I cannot believe my baby is 18 months old today....sigh...sniff....so much closer to turning 2....the last 18 months have gone by so fast....I wish time would slow down a bit!
Christian' stats:

                      height:  37 inches (off the charts!)
                      size:  6 diapers though we are probably going to pull-ups this weekend
                                18 months-2T
                      words: Daddy, ba-ba (drink), boo, Roll Tide, dog, go, bye, mmm good, no
                      loves:  his brother/sister, walking, Phineas and Ferb, talking, singing, music,books
                      food: puff, cheese, cheerios, muffins, yogurt

I think we have skipped spring and jumped into summer like weather....the high has been in the 80's and I sent the kids to school in shorts....usually we have to wait until after spring break to do that. But I am not complaining!! I love warm weather....the beach...the water! Now hopefully everyone will stay well!

We are going to have a busy weekend but I am looking forward to it! Happy early weekend everyone!

Ministry

Kelly's Korner is having a link up for show us your life- Ministry Wives. My hubby is a student minister and has worked with youth since he was 19. Since we have been married we have worked in five different churches in the last ten years. I have also taught in christian schools as an elementary teacher (and one year middle school math!)....that itself is a ministry!! Right now James is in an interim position while they are looking for a permanent PT student minister. When that position is filled it does not mean we are leaving our church. We love love our church family who are also awesome friends and those precious teenagers. We still feel like God wants us there to be involved. I am excited to see how God is going to move and how we get to be involved! Can I just say our teenagers rock?!! They are so committed in their walk with the Lord and how that reflects in every area of their life....and they are determined to stand strong in their convictions despite what their peers are doing.....oh .and I just love how they love on my kids!!

Busy...

 Well finally got a pic of Miss Em in her pink glasses.......can I just say how much older it makes her look? Sigh.....my baby girl is growing up way too fast. Poor Christian has another double ear infection.......he just finished up a 10 day antibotic last week for a double ear infection....we go back on the 22nd for a follow up and to see if he needs tubes. I just want this baby boy to stay well and to sleep..............I really miss sleep.......and I have decided that power rocking a toddler should be an olympic sport...LOL. Middle child Austin is his same happy self. Life is just busy...............especially when you are chasing a 17 month old..............who loves to be down and walking everywhere........his SS teacher said she had never seen a toddler so busy.....LOL.
