For Aunt Christin
Dear Aunt Christin,
We miss you terribly. I keep trying to come see you, but it seems no matter how hard I try, I can't get there. My plane doesn't fly, my motorcycle doesn't go anywhere. Please come home soon.
Love,
Gabriel

The circus
A couple of weeks ago we took Gabriel to the circus. He had a pretty good time as far as we could tell. He watched intently when the animals were out and he enjoyed playing with his red nose.
We thought it was going to be a really good circus, at least it should have been for considering how much the tickets were! It turns out it was an ok circus. It was only a one ring and the only animals they had were horses, dogs, and one elephant. It was still fun though and we enjoyed watching Gabriel watch the show.
Gabriel's pose for most of the night. We had pretty good seats and a nice bar in front for him to lean on.
He didn't really like having the nose on himself, but he liked playing with it when it was on Daddy.
And this is just a picture I liked. I took quite a few pictures of the show, but some of the acts just seemed a little unnecessary. I wonder how they get real people to do some of those things.

Mother's Helper
The church we've been going to here, Redeemer Presbyterian, has this wonderful program called "Mother's Helper." The church has a lot of members that are college students and some of the young women volunteer a little time each week to help moms at home. As of last week, I have a helper. It's a little strange having someone come in to help clean your house though. I feel like I need to clean my house before she comes. I am also a little apprehensive about just putting her to work on one end of the house while I work at the other end. At least having her here is incentive to make me work harder though. She is coming tomorrow afternoon and I have already made a list. I don't want to make her do any grose things, but then again, those are the things I really don't want to do!
The whole purpose of the program is for the young women to get to know the married women, to help with the house, and the kids, and for the married women to be a godly example of a wife and mother to the younger women. So far, in the little time I've had, I have really enjoyed it. I hope that she has too.
