cole looked so cute in his little striped baby gap onesie, khaki's and baby "converse" shoes... unfortunately, he didn't want to cooperate for a front-view pic. but you get the idea!
cole's first "sack 'o potatoes" ride!
lost under the covers...
still lost...
a little less lost...
aha! mind you, all this wonderful exciting play was BEFORE meeting; amazingly he sat really well, considering he'd rather be crawling in circles these days. he got a bit crabby at the end (think: ear-piercing shrieks that warranted a lengthy pause before the emblems, giving me enough time to escape to the spare room- thanks, gene!!), but all in all, sat reasonably well, thanks to the life-saving construction equipment book! the funny thing is, union meeting is usually about as long as regular sunday morning meeting (about 1 1/2 hours on average), and it seems he knows when it's going to be shorter and the anticipation of sitting less actually makes him more antsy. funny, the way kids work! anyway, after meeting we went out to mi amigo ricardo's for lunch with the smit's and the johnson's, which was a lot of fun. oh, and eva's last night was WONDERFUL... i'd recommend it to anyone travelling down this way. in fact, they just opened a new one in casa grande, we were told. neat! great food- we enjoyed it a lot.
now that we have a definite date for moving home, we're realizing just how much we'll miss everyone here. it doesn't fail to amaze me how things are in the truth, with the friends. if we weren't in truth, i don't know if i'd have been able to do this, moving practically across the continent, not knowing anyone. the hospitality and love that is shown through God's people is beyond my understanding sometimes... how often would someone be willing to take in complete strangers? in this day and age, it's not really a safe bet anymore... we've really enjoyed the friends here!
