Thankful

It hardly seems possible that my little baby boy is 10 months old today. How can it be that in just two short months he will be a year old?! I think of how tiny he was when we brought him home and how I loved just holding him. I wonder if I've treasured those moments enough to last me a lifetime. I realize now, how fast he is growing and I am trying to do my best to treasure each new thing because I know he will soon grow out of that and move on to the next new adventure.

I am so thankful as I think of how much God has blessed us with Wyatt. He brings such joy to us...he makes me want to do more, be more, know God more...I am thankful for the families we were raised in...the godly influences...thankful that we can pass on that same heritage to Wyatt. We are so blessed.

This past weekend was the first time I ever left Wyatt overnight...I knew it would be something that came sooner or later...I guess it's just that first time that's tough. But knowing that he would be with family who would take such good care of him was so comforting...again, something I am so thankful for. It was hard knowing I wasn't there to sing to him before bed, or read him stories at naptime, or play with him, or hear his laugh...but I knew he'd be fine...and that I'd be okay too. Everything did turn out great, just like I knew it would...but it was so great to be back with Wyatt again. I was going to include some pictures I received of Wyatt while we were gone, but for whatever reason, I can't get them on my computer right now...so here is one of my favorite pics of him...it's from a photo shoot of the Cripe grandkids...enjoy!
