Pour out your heart like water before the face of the LORD. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children. - Lamentations 2.19
In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence and his children have a refuge. - Prov. 14.26

three down...
Just a quick update...
Waylon is growing like a weed. He is three months old now and...
sleeping through the night
laughing
'talking' (his favorite words are ohhh, mmm, and ooo)
blowing bubbles
smiling back at us
holding his head up
rolling onto his side
finding his hands and grabbing
squirming, dancing, exercising, moving a LOT
loving music, especially my singing ;)
He's pretty amazing, to say the least. I try to tell him all day long. That and 'I love you.' He loves to hear those things. Doesn't everyone? The best part of my day..well, there are actually two. The first is first thing in the morning, when I go to get Dub out of bed. I peer down at him and he gives me this groggy, confused look, rubs his little eyes and as soon as he realizes it's me and it's a new day, he gives me the biggest smile. Nothing has ever made me feel more loved. He loves me with his whole heart. He can't imagine a better Mama and those heart-tingles feel like more than all the money in the world. And he stretches so hard in the morning. Ready for a new day. The other best part is when Joey gets home. Usually, we are in the kitchen cooking dinner. Waylon sits in this rocker on the counter and watches me. When Joey comes in, he goes immediately to Waylon and the little guy lights up. He loves his Daddy and gets so tickeled when he sees him for the first time all day long. It is precious. There are few things I'd rather see and hear than Joey and Waylon together. I love those boys.
Joey and I have decided that now is as good a time as any to do a grown-up budget. After 4 1/2 hours on Sunday, we finally turned that new leaf over. First of all, I'd like to thank Dave Ramsey. If you don't know who he is, look him up. He will change your life. Second, I love Joey more now than I did on Saturday. There is something about the intimacy of budgeting (yes, intimacy) that has opened our hearts to each other a little more than they were. This is going to be good. Check back in a few months. I could have other things to say.
This afternoon has been bliss. My Christmas tree has provided the ideal amount of glow on this dim, wintry day. The Duggars are on t.v. Waylon is on the baby monitor. My coffe is hot and my dark chocolate is working its magic. I wrapped my first Christmas present this morning and started to mail a few Christmas cards before I realized it's barely December. I'll wait.

Stay tuned.
