If you were judging my life by my blog, it would appear as though nothing is happening since I haven't been updating. That couldn't be farther from the truth.....life has just been happening. David got me a new camera for Christmas and I'm very excited to use it but quite frankly, I'm intimidated by it. I'm dreading reading the users manual! So, when I get it figured out I will post some new pics of David and Grant.
Let's see....what's new? Little David is getting geared up for a round of winter swim lessons and is mostly so excited to play t-ball this spring! He is doing so great in school and still loves it. He amazes us with the things he says, we often remark that we never talked that way at 5 years old! One of these days I'm going to record one of his prayers- they are unbelievable and overwhelm me with love and joy. I feel so lucky to get to witness his little relationship with God, and listen in on their "talks". He is already so grounded spiritually- I pray that he will always be. This is what I want for my children above all else!
Grant is just an absolute stinker! She is so precious and knows it! She will often flash us her toothy smile after being reprimanded for getting in to something or doing something she's not supposed to do. Her Daddy will turn into a puddle instantly and it breaks his heart to raise his voice to her. She rules the roost around here. Little David gets very upset with her for getting in to his things and I have to call him down all day long and remind him that she is a baby who does not know better and just wants to play. She will let him have it if he takes something from her- she is quite the "swatter". My biggest hurdle with Grant is her squealing. Now I realize that even the term squealing sounds cute and that she will not do this forever. However, Grant will scream blood piercing screams that come out of nowhere. She is quite good at achieving the shock factor for her screams. I have become relatively immune to them but most anyone in my presence at the grocery store, etc will jump 3 ft in the air when hearing Grant's scream. I have told many a stranger in the grocery store (after being given looks) that I am open to suggestion. I can't make it stop, I'd give anything if I could and I know that one day I will miss her screams. She certainly keeps things interesting. I can't imagine life without her.
So, life is good and we are still making the best of our life and community here in Texas. I have made lots of friends and really enjoy it here. It will never hold the same place in my heart as SC but like my Mom always says, "You make the best of where you are because you are there." I intend to keep doing just that. We are happy and healthy and loving life!
