Nothing new

This Thursday, we'll celebrate Gabby's 20 months of life by taking off on a roadtrip. Well, really it's just that those things happen to coincide, but don't tell her that. Gabrielle and I will embark on another TN-KY adventure, and Jason will work here until he leaves for youth camp on Sunday. Unfortunately, the timing of all of this means that we'll miss Jason's sermon - which STINKS - but I'm requesting it be recorded somehow.

We've hit that point in the summer where there's not a great deal to tell. I suppose that I could make a list of Gabby's fun expressions - like "Ohhhhh myyyy," "Wha ahooh DOONG?!" (What are you doing?!), "Bow bow?" (I pulled out my hairbow for the 40th time today. Would you please put it back in?) and "Hoo HOOOO!" (complete with fists pumping and dancing feet) - but what fun would that be? I could tell you that Gabby was great entertainment at our Independence Day trip to the Hull House. (Roger and Linda's - not the one from the book) But, again, you'd not find anything unusual about that. One struggles to find unique subjects for each and every blog so that valuable readers such as yourselves will continue subscription. I guess I'm resigned to posting another video to keep your attention.



The author of Ecclesiastes says there's "nothing new under the sun." And this is true. Gabby isn't the first kid to learn to use a fork. Yet, for some reason, my mom will view this video eight times a day, even though she watched her own three girls learn to use utensils. Perhaps it's for the same reason that God maintains intense interest in us - we belong to him.
