4 years later

Gavin continues to be quite creative. He draws, creates with legos, and builds houses on Minecraft. Last week he decorated this "witches house" with stickers:
He liked it so much he asked to sleep with it in his bed. We compromised by putting it his room while he slept.
 
 Last Saturday I worked and Jake volunteered with Habitat for Humanity. My good friend Robyn watched Gavin for us. Robyn, Gavin, and her dog Micah visited petsmart and a pumpkin patch. Afterward, Robyn helped Gavin construct this to his specifications:

Today marks 4 years since Gavin joined our family.

 Gavin did not want to pose for a family photo this afternoon. I got him to do so by asking if he wanted a baby to come live with us. He said he did. I explained that we need family pictures so that we can be chosen to adopt another baby. He said "O-tay!" and came right over. We are all definitely ready for another child.
