7 Months

You are growing so fast sweet boy! Each month you seem to be filled with more joy than the last.  We LOVE hearing you giggle!  I love making you smile from across the room and seeing your ENTIRE face light up!  You are the sweetest little bitty boy!  Right now, bedtime is your gigglefest...which is funny because getting bathed and the moments before are your most cranky moments. As I get closer to being home with you every day, I think about the blessing that it is to get to watch you and your sister grow.  I'm so grateful that you two have each other to spend your days with.  I looked at you the other night before bed and my heart was just bursting with love and the feeling of joy that I get to watch you grow and learn.  You are everything I ever wanted and never knew I was missing.  Thank you Lord for this blessing!

My Little Explorer

Last week my class threw me an end of year party because I'm staying home next year.  We had so much fun, and they gave me a huge gift basket filled with fun things to do with Emmy and Easton.  On Friday afternoon after dinner, I showed Emerson one of the gifts because I knew she would adore it.  We were about to go on our family nature walk, so it was the perfect time to get out the bug home.  What a reaction! She instantly clutched onto it and began searching for ladybugs to call it home!  We ended the weekend with three little friends calling it home. I hope you never stop exploring and loving the outdoors.  When beauty and image become evident in your little world, I pray that you learn to love the explorer that you are.  I hope you always feel like running around outside barefoot, looking for bugs and seeing everything God made as beautiful, all while wearing your hair up in a messy ponytail and getting dirty.  You are my heart little one.  I love you so much!
