The Silva's: Summer and Fall 2010

Ok so here are some pictures of over summer and fall of this year that are way over due. I apologize for not posting lately it has been a very crazy last six months and this has been the last thing on my mind. But I figure I would start trying to post more regularly now. As most of you know Dave's brother Abel passed this summer and it has no t been easy at all. People say that time heals, I do believe that but it still feels very unreal that he is gone and it is going to take alot of time to heal this wound. He was a very special person that always showed his true spirit to anyone that would pay attention, he could make any one laugh no matter what kind of mood you were in. I can still see his smile, it was contagious! I was blessed to have known him for 12 years and be his sister n law. We will always have a place in our hearts for Abel(boat) and we will make sure that Sam will hear memories and stories of his uncle Abel, because he loved him and Abel loved kids so much. I will miss Abel so much and this year is going to be very hard without his pressence especially with the upcoming holidays but we will get though it together. Please continue to pray for Dave and his family, so that we all find a way to cope with the loss of Abel and find strength in eachother and with God.
On another note Sam is well and is talking up a storm he is a very active little boy to say the least and there is not a day that goes by that he doesn't make us laugh. He is quite opinionated and very strong willed. He loves Buzz light year and batman. He loves to be outside, so this winter should be interesting:) He knows his full name and knows what planet we live on except he insists on calling it Bearth, not sure why but I think its because he makes us laugh when he says it. He has learned this week that he can push chairs up to the counters and see what is on top, so just when you think you are done baby proofing they always find something else you didn't think of:) A great quote I heard the other day was " trying to clean a house with a toddler is like trying to shovel when its snowing" this is so true at least at my house. Well I hope you enjoy the pictures!!
