Enter new phase: toddler

The joy of making messes. 

Sigh. 

It has come all too soon.

 And on a side note, just when I think Callin is 3 going on 13, he pulls this little stunt and rips up half of the Holy Bible (in Portuguese none the less) and pushes himself back down to toddlerhood all over again. 

ps.  that would be my new tiled kitchen floor; goodbye white tile and daily mopping!

Give Thanks!

It is so wonderful to spend a month focused on all of our blessings.  We have so much to be thankful for.  Our highlights from Thanksgiving include:

that Aunt Deedee came to town...

that we got to go to Dallas and have so much fun...

that we got to spend time with family we love much...

 for beautiful and healthy children...

...and for a really, really great guy who adores all things social (kissing me, connecting with people, conversation, chatting on the phone, reading all my emails, girls night...)
