New Do.....




So, Ian is not a baby anymore. He is a full fledge Toddler decorated with what ever kind of food he is eating at the time and dedicated entirely to getting into anything and EVERYTHING! It was time to update his hair cut to match his current personality - kinda spikey on top to indicate his mischeiviousness. He looks like trouble. I will have to say, at times he is trouble! The other day he figured out that he must've grown a few inches b/c he could now reach the top of our kitchen table. So if it was with in a micrometer of the side, it ended up on the floor; where of course he tore it to SHREDS!





Ian loves, loves, loves to be outside. Which he indicates by throwing his body at the front door and yelling "SIDE!!" As if his life depended upon him getting outside - kinda funny - kinda not. Depends on my mood I guess. Here we are gong for a walk in our neighborhood, incidentally - everything I thought to bring along with us ended up on the ground, I just didn't notice until we had returned to the house. So we made 2 trips around the circle to find our missing objects.
Ian changes everyday. Everyday seems different. He is finding out that emotions can be hard to handle at times, and pretty tough to convey his wants. If his biggest struggle is fighting with a toy from time to time, we may be ok.
Brian and I have had huge prayer time dedicated to his care as of the last couple of months. I feel like I have missed out on so much and he is just getting bigger and changing so fast and he is doing it all at daycare. I feel like our daycare has been a blessing in sharing his new experiences, and I also feel like our business really needed me to be there full time. But Brian and I both feel like the time has come where I need to be at home with Ian and to try and grow our little family. God has placed the right people in our lives at the right time to allow this to happen. I am so excited about this change.
