Follow them to see what they're up to!

I'm kind of sick of the title....

.... but not of the idea.

I have been a terrible, TERRIBLE blogger as of late. I'm blaming it on pregnancy. It makes you so blasted tired. All the time. So when I have a free moment, aka Beckett is sleeping, I'm usually taking a nap too!

So when I look back at my blog, I see Thankful Thursday, Thankful Thursday, Thankful Thursday. That means I haven't been blogging very much! So I'm a bit sick of the title, but not the idea.

So this is a Thankful Thursday blog, without that name. There you go!

We are so, so, so thankful for this guy! He makes us beyong happy, joyful, blessed. It is an amazing thing to think that the Lord loves me (and you) like I love Beckett. And even more so. It's hard to imagine. What a great God, He is.


Ah, a sleeping baby. Nothing cuter, right?

I'm also thankful for this. It just makes me happy.



We, David and I, are also thankful for summer break. He just finished grading his last exam! Don't get me wrong, we love teaching here at NCA! But it's great to have a break, to rest, reflect, and rejuvenate!

We're also SO excited that our church is about to be here! OH, how we love them! Not for one second, do we take for granted the blessing of them coming. We know that they are sacrificing money, time, good U.S. food, and much more to be here. We are so thankful they would come serve here in Nicaragua!

13 months and BIG NEWS!

Our sweet baby is 13 months today!

As he is getting older and older, he's getting sweeter and also naughtier at the same time. Crazy, how that works!

Here's what he's up to these days:

-Around 21 lbs. Definitely not a heavy weight, but I think he's doing good!

-He's way into boxes. Taking things out of them, putting them back in, opening the lid, closing the lid. It could go on and on!

-He can now do the "more" hand sign (basically clapping hands). It's cute because he does it for everything. If I say, please - he claps his hands

-Loves to go visit the horses and goats. He'll give the goat some leaves, but only if he's in a sharing mood!

-He's getting a bit more cuddlier. Occasionally, he'll walk over to me or David and lay his head on our leg. If you're really lucky, he'll stay there for longer than 1.6 seconds. He's obviously our son - we're not big cuddlers either!

-Still loving walking everywhere! If I let him, he would climb everywhere too!

-Babbling more and more these days. Still no words, besides mamamama and dadadada. I think he's too busy walking everywhere to think about talking!

-Knows where our ears and noses are (on a good day!)

-Can throw some might fine fits too!

-Like always, being so ridiculously cute, it hurts.
