so far this winter. It's not enough to stick on the ground, but it sure looks beautiful coming down. God's creation certainly is amazing and wonderful and we are thankful to Him for His continued blessings! The snowflakes have not been big enough for Benjamin to see from inside the house yet, but that day will come.

Winter is here. Not just because we have seen the first bits of snowfall, but also because Benjamin has his first cold. So, we are in "get well" mode here. It is just a cold and we are praying that his body continues to fight the virus. He is getting better everyday and we hope he will be well by Thanksgiving (especially since Christian's parents are coming to our house to celebrate).

Our prayer for all of you, as we approach Thanksgiving, is that you are enjoying good health and that you take some time to pause and enjoy God's wonderful creation.

Thank the Lord for...

...happiness. Our big boy was in a great mood today. He has been teething on and off since Saturday. I think the rest of the tooth finally cut the gum early this morning, so he was in a great mood. He now has three teeth and another on the way. He gets a little fussy when he's teething (who doesn't get crabby when their teeth are giving them trouble?!?), but I think he's doing quite well. Since he was in a better mood, I decided to put him on the couch. That way he could continue practicing to sit like a big boy without actually sitting on the floor (since we are trying to catch our second mouse in the last three weeks). I sat him up in the corner of the couch and he immediately gave me a great, big smile. I quickly moved him back to the floor while I grabbed our camera, then put him back on the couch to snap a few pictures. These are the best of the pictures I took. I'm including the close-up picture, even though it is a bit blurry. I still think it's a great picture. Please enjoy and God bless your day!
P.S. Can you spot all three of our big boy's teeth?
