Hooray for a new battery charger!!

We lost our battery charger when we moved in the middle of July, so any pictures posted since then have either been taken with someone else's camera or Roddy's iPhone.  I have been delaying the inevitable (while quietly mourning all the missed opportunities) due to the outrageous price of replacing it.  Then I remembered my old friend Ebay.  Poor Ebay.  I've neglected you and looked elsewhere, all the while knowing in the back of my head that you'd be there for me again one day.  Well, last week was "the day."  I looked there for a charger, and low and behold I found one for a mere $7.56, including shipping!  Wooo!  (I've since found some precious clothes for Elijah, too.)  I received the charger yesterday when we got home from Asheville (more on that later), and couldn't wait to see what was on my camera's memory!  (Isn't that sad that I had no idea what would be on there?)  So, even though theses we taken at the end of July/beginning of August, they are just too cute to be passed over.  :-)

Our family rafting trip with the Bible Church.

Hahahhahaha.  I just couldn't resist.  Sorry, buddy.

This is Cindy Clark and her daughter, Emma.  Brent, the dad, is Roddy's boss.  They were so great with Elijah, and the look on Cindy's face is just priceless!!  His real fascination was with her feet, but I didn't get a picture of that.

I'm not kidding.  Gabe Dinsmore may just be the sweetest big brother on the face of the planet.

The sweetness continues...

Gabe's 4th Birthday.  We played a LOT of Guess Who tournaments.  :-)  I love the fact that he is getting older and is able to really play with us.  It makes me look forward to things to come, which is a relief, because I tend to be far too sentimental.

Did I lose the chromosome war or what?
