trouble... his middle name!

Abel sure likes to get in to trouble... so we have had to block the stairs going up.  Abe is awesome at going up the stairs and still not stellar at going down them...
So Halle had a good time with the couch cushion that was used to block the stairs!

We are beyond grateful for all the blessings that we have received this year and in our life.  We are so grateful for our little family.  We are grateful that we live close to our families and have the ability to make lasting relationships with them.  We are grateful for our jobs.  We are grateful for the Gospel.  We are ultimately grateful  for our Savior Jesus Christ.. and know that our life would be nothing with our his sacrifice.
We are beyond blessed.. and beyond grateful!
