Church

Since Mike is the youth director at our church we spend a lot of time there, so needless to say Gavin is pretty comfortable with the church and how things work. It's pretty neat to see him grow up in that environment and to watch him begin to understand God's love and want to learn more about it! He loves to go to Sunday School and now refers to it as his "class." I love it! He loves all of the kids at church and thinks that he is every bit as big as they are so when it is time for children's church our Pastor asks all of the kids to come up there and he does a lesson with them - when Gavin is awake he loves to go up front, as long as mommy comes to, well Sunday he went up all by himself, sit down on the step and didn't move the whole time. I wanted to stand up and watch him but I knew if he saw me that he would come running back! He really is growing up so fast and although I am sad that he is outgrowing the baby stage I love to watch accomplish new things!

We also had a memorial service for one of our church members that passed away - I thought that I would keep Gavin out there until he got out of hand for the service - the first thing in the service was a song sang by a quartet from our summer choir at church. It was an upbeat song and Gavin loves music, he was clapping and dancing (we were sitting in the back) and when the song was over he says, (rather loudly) "Amen!" It was cute but I am sooooo glad that we were in the back and not very many people heard him!
