He's 13!

A couple weeks ago, Will had a couple of changes. He reached a major milestone as he left childhood behind and entered his teen years. That same day he also got something that made him look really different. Can you tell from the above picture?

For his birthday, Will invited some boys over to an airsoft war in the woods behind our new house. 4 boys and 2 dads spent the afternoon tromping around and shooting at each other. They had a grand time. Below are a few pictures from the afternoon:

Fun shooting holes in the silt screen

Emily invited Austin's sister Olivia over to keep her company

By the way, if you didn't notice what's different about Will, he now has glasses.

Happy New Year from the Gilmer's New Home

2 weeks ago today we moved into our new home and it has made for a crazy Christmas season. We spent a relaxing evening last night welcoming in 2010 by eating at the Chinese restaurant with my parents and then hanging out at home shooting off a few fireworks. Since we don't yet have tv service, we toasted the New Year by watching a web cam of Times Square on the computer and listening to James Taylor sing Auld Lang Syne. We look forward to see how God is going to work in our lives in the coming year.

Happy New Years!

The Gilmers
