A Precious Gift

A few days before Christmas we received a large package. It contained cookies, candies and lots of goodies. The boys were not interested in all the treats but had a great time with the box. Seeing them in the box reminded me of the verse "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him." (Psalm 127:3 NLT). We hope you all had a Merry Christmas.

Photo Update!

Alex is 15 months old today! Here he is standing but not walking yet!
Wednesday, Gabby and Mommy went to go see The Moscow Ballet group perform the Russian Nutcracker. We had dinner and then went to the ballet. It was a great girls night out.

The boys with their hats!

Reindeer Run

Can you hear the bells jingling? It's the runners in the Reindeer Run. Saturday the entire Davis clan participated in a 1.5 mile run prior to the St. Augustine Christmas Parade. We actually ran the parade route. This was Gabby's first official race and she did AWESOME! She ran the whole way. Mommy pushed the boys in the jogging stroller while Gabby and Daddy ran side by side. Gabby was a natural. She showed such athleticism out there on the open road. She was so pleased with her accomplishment, and so were we. Here are some pictures from the race.

Gabby finished the 1.5 mile race in 13 minutes (Gabby's in the distance in the center of the photo wearing a pink t-shirt)

Did we mention she ran the whole 1.5 miles! Go Gabby! Gabby and Daddy (running partners)

Chatting on the Phone

This evening I was able to capture on camera Alex talking on the phone with Greg. He was having a long conversation with Daddy all in his baby talk of course. I thought I would share them with all of you. There just too cute!

12.2.08 One Year Later

Here is a recent picture of Gabby, Alex & Matthew. Yesterday, I posted about being "TAGGED". My 4th photo folder and the 4th picture happened to be of the kids exactly one year ago. So, I thought it would be a cute idea to take a picture of them in the same position and location. This year Alex was not being cooperative and Matthew actually smiled. I believe Alex is crying and laughing, hence the funny looking face!

Update on Alex

Alex wearing his new monkey hat and matching mittens. Too cute!

Alex standing but not walking yet.

My little fella is not doing so well. After a whole week of fever, runny nose, congestion and coughing I finally took him to the doctor yesterday, the prognosis...double ear infection. Poor boy! He is now taking amoxicillin and some eye drops. His right eye started swelling and turning red on Sunday. Please be praying for Alex for a quick healing and recovery from these ear infections.

PS Publix Pharmacy will fill amoxicillin for FREE!

Baby & The Grandkids!

My parents came for a surprise visit several weeks ago and here is my favorite picture from our time together. All of the grandchildren call my Mom "Baby". We love and miss you Baby and Abuelito very much!

I've Been Tagged...

While reading my sweet friend Dana's Blog, and seeing the adorable picture she posted I realized at the end of her post I was being TAGGED! So, I am sure you are wondering what that means. The instructions for this tag are to pick the 4th picture folder on your computer; choose and post the 4th picture; explain the picture; and tag 4 other people to participate. Here it goes:

This picture was taken on December 2nd 2007. I just realized tomorrow will be a year since this picture was taken. I had the kids laying on our bed and wanted to take a picture of all of them since Alex was awake and cooperative. Alex is a little over 2 months old here. As you can see Matthew dose not look so happy. He was not interested in taking anymore pictures. Oh, how they have grown since then.

So now I tag...
