Big boy

Oops, it has been a long time again - over two months! I look back at the previous posts and he looks so different. He's starting to look so much less like a baby. Sad.

We continued with our busy summer. J called it "Summerpalooza." I think I'm glad it's over. We went to MN at the end of July and I headed over to WI for a family reunion while J went up to the Boundary Waters with some college friends. It was going to work out perfectly, but the night that we got there Abel came down with a fever and was sick the whole time, with roseola. Poor guy.

Hanging out with Uncle Nik

With Aunt Sandy

Abel & cousin Jocelyn
Reading with Grandma - with a terrible rash :(

After we got back from our trip, it was time to move! We have lived in a one-bedroom apartment since before Abel was born, and he was growing out of it. God was so faithful to provide for us in a few weeks, and we moved at the end of August. We are thankful for more space!

Helping pack
And unpack (this is at the new place and we had already put the tupperware away - taking it out is one of his favorite activities)

We went to see J's sister last weekend as it had been several months. Abel loved it. They have a dog and a swimming pool, two of his favorite things.

Here are some more pictures from the past couple months. He's getting so big! I can't believe it has almost been one year. He's such a great little boy and we love him lots!
