Fun Day with Drew

Today was another fun day with Drew. He is starting to walk now and has his on little personality. Unfortunately for him he has my impatience...but he is learning...as am I to calm down when things aren't so easy. I read somewhere a quote about mothers, the man wrote this and nothing else "I learned everything from my mother...everything". That quote still speaks to me. I have some major bad habits that I have let slide and have mastered over years..almost to the point where I excepted them and stopped trying to better myself. I don't want to teach those habits to Drew...he is blank canvas, so impressionable. He already copies our sayings and facial expressions...I don't want him to pick up the bad things. I am praying that God keep reminding me that someone (other than him) is watching...and is learning from me.


I love this boy so much, and I can't get enough of him. Every night during our prayers Patrick thanks God for Drew and for all the joy he has brought us. We could sit all day watching him and laughing at him if time allowed. Unfortunately we have others things to do during the day, but God has blessed us with the opportunity to work at home. So even though we are busy and don't have much down time, we both are SO grateful for the life we have.


Tonight we went to Wednesday night dinner. It pleases me to pieces that Drew is a staple at church and that he is so loved and excepted. Tonight he was the only baby in the nursery. He played with Miss Amy the whole time. They read books and played with toys and practiced walking. My hearts desire is that Drew grow up surrounded by his brothers and sisters in Christ. Whether and not he is the only child there, I want him to feel comfortable and at home at church and learn how to become a man after God's own heart.


Tomorrow is Swim class!! Drew was a little cranky last week, unfortunately swim class is right smack dab in the middle of his nap time...so we are learning to be flexable (both of us).
