Lena's first jam session |
As Fever for Lena, Pt. 1 (link) assured everyone, our 16 ½
month old Lena is all better now! Tonight
is another Daddy-daughter night, and Lena is lying on my lap as I type this
blog. We’re thankful that she’s back to
her normal, energetic self again. How energetic is she, you ask?
Even after just waking up from a nap together with Daddy after work, we could barely keep the camera on her!
However, the rest of us are still burning with a fever for
Lena photos from 2012. Feed a cold and
starve a fever, right? Well, we’re
flipping that old adage around tonight to make sure that fever gets fed. Let’s pick up where we left off at the end of Tuesday's “Garth’s Blog” photo-fest:
In November, Brent and Cheryl invited us to their house in Bend for Thanksgiving dinner...
The next day...
...The grandparents watched Lena so we kids could have some grownup time —Hiking, skateboarding, a live music festival at 10 Barrel, and dancing!
….Lena relished Daddy’s final moments of scruff by nestling
her face against his “No Shave November” beard.
… But the most exciting thing about the holidays was
celebrating Lena’s second Christmas!
An early Christmas Eve with the Easons |
Christmastime with Lena was even better this year, with our
baby girl becoming more aware of the season! Still, we couldn’t help but wonder if emphasizing the birth of Christ while pushing
Santa Claus on Lena is sending mixed messages…
Too soon? Lena, nearly 15 months old, isn’t quite sure what to make of our AChoG Christmas Extravaganza’s Santa Claus.

Maybe Santa will get a warmer reception next year.
**********
Aside from some recent sleeping problems, Lena seems to be
feeling much better these days.
Hallelujah! In fact, I just took
a break from blogging to finish rocking that precious little girl to sleep a few hours
ago.
Daddy-baby nights like these are
something to be treasured…in sickness and in health!
Coming next week on BlogSpot…
I twist Kathy’s arm for her to blog about Brent and Cheryl’s fabulous
wedding in Sunriver!
And then…
...an E.P.I.C. Student Ministry Update!
