Sleeping John

He fell asleep in record time on Tuesday night - must have been all the wrestling with Grandpa!

Icons

Our icons for the iconostasis arrived this week! They are beautiful.

Video

This video isn't all that different from the one I posted a couple weeks ago but I just couldn't resist. That boy is too cute when he's playing church. I really love our little FlipVideo; it's so easy to quickly catch the kids in action.



On another note, Gabe's birthday was so fun. It was very low key but I tried to make the whole day special rather than having a big party. Gabe hasn't really met any other boys his age yet and I was a little worried he'd feel the lack. We did invite Sam to come bowling, then we ordered pizza and had cake back at home. Gabe also got to choose all the meals for the day, I made a fun fabric garland to decorate the kitchen and we all played with his birthday presents.

Gabe turned 5 today!

Gabe is 5

I'm tired after a fun day so you'll have to click on the pictures to find out more about his big day!

Morning & Night

We had the yummiest breakfast on Saturday...I couldn't resist taking a picture.

John loves to wash dishes these days. Often he's fighting me for space over the sink. And see how much better his face looks?
