travels

~2,000 mile drive from Indy to Portland
~30 hrs flying from Portland to Bangkok
~13 hour drive from Bangkok to our border town
Eva and Elijah are the best travelers ever...Zach's coming along... maybe one more year before he's there. See pics below from our travels-

morning smile :)

Found Eva performing a Bible verse this morning... totally on her own, along with her hat. :) sorry for the blurred picture!

Children obey your parents in the Lord

for this right
the first commandment
may be well with you
and be long on the earth

hiking w/ the kids... the leaves are falling!

pics from today

Zach looking outside the front door and wishing he was out there with Elijah!

Eva's new favorite thing to do- sing into her microphone! Here she is serenading us while waiting for her dinner.

9 months already? Can it be?

Look at this cutie! He's reached the mobile stage that comes just before walking on his own... transferring from one thing to the next, walking along and holding on. I'm so proud of him and just a little sad too that we'll be saying goodbye to the crawling stage soon. Don't you just want to hug him? :)

He's got 4 teeth now too, and one of these days, I'm going to start a baby book for him and get all his "first ever moments" recorded and all the hilarious things he'll be saying one day. For that matter, maybe I'll finally get one going for Elijah too. :) Or maybe I'll get rid of Eva's to make all things fair... would it be ok if Eva has one but neither of the boys do?

One thing I have figured out though, and that is that I'd rather savor today and not get every little thing recorded than constantly stressing over all the details of a project and missing out on these days when they're little. And these days won't be here for long!
