How beautiful is this little girl? And how gorgeous is that blessing dress that my sister-in-law made just for her?!
We had a great time chatting and playing with our family! Except that Alissa had to spend a lot of Saturday chasing down her bag that the airport lost, and that night Liam got a fever. So he was pretty sleepy and lethargic for about 3 days, poor little guy.
I really need to get better at taking pictures on trips. Apparently the only things I thought to capture were the blessing and Gavin's first trip to Steak 'n Shake. Equally important events, right?!
In other news:
Gavin got his first tooth this week! We are really hoping that is the reason that he kept us up for three nights in a row...
In the span of just a couple weeks, Gavin has gone from a little baby to a sitter / crawler / stander! He is keeping me on my toes for sure!
Liam has just started a biting and hitting phase, yikes! He is mostly doing it "playfully", but that doesn't make it any less painful. I'm constantly saying "don't hit your brother" or "we don't bite sister"!
But they still have their sweet moments.
Jenna has lately been obsessed with Garfield comics. For three weeks in a row, she checked out every single Garfield book the library had in stock. And she has read them all. I know she doesn't understand most of the jokes, but she laughs at them anyways!
I'm pretty sure this love for comics comes from two years ago when we were getting the Sunday paper in my short attempt at couponing. Jenna looked forward to reading the comics with her dad every week!
Kali and several other mommies have started a twice weekly exercise group. We meet in the church building's gym, bring toys and snacks for the kids, and get our groove on! At our first meeting, one of the girls led a zumba class. And I'm so happy to report that I am not as out-of-shape as I expected! Apparently living somewhere with stairs, carrying Gavin everywhere, and all those dance parties are a better workout than I thought :)
Paul has finally interviewed, chosen, and hired a new assistant! So, things are looking up for him at work.
Hurray for more family time!!

Eliana is so so cute!
Ah, Steak n Shake. We had one good experience there and one not-so-good. So we only went twice in the almost 3 years we lived there. HA.
