We took a trip home for a week in January. It was great to see people, meet our new niece and see where we grew up. But it's strange. Even though we've only been here about 6 months, it was not home anymore. We love Smyrna and our friends and family, but it reminded us of why we are here. Why we had to move on and must continue moving forward. Smyrna will always be our childhood home, but now we are working for our eternal home and that is an amazing thing.
Some opportunities have come up at church to get involved in some international ministry and we are excited to learn more and see where that might lead us. Mostly the last month or so has been filled with kids growing, morning sickness, fatigue, beginning a new semester and work.
Jamey is now 2 and it shows! He is trying to say so much but also gets quite upset when we don't understand. He's starting to try and dress himself and has successfully put on a sock and shoe. He wants to help do everything so trying to figure out what he can do is a challenge. And of course picking up the toys is the one thing he can help with and does not want to do.
Lillian has gotten very mobile with her army crawl and rolling. She is sitting up well and growing/gaining weight as she should! She is a pig and will eat anything you give her except baby food. She tries to eat Jamey's snacks which she cannot quite handle yet.
Things are going well, except for being tired. I'm ready for the second trimester boom to hit. It's about time now! :) And my goal is to get better about posting. I am loving all of the new songs we are learning here and will start posting some of the lyrics of ones that I did not know before here to share with those who are interested.
