Absence

I have not forgotten the blog.... I really want to post regularly... Life gets so busy sometimes.... I'll try to get some pictures up this week!

Nothing is new here as far as our lives go.... 

Gabe still loves school and riding the bus.  He still plays with Hudsen all the time and some other friends... Brady, Coen, Alex.  He LOVES to color and will make a bee-line for his coloring books, markers, crayons, pencils, and notebooks as soon as he gets home or when he wakes up in the morning.  Lego's and watching TV (power rangers, avengers, americas funniest home videos, phineas and ferb are all favorites) are also activities he likes.  Transformers are OK but not as fun as they used to be.  Anytime mom will read to him is a good time.  He has homework nearly every week night.

Andrew is as busy and emotional as ever!  He loves attention from Gabe... except when he hates it.  He likes to play cars and tractors and trains.  He also loves to "write" in his notebooks with pencils and crayons.  Stickers are pretty fun, too.  He wants us to push him in his swing a lot... but we hardly every do :-(.  Andrew loves any and all time with his momma and will beg me to read him books in the morning and before bed.  He also lets me borrow his lunch box when I go to work.  Andrew also loves "chachel" (Rachel) and going to her house every day.  He loves his babysitter Kylie and his stuffed animal from 'Build-a-Bear', "Friendly".  His FAVORITE thing to watch on TV is "funniest videos eva" (as he says it).

Aaron and I are well.  Nothing new; busy with work.  We lost a friend, supporter, and church member this weekend as Harold Grebe passed away.  We will both miss him and his support to our church and family.  Not to mention the kindness and love and appreciation Harold always showered on us.  It is a BIG loss for our church and we are sad.  Harold's funeral will be Wednesday and thankfully I have the day off so I will be able to go.  It will be the first funeral I have gone to in our church here!  We were asked to bring a salad for the lunch and we are happy to contribute.  Aaron will assist in the service with pastor Raether.
