Just a little update...

I guess let's start out with who you really care about :)

Rett!

Monday, Rett was 10 months.  Where have the days gone?!

He's gotten so big.  I love it but I sure do miss the days where he would let me snuggle him to sleep.

So, let's see...

We had to go to the doctor for a followup from his 8 month checkup.  They were concerned he isn't gaining weight like he should.  Talk about stressing a Mommy and Daddy out.  Well, he's fine.

He is healthy and active.  But he's still not gaining weight.  In 2 months, he didn't even gain a pound.  SAD!  And it's not for lack of trying.  I am still nursing but I have added in baby foods at 2 meals and lots of snacks so either he's just going to be little like his dad and mom OR because he's super active, he's just burning quicker than I can feed him.  Either way, he's not on the unhealthy range...just in the "keep an eye on" range.  We are thankful either way for a fun and active little guy. We have to go back again next month to see if he's gained or lost.

Hmmm...so, on Monday...HE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!  He has for the last few nights now. (last night not so good but we won't discuss that)  I'm hoping that it catches on and he will continue to do so.  I feel like a brand new mommy - getting all that sleep!  I have forgotten what a full 8 hours will do for ya!  He also cut his 8th tooth Monday.  He's had an eventful week.

He crawls!  EVERYWHERE!  He can pull up and will turn around, stand and then fall to the ground.  He can walk along the couch or surface he's holding on too.  He can high-five.  He can wave when he wants too.  He is all around a happy baby.  He'll go to anyone unless he's tired.  I guess we should start practicing stranger-danger!  Maybe later.  He's just a friendly little one.  We are still quite smitten with him.  He definitely keeps our attention.


Well, if you can't tell, I'm touching a horse in this picture.  Rett didn't want anything to do with him.  I still don't think he ever touched him.  I guess he'll stick to dogs.


We got a new water bottle for him.  He likes to chew on it more than drink water.  That's ok.  He gets some and that's all that matter.


He knows where the tupperware cabinet is and loves to play with them all at the same time.


Since it's been so nice, we go out and sit in the sun.  He hates the grass.  But likes to eat it...go figure.



He's helping his Daddy study his History.


We got to go visit some friends at Gordan Lee for their proms.  Rett loved all the shiny dresses and pretty flowers!!


We love bathtime!!!


He likes to sit backwards in his stroller!  I guess he likes to look at me!  :)

Let's see what else....

Kraig and I are playing softball with the church league.  We are enjoying it.  :)

We are getting ready to go visit our family in PA at the end of the month.  Super excited!!!

We are gearing up for a busy summer.  School is almost out for Kraig so we are just finishing up school, baseball and a graduation this year!!!  WE are super excited!  

I guess that's it.  We have been pretty busy but nothing major has been going on.  We are just enjoying the weather and spending time together.  

Don't forget to get your Roo cup!

Go enjoy this pretty day!  We are about to go out and sit in the sun!  :)

Stay cool...

some praises....

I've started this blog for days now and keep running around in circles of how or what I want to say. Bottom line... God is GOOD.  That's what I keep going back too.  Let's praise Him for a minute.... We have had a great news from our cousins that are battling horrible diseases!  There is still much fight to be had but God is good. We got great news from a friend this morning....their adoption is a GO!  God is good! We have seen God work in our kids lives and our church family in huge ways the past few weeks!  God is good! It's so easy to be in a slump especially with this gloomy weather that we have had.  But God still works.  He works in the small things and even the big things!!!   After the beauty of last week's snow, I found myself loving the parts that were untouched.  I loved looking at everyone's pictures and the beauty of it.  But then...it would get messed up.  People would walk on it, drive throu...

Update...Birthdays, MaryKay and thrift finds

Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday!  It was a great day.  My grandmother came for a visit.  She brought beautiful flowers and some other nice gifts.  Kraig also got me wonderful flowers and box of Gobstoppers.  :)  He still knows the way to my heart ~ a box of Gobstoppers.  He also has set me up with a massage later.  :)  I am real excited about that.  And dinner this weekend, I think.  I don't know but I know he spoils me :)  I love him.  I'm so thankful for all the phone calls and messages yesterday.  It was a truly great day....thanks and this has been the best blessing/birthday gift ever :) Here's my little guy just relaxing.  Rett getting to meet his new buddy, Truett.  Kelly and Julie welcomed their little bundle of joy last Friday evening.  They are going to be close buds, we can tell already.  :) I can't wait to get my hands on this little guy and snuggle him. ...

goodness...will it ever stop?!

Without further adieu.... Kraig and I have been called to a little church out in the valley to serve as youth pastor (and wifey). What a drastic change this will be!?! But a blessing that I never saw coming :) Kraig has been struggling off and on for about a year now about youth ministry and his (our) role with youth. He knew he loved teaching at OCA and we both loved serving the youth at Oakwood. Kraig just wasn't sure if there was more to his struggle than just teaching and just serving at the capacity that we were in. So, with lots of prayer and searching the scripture, Kraig knew that we were supposed to do something more. Well, that was that. We didn't pursue anything, we had a lot going on at our church and we were just getting into the swing of things and really enjoying our youth. About January...I guess... L O N G S T O R Y short ....Kraig got a call from a pastor that I have known probably as long as I have been in the Chickamauga area...and Kraig met thr...
