mall train

We just got back from Nashville and the outlet mall there had probably the coolest little train that drives through a portion of the mall.  We got our tickets, hopped in the caboose and then waved to all the people we passed on our ride through the mall.  Micah loved it and even got to pull the bell after our ride.

Meanwhile, Gideon has gotten his top two teeth, has finally decided he'll take a bottle and will be crawling before long I expect.  He gets up on all fours and flops himself down to his belly to get the extra inches he needs to reach something or will army crawl a bit in order to get a closer view of whatever he's after.  He's getting more interactive, lights up with a big smile if Micah starts talking to him, and Micah loves talking to Gideon.  Sometimes so much so, that he wakes Gideon up by climbing in his crib in order to start the day. :/

7 months

He's a squirmy little thing, and rolled over to get to the block when I paused for a second.  

Dedication

Children are a gift of the Lord, and we pray that Gideon allows God to use him for His glory.

February

Micah was learning how to make a snowball.

 Gideon sits up all by himself, now.

My own shovel

snow

Not yet quite enough snow outside today for the construction workers so we tried a recipe for indoor snow.
