New Mom Moment

I wanted to write this as a seperate post because I feel it is pretty significant, at least to this new mom. On Friday, Isaiah and I had a rough morning. He was cranky and I was emotional, so you can imagine the tears that were flowing at our house. But during this time of frustration, the Lord revealed Himself to me. I had been thinking that even though I was frustrated with Isaiah at this moment, I love being at home with him and am envious of other people who get to spend time with him. I know that it is important that he learns to stay with others, and I love the help that my family and friends give me as I learn this mommy business, but I love the fact that he has a special smile when I walk into the room, or cries when I leave, or will only settle down for me at times. As I was thinking about all this, the Lord revealed to me that this is the same for him regarding me. He loves me so much that he is jealous of the time I spend with others and consumed by other things, things of this world. He wants me all to himself, so much that he provided a way for this relationship through his Son. I am so blessed to be a child of the King and yet I try so hard to do things on my own. As I watch my son learn to be independent and do things on his own, I am reminded that it is also my responsiblity to teach him to be dependent on our Heavenly Father.

Busy Weekend

We have had a busy weekend. Friday evening Adam's mom, Grandma Nola came to visit.

Isaiah had fun playing with Grandma.

On Saturday, Isaiah went to his first basketball game. One of Adam's coworkers has a daughter who plays in a summer league, so we went to watch. I didn't get many pictures because Isaiah wasn't cooperating :) After the game, we went to Burger King where Isaiah enjoyed a french fry.

Then, Saturday evening, we opened a Christmas present that isaiah was finally old enough to play with and enjoy.

But of course, Isaiah liked the box the best!

Thanks Grammy and Papa (my parents)!

First Tooth

Isaiah is in the process of getting his first tooth!!! Right now it is barely visible but he is definitely a bit more irritable so I know it won't be long before it pops out :) I'm kind of sad though; I love his toothless grin. Teeth will completely change his look!

Pictures

I thought I would just do a picture post -- these are random shots from the last couple of weeks.

Wet and Wild

Yesterday Isaiah and I went to the Zoo with my sister Tiffany and two of her daughters, McKynzi and MaKayla. All three kids had a blast playing in the water and eating sno cones. But by the time we left, we were all hot, sticky and ready for naps!

New Blog Site

We are crossing over into the world of "blogging"!!! As things are moving fast around our house, our previous site was not allwing us to do all we wanted, so I started this blog so you all can be a part of what is going on in our lives.
