Growing...

Silas' hair is growing before my eyes. I couldn't resist a little styling one day. It lasted about an hour.

He really looks like such a big boy when he brushes his teeth, I mean gums.

He's either going to be a dentist, orthodontist, or work for Oral B.

Just gotta get a few pearly whites first.

I feel like I'm growing up too. I went from DNOW student, to leader, to Host Home this past weekend.

These girls grew up before my eyes. I've had them since they were freshman and now as seniors they had their last Disciple Now at the house I grew up in. (I'm holding back nostalgic tears.) Love you beanie babies!

It was an exciting, exhausting, and exhilarating weekend. God is good.

Then we reunited with our "newly-wed" small group leaders and brought all these growing babes.

You all have been prayed for even before you started growing too fast.

It has been an amazing extended fall, and I love that it's not over yet. Silas and I experienced some more colorful goodness on a recent walk. Thanksgiving here we come!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited!

My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
