Let the cross be our glory And the Lord be our song, By mercy made holy, By the Spirit made strong

December in Texas
Despite all of our final exams at the beginning of this month, we have managed to buy and decorate a christmas tree, decorate our yard with lights (pictures to come soon), and most special to me, bound the wreath that my family used year after year for our christmas at home :). Lena is pulling herself up on everything and everyone that is willing, and her crawling speeds are amazing. We are down to only three meals a day with a snack now and then, she is becoming so big! The sweetest thing in the last few days was when Lena started waving. She will raise her whole arm all the way up and open and close her fingers, all with a huuuge smile on her little face :) She also finds great pleasure in handing all kinds of things to me and laughs when I take them out of her hands. She finds that this works even better with mickey, as he will follow her around now to see if she can pick up anything edible and give it to him. Which she happily does. Every once in a while she will spot the kitty somewhere and crawl as fast as she can to get her. She never does. So here are some pictures of decorating efforts and Lena :)
November
It is getting cold! :) We even had snow here in Houston one day late in November. Our little family is doing great! We moved into a small house with a big yard at the beginning of this month. We are settled, unpacked, and are just loving it. Mickey and Lena especially love the yard, the kitten is slowly getting used to her expanded territory. Andrew and I both are getting to do yardwork now, Andrew mows, I rake,.. its been fun! Lena now has four teeth, two on the bottom, two on the top, and her head keeps growing more hair :), finally. We are getting tired of hearing : " How cute, how old is your little boy?" So computer geek of a brother told me how to batch resize my pictures so that I can hopefully upload way more pictures with way less trouble now. Lets give it a go.

We have TEETH!!!
Seems like October was the month for those teeth finally to come out! Yay, Lena has been biting everything that she can grab and stuff in her mouth (surprisingly, a whole lot more items than you think fall in that category). This month we managed to do quite a lot of fun stuff, anywhere from just walking around, swimming in the pool, camping, to going to the zoo! Enjoy the pictures :)
