6 Months Old

Adam turned 6 months old on September 21st. He is growing and gaining new personality every day. I wonder what he is thinking about this world, with Katy and Mason contantly causing a ruccus (word ?) around him, jumping, laughing, screaming, fighting... I bet he is thinking, "wow, what have I gotten myself in to around here." Katy seems to be the comedian around here as far as Adam is concerned. He laughs at her all the time, I mean, out loud belly laughing, he will only smile at the rest of us. He also gets "bed buddies" quite often. Katy and Mason both like to climb up in bed with him and play, he doesn't seem to mind though.

I think he might be teething a little bit, he is chewing a lot. He is not sitting up yet, but can balance a little with his hands on the floor in front of him. Of course, he can roll around everywhere, and he likes to play with different toys placed in front of him on the floor.

All in all, he is beautiful! He melts my heart with his sweet smile that spreads out all the way over his face every time we look at him. He is perfect!

We love you Adam!
We love you all!

High Expectations!

There you are, ready for your first day of Pre-K, you are so beautiful and so grown up. I am filled with mixed emotions of joy and pride, and sadness as we see you off to "Big Girl School" for the first time. You are so excited and ready to go. I wonder what kinds of thoughts you have had in anticipation of this day. Have you wondered what it will be like, or who you might play with, or what it will be like to eat breakfast in the cafeteria or to unpack and eat your "packed" lunch for the first time. Have you wondered about the friends you will make and what they will be like. Have you had butterflies in your belly. Have you wondered about your teacher or what it will be like to play on the playground at school, or where the bathroom is. I wonder if you have wondered all or any of these things. I have wondered about all of them and more. I know you will love school and will be a great learner, I also know I will miss you each day, and will wonder how you are and what exciting things you are doing. It seems like just last week we brought you home from the hospital as a baby, and now (2 brothers later) you are starting school, my how time does fly.

Prayers for you!

We pray you'll be safe

We pray you'll learn new things
