Silas looked so cute in his new outfit Gran bought him yesterday. Thanks Gran and Grandad for the new outfit! When I put his outfit on he kept looking at himself in the mirror and smiling. He now smiles for the camera when we take his picture. He really is growing up quick:(
This parade was so fun for us. It was pretty much on our street. I think Silas really enjoyed it. We will definitely go back next year. He's also sporting his new backpack/leash. It's been really helpful and sometimes frustrating for Silas.
Silas' Aunt Kristy bought him paint for his birthday and we decided to play with them today. Outside there is about a foot of snow and actually it's a little warmer today, at freezing or a little above:) Silas liked playing in the paint, but I think he liked playing in the water better. Thanks Kristy for the paint, I'm sure we will play with them more in the future.
I have been reading this book by Dave Harvey "When Sinners Say I Do" and have learned so much. I recommend this book to all married couples. I am reading now about understanding I am the worst of sinners. Some other quotes from the book that I need to grow in are: "When I find myself walking in the shoes of the worst of sinners, I will make every effort to grant my spouse the same lavish grace that God has granted me," and "understanding I have an ongoing need of a Savior." You probably know we have been remodeling a house, and it seems like that is all I think about here lately rather than caring for my husband. I am thankful for this book and will hopefully finish reading it. I always start a book, get halfway through and start another one.
Our 100 year old house is getting a little facelift. We are moving the existing kitchen into another room and tearing down a wall to make it more open, and redoing the original hardwoods. Kevin and our friends here in RI have been working so hard at making this happen, we have a contractor doing the major work. We move in now not until Jan. sometime.
