If I didn't have rabies before, I certainly do now

Baby rabies, that is.

While T's sister was on a multi-state journey today, the Timmy and I watched our nephew L for her. At four and a half, to call him active and hyper would be an understatement. That boy got some energy. We all had a fun (and busy) day that ended with us helping us with his bedtime routine. That's where the things happened that made me fall in love with my husband even more and made my case of wanting a child explode even more.

Part of the routine includes reading a story (or two) and bedtime prayers. L wanted his Uncle Tim to read the stories. While I was watching, I saw the man that he could (and he will!) become when we have kids. It was such a sweet and precious sight: T and L, cuddled up on the bed reading a bedtime story.

But prayer time was really what made my heart explode. L said his own sweet little prayer and asked God and Jesus to help protect a bunch of people individually, including us, his mommy and, sweetest of all, his new stepfather and stepsister. I swear I'm too emotional. That brought tears to my eyes.

His ending, though, was an awesome (and totally needed) prayer ending: "Lord, help us all."

:explode:

Uncle Bef says:

Happy 4th Birthday, Lucian!!!!

We love you, kiddo. :)

Getting busy...

Life is getting pretty busy. This poor blog is suffering. :( It doesn't help that I feel tired these days more than I used to (even though I won't admit that I am tired to Timmy). Perhaps I'm getting sick... Oh well. On with the blog!

We went to Oklahoma last weekend in April. I had a blast seeing family and meeting adorable little babies. Oh and COWS!

Timmy and Lucian: Two boys with a love for video games


Of course we went to the memorial in OKC. Little chairs in memory of the littlest victims. :(


Timmy likes to eat babies. Poor Joslyn.

I love this chubby baby picture and I love this cute baby!

My next blog will be about the rest of our trip. Texas, here we come!
