Ezra - 7 week olds pictures

Just a sample of the wonderful pictures that Kristin Hickman took for us of Ezra back in October - Ezra was 7 weeks old when she took these pictures.

Pre-Ezra Belly Photo's

The talented (but soon retiring) Kristin Hickman took our pre-Ezra belly pictures for us and we love them!  I'm not sure why I wanted them done, but I am so glad that we did now that we have them!  Hard to believe that Ezra was squished in there :)

Happy Hallowe'en

Special thanks to Grandma Oliver for finding this adorable outfit for Ezra!  We didn't get any trick or treating in as we were in Edmonton with the McCaw ladies, but I was still able to get pictures of him.  

Baby Shower

Our small group hosted a baby shower for Ezra at the Church and we/he was very blessed!  It was overwhelming to receive everything that we did!  

Steve was not disappointed....we received alot of camo stuff :)

Ezra was a perfect boy the whole shower!

Genesis (my neice) was a great help!

Amanda did a wonderful little talk about "shoes".

October Fun

Ezra's first Kabota ride.  We had to go and check where they are putting the power lines (estimated day of arrival of power lines - Nov 14....YEAH!!!!)

Ezra's 2 month old picture....tuckered right out!

Bath time: He LOVES HIS BATHS!

6 Weeks and Thanksgiving

We Can't believe how fast time has been flying by with Ezra.  Below is Ezra's 6 week picture and it was also our first snow fall - he was by far less than impressed with me.  Ezra and I not only celebrated his 6 week, first snow fall, but it was also our first official outing as we went to Kitscoty Elementary School to see my students from last year.  

Thanksgiving Sunday we dedicated Ezra to our Creator.  It was a God-honoring day for many reasons.  We were privledged to have our good friend and Pastor Ken Fisher dedicate Ezra, we celebrated with four other boys being dedicated (included special pal, Logan Fisher), and our great friend Dale McCaw gave us the charge to raise our sons to love Jesus (little did we realize that it would be the last Sunday that we would have Dale with us).  

As we accepted the charge from Dale, I realized that it was such a big "task" that we were accepting and as I look at Ezra even today, I can only hope that he will always understand how great God is and how full of Grace and Love God has for us.

We had a very busy Thanksgiving weekend.  I took this picture just as we are about to head out to Church Thanksgiving Sunday.
