Marching to a New Beat: Hello Fall

Hello Fall

From football games to walks in the crisp air, we are loving the start of fall here! Plus, we finally get to break out the adorable colder weather clothes for Caleb, especially the awesome hat his Great Aunt Ellen bought!

Tim brought home the trophy from his annual golf outing in Michigan... Caleb was so proud

Wearing dad's hat backwards + fleece vest = recipe for adorableness

Caleb meeting and checking out his new bud David Fossum

They were fast friends

Such a stud muffin

Ready for our walk

Love walking into his room each morning to this little face peaking through the crib!

Toys everywhere!

Can't thank Aunt Sue enough for watching Caleb all day while we went to the Gopher game - he couldn't stop talking about all the fun he had
(so that last part is not entirely true, but if he could talk, I'm sure he would have told us how much fun he had!)

The Name Explained

Introducing our NEW NAME (10/20/12): You may notice that the name of our blog has changed. You see, I've been trying to come up with a more snazzy name for our blog for quite some time, and it was actually Tim who came up with "Marching to a New Beat". I must say though that it's exactly what I was going for and for several reasons. Most obviously, it includes our last name (duh). Secondly (and more importantly), it reflects the newness of the stage we're in as parents and as a family. Everything we are going through right now is brand spankin' new. From giving birth, to changing diapers, to baby proofing our home, we really have no idea what we're doing since we've never done anything like it before... it's all SO new. That's not all though. There's yet another layer to this little onion of a name... I recently joined a weekly bible study called Bible Study Fellowship and we are going through Genesis. Additionally, our small group is reading a book called Forgotten God (by Francis Chan). In both of these studies, I have been repeatedly struck by how we shed our old sinful selves and take on a new being through Christ's death and ressurection. Our lives should reflect this newness, and while we often fail in this endeavor, we are called to march on (with God's help, of course).

And so there you have it... Marching to a New Beat. That's what we're doing everyday, and as often as I have time and relevant content, we'll share this newness with you and hope you enjoy each moment with us.
