So Thankful

We are so thankful for all of the sweet blessings in our life--wonderful family and friends, Thomas' job, our home, our health, our ministry, our church family... I am so thankful for the peace, joy, love, and grace that only God can provide. God is so incredibly good to bless us beyond what we can ask or imagine.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

21 Months

21 Months old? How can this be? We almost have a 2 year old??? Wow! Our little girl is really turning into a little girl. Bailey is getting taller (several people said she looked taller this weekend) and she weighs 24.7 pounds.

Saying cheese with Daddy before we head to church.

Bailey's newest things are that she wants to draw/color and she loves to jump. She gets off the ground pretty good! She also loves to "cook" and will make us soup, cookies, applesauce, and cake.

She is starting to put more words together and more clearly repeat what we say. She is a chatterbox and her newest funny phrase is "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" This is the best I could get...

Bailey loves to sing the ABC's and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. She is starting to count and can get up to 10 with some help. More things I need to catch on video...

November

We have some catching up to do!

This is Bailey's buddy, Matt. She was enjoying hanging out with him after our Collide dinner.

This is the yacht that was near the Malibu pier for a few days (bigger than the one that was here before)!

This is the end of the Chinese feast that took place at our house two Friday nights ago. One of our students is Chinese and his mom was visiting from China and wanted to make us dinner. After 3 and 1/2 hours of cooking, the food was delicious!

Playing at the park with Evelyn (and Marianne was there too) :)

Bailey has her jacket on as well as a deflated pool ring. She cracked me up walking around with her outfit and our bag of Halloween candy.

Last Sunday, we had church at the beach...and it was awesome!! We celebrated with 4 students who were baptized in the ocean that morning. It was the most beautiful day and Bailey loved sitting right in front of us digging in the sand. We're trying to figure out how we can have church at the beach more often!

I got in there all by myself...now how do I get out?
