Malachi is Two Months

Smiling boy turned 2 months on November 5th!

I saved this outfit for three months and almost forgot to take his picture, until Nate reminded me that morning!

Though the pics look similar a photographer mother has to get every expression (believe me we have 600 pictures in this one month, so this is just a choice selection!)

Elijah loves his brother! He hugs him and kisses him (with tongue sticking out). We've been teaching him not to throw toys at Malachi or to kick him but to use loving touches.

"Careful!" now I know why my mom always said that. Look at these guys, loving brothers!

Mr. Becker's Students

One of Mr. Becker's high school music classes led worship for chapel.

Meanwhile he was preparing his middle school worship team to lead as well.

Prayer is great to give glory to God and to center hearts on Him.

Young musicians focused on playing skillfully for the Lord.

The girls singing and clapping to lead their peers in praise to Jesus.

Mr. Becker brings some energy to the middle school boys!

Family Day at the Beach

Two white babies really draw the crowds. Close to what it feels like to be famous...I prefer to be anonymous..

Sarah notice the Monkey shirt!

Crocodile park---scary!

Funny one of E!

Ostriches...these are kind of close, don't you think?

Some Everyday Fun

Brothers! So cute!

Elijah's friend--Sojo.

Going on the slides.

"Around and around...fun!"

I have a pic in this same swing of "before" Malachi was born (see blog in August below). Now he's here! Fun...I should have found the before and after pic, but it is enough just getting these on here.

Keeping him from the sun...cozy boy in the sling. I hardly wash it because what would I do without it?

First time to the ocean..the same place that was Elijah's first.

Elijah's new favorite activity...shoveling.

(Kindergarten sandbox...is it okay to use?)

Fun in the rain with Papa.

Cozy sleeping boy.

Elijah loves checking on Malachi when he cries. He is offering his yellow blankie.

Family of four at the park. Elijah and I come here almost every day.

Sharing water with his buddy Silas.

Great to get time with Malachi--Father and son!
