It feels good to finally be settled into our new life. We have been here 3 weeks now and it is starting to feel like home. There for awhile, Mike and I joked about how it felt like we were on an extended vacation. But, I think we have gotten somewhat of a rhythm or routine now which makes life easier, especially for this new stay-at-home mom. Will has adjusted fine to the new house which is has made life easy as well. Speaking of Mr. Will, I'm sure some of you are dying to know what he is up to. Here are the highlights:
1. He now officially says daddy and can make the connection when he sees Mike.
2. He can snap his fingers. Yes you read that right, and he snaps at us as a last resort when he wants something. Little stinker!
3. He sleeps in a big boy bed...well, we converted his crib into a day bed. He didn't sleep in it when it was a crib so we are giving this a try. We've had some success.
Will's big boy bed.
4. He sprints everywhere...he doesn't walk or run, and he's so fast!
5. He loves to play outside. Charleston is supposed to be warmer than Atlanta, but so far it has been wet and cool. We look forward to spring.
6. He now loves to read! This one is huge for me. He now wants to sit in his chair in his room and have me read to him. I love it! FYI...his favorite book right now is Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you see. I pretty much have it memorized!
I LOVE THIS KID!
I realize that I have not said much about baby #2. Of course right now we don't much other than the due date, July 25, 2010. I actually go on the 18th to find out what I am having. We are excited to find out. I am praying for a healthy baby, first and foremost, but I wouldn't mind if it was a boy. I love Will so much and would love to cuddle with another sweet baby boy. I also have a ton of clothes and this baby would be in the same season as Will so I wouldn't need much of anything other than diapers. Call me practical, but that just seems to make the most sense. But, secretly, I would love to experience a daughter. :)
In other news...River Church has officially launched! Our first service was last Sunday, 1/31/10. We saw 190 people walk through the doors of Orange Grove Charter Elementary School. It was amazing to see God show up in such a big way! I am helping serve in the children's area, specifically toddlers. We had at least 15 in our room. Which was a lot, especially when they all decided to cry at the same time! We are continuing to pray for upcoming weeks, months and years of glorifying God through River Church.
