Thomas - 2 Months

These last 2 months with Thomas have flown by!  So much so that I'm a week late in posting this but the pictures were taken on the 18th so at least they're on time.

We had a doctor visit on the 19th to check him out and let him get his first round of shots.  He's put on some weight coming in at 11lbs 1 oz.  And he's grown several inches to 22 1/4. 

The coolest thing is being able to watch his personality develop.  He is clearly a morning person...wonder who he got that from lol.  And he's awesome at smiling back at you when you smile at him or tickle him. 















His 2 month b-day was his first day to go stay at Grrrandpapa and Gigi's house too.  We are blessed to have grandparents who can watch him.  And needless to say, that first morning I pulled up guess who was waiting on the front porch for her little one.

 
There is no way that I would have made it thru 2 months with a baby if it wasn't for Brittnee.  I must admit I have been amazed by how much she's able to do and how good she is with him.  Don't get me wrong, we still get frustrated with each other sometimes but I have got to respect the hours she spends feeding and comforting him in only the special way a mother can.

2020 is Hindsight...Finally!

Wow, what a year! 2020 could literally be an entire decade, maybe more, of history, change, and lessons rolled up into these twelve months. While many aspects of 2020 were kind of sucky and we would like to forget them, it will certainly be a year to remember. And it will be enlightening when this year is looked back on in 10, 25, or 50 years to be discussed. I wonder if we'll seem like geniuses or idiots? Probably both to some extent! While there is so much that I could consider and analyze about this year, I'll try to break some of it down into four dimensions - Physical, Spiritual, Mental, and Social/Emotional. These are events and happenings from my world and perspective and I'm trying to be open in sharing and would love to hear from others on events you found most transforming. Physical When COVID cause gyms to close, that messed me up. Our town and state were late to be hit with severe cases and therefore later than many across the country to close up shop. I'm n...

Planes Fly in the Sky

Let me be very honest and candid about this - when I first read about the proposed airplane tax cut, I was not happy (just say it, I was mad!).  I thought that it was ludicrous to consider cutting tax revenue while counties are already struggling due to decreased sales and collections of local taxes.   However, unlike many people in today's culture, I didn't take to social media to start talking about how stupid the idea was and how much I disagreed with.  Instead, I started doing some research.  I looked up some information, asked some questions, had some conversations, and I learned some things. This was important for me to understand because I own a boat (I consider planes and boats luxury items) and pay Union County property taxes.  However, that boat hasn't been in Union for years.  It's housed and operated in a neighboring county.  There's not even anywhere that I can safely and legally operate my boat on public property in Union, yet I stil...

Cookie Cutter Marriage

  Is your marriage like a cookie?  Maybe it's sweet.  Maybe it's comforting.  Maybe it's round (symbolic of the continuity of the rings).  Whatever cookie you feel your marriage may most resemble, and the possibilities are endless, they all require some of the same ingredients to be tasty and successful. If we were to examine several cookie recipes, we would see just how many variations there are.  You have numerous chocolate chip, chocolate oatmeal, peanut butter, sugar, and many many more that we could name off. But what makes a cookie a cookie?  Most cookie recipes call for some combination of butter, sugar, flour, and eggs.  This where it gets fun.  From here, you can add the flavor(s) that you and your family enjoy!  Do you want to add fruit, candy, chocolate?  Again, the possibilities are endless. The same is true in our marriages.  There are some core "ingredients" that we all need - love, trust, compassion, faithfulness...
