So Daryl left for Amsterdam on Saturday morning, and the one thing that is the most stressful for me while he is gone is going to church. Emma has really become a great kid during sacrament meeting, but Gabe is another story. It's usually like a WWF match and usually Daryl takes care of it. Which I am so very appreciative. Yesterday was a special day because two of the young men who've been such a huge part of our lives spoke. One is leaving to Argentina and one was coming home from Argentina. So I really wanted to listen to their talks. During Ryan's talk Gabe was pretty good. But when Ryan said Amen at the end of his talk Gabe yells out (he has no volume control) AMEN! WE'RE DONE! Needless to say most people in the chapel started laughing.

New Knees
I HAVE NEW KNEES! Now I just need to learn how to walk on them and stuff. On Wednesday we got to the hospital at 9:00 am. I was supposed to go into surgery at 11:00 but I was delayed until 3:00pm. I didn't get up to my room until 8:00pm. It was a long day and I hadn't eaten anything so we immediately started on ice chips. The ice at St. Als is like Sonic ice. I love Sonic ice. So I just keep getting more. After ice comes jello and then some toast. I started doing exercises during the night.

Gabe
This week Gabe celebrated is third birthday. I has made the best of the last few months of being a terrible two. So we'll see what this year brings. I am constantly reminded of the miracle it is to have him in our family. Way back to when we were adopting Daryl lost his job. Which delayed our adoption just long enough for Gabe to become available to be adopted. It was a trial at the time but enduring has brought the greatest blessings. So we have had him for almost two years and in that time he's grown and changed so much. This is a picture of our first night together. This was taken after his traumatic first bath. The best part was that I bathed him first and he screamed the whole time and then I dressed him. Emma was next and he screamed the whole time for her. It had been a big day.

Feeding the ducks
This fall has been full of lots of fun activities. So here are some highlights. We went over to HP one evening and fed the ducks. They have a park there so we got some good pictures of the kids playing.
