The Scooting Has Begun...

Well, Gabriel has a new trick. He's mobile! He's not technically crawling yet, but scooting all over the place. Check out the video. I will be posting new pictures soon!

I made the first leap of starting this blog, now I guess I have to keep up with it :o) So here's a quick update about our family... (some from Josh, some from me)

Things have really picked up for our family in the new year. We enjoyed having Josh's family here for a weekend of celebration. We had Gabriel's dedication and Josh's baptism on the same day!


This is Gabriel after his bath. He just loves playing with his feet.


All the little ones playing and having a good time. Kyla really wanted to hold Gabe all day. Gabe is trying to figure out what is on dad's face and if it comes off or not. He loves looking at your teeth.


Chad and Jenny brought over their Wii and we played games all evening. Dad is the Bowling champion. Chad and I played tennis for a long time and Chad got really into it. I ended up sitting on the couch and still winning. Its all in the wrist.


It was great to have every one come support me while I was baptized. I had my friends from my men's small group stand up there with me.


We had a wonderful time with the family. Gabriel is still trying to understand how to play with his cousins, but I think they will have so much fun in the very near future!

We also enjoyed a visit from Josh's mom just the past couple of days. She was able to spend some quality time with Gabriel and was a great help around the house as well :o)

I am back in school full-swing and Josh is on the job hunt. Keep us in your prayers for Josh to find a job and me to keep my sanity!

New Blog!

Josh and I have been talking about starting a blog now that Gabriel is a part of our family. So here we go, this is my first attempt at this so bear with me for a while! I will try to update it as often as I can.

Christmas for us was fun and relaxing with the Ingersoll side of the family. We enjoyed a day of movies, friends, and family. We missed the Bonnell side, but we will be seeing them very soon!

Gabriel will be six months old on January 13th and I can't believe how fast he is growing and changing! Josh weighed him yesterday and he came in a 16 pounds. He has now doubled his birthweight of 7lbs 15oz. He "talks" to us all the time and enjoys his "tummy time". He is very good at rolling over now and is working on sitting up all on his own. If we set him up, he will stay for a little while, but is still a bit wobbly. He is very good at push-ups and everytime he gets to his hands and knees I am reminded that my life will be changing soon! Right now it is very convenient to let him play on the floor, but I know that I'll have a lot of chasing to do once he's moble. We are enjoying every minute of being parents. It is a wonderful responsibility we have been given.

This is our introduction. I'll post more when I get a chance!
