Gavin Turns 2!

I know I have been a bad blogger. Our family has been sick since Oct. 13th. We have not had everybody well in over a month. We are still fighting colds and coughs. We have been busy settling into our new area here in San Clemente. We are very involved with our church (Compass Bible). The kids love going and whenever Gavin pretends to drive a car he tells me he is going to church. Avery is still in gymnastics. She goes on Monday and everyday she gets up and asks if it is Monday.
My camera has not been working very well, when I can figure it out I will take pictures of Avery at the gym and of our house. I also will have to post Halloween pictures when I can get them from my sister.
Gavin turned 2 on Nov. 2nd and we can't believe how big he is getting. He is talking in complete sentences and wants to keep up with his very verbal sister. Gavin completely adores Avery and wants to do EVERYTHING she does. Though Avery knows her physical limitations, Gavin thinks he can climb and jump off of anything. He gives his Mommy a heart attack a lot of the time.
Baby number three is due in about 7 weeks and I am ready to have this baby. Being big and chasing a very active two year old definitely has its challenges. I am not as fast as I am without the belly. Avery is very enamored with my belly. She talks to her sister all the time and wants to feel the baby move. We do not have a name for this little one but Avery calls her "sis".
Dan's rehab continues to go well, so we will see what God has in store for us next season!
We hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving! We are thanking God for all the blessings we have in our lives.
Love,
The Giese Family

Here are some pictures of the pumpkin patch, Gavin's Birthday, and just hanging out with the kids!
