Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

This Christmas season was a season of new beginnings for the Bowers. We began, but did not finish an Advent Calender. Jadon was successful in memorizing Isaiah 9:6 and in impromptu fashion recited it at our house church when we were reading Jesus Birth story out of Luke. Jadon gave out all the presents and got some pretty cool ones as well. Looking around at the gifts and cards that came from family and friends reminds me daily of how blessed we are and of God's continual presence in our lives. When we are not able to spend this precious time with loved ones, we are not forgotten. Please know that you are all in our hearts and prayers.

(P.S. mom... I love the socks!)

An ElfYourself dance for you...

This is lots of fun! Jadon and Ian love watching this.

Can't tell which ones I put together can you?

I'm so proud of Jadon, we had a lot of fun

Baby Sign

We were more consistent teaching Jadon sign language, but every once in a while, Ian will surprise us and use a sign. He started signing at 11 months and so far has "eat", "more", and "milk" down. Milk is the latest addition to his repetoire.
Oh! He is now preferring to walk vs crawling, but not all that steady on his feet yet.

Isaiah 9:6

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
