Jack has been his usually busy self - although he is taking a 4 hour nap right now! Yesterday when Brendan picked him up from nursery the teacher told Brendan the she was amazed at how well he behaved and how polite he was! She bragged at what a joy he was to keep!!! Wow, how encouraging that is to hear as a parent. Somedays I feel like we go round and round - spanking, time-out, spanking, time-out. I know that in order to shepard Jack the way the God calls us to as parents requires those difficult days, but can I tell you how nice it is to see the fruits of your labor!! Especially since we have made the joyful sacrifice for me to stay home so we can ensure that Jack is "being trained in the way he should go". My paycheck comes in the form of a little boy who is learning to follow the steps of his Heavenly Father. Can I tell you, I'll cash that pay check anyday before the one that requries a bank. Sure, we live in a smaller house, we own 1 vehicle, I can't tell you when the last time I went shopping, and I also can't tell you how many times we have been asked, " so where are you guys going to put another baby??".... Those things mean NOTHING in the real scheme of things. Of couse I struggle with those desires ( and I am beginning to wonder where we are going to put another baby =) but, I'll take those struggles to watch a little boy put his hands together to bow and pray and to hear a sweet AMEN and to hear from his Sunday school teacher that he is such a sweet spirited little boy!
Now, just a few of the latest pictures. I laugh because most of you have pictures of your child growing up in the rocking chair.. I have pictures of Jack growing up in his car!

I'm so glad everything is progressing well! I've been praying for you! And, those are sweet pictures of Jack! That first one is especially good! He looks like he should be in a magazine ad! And, playdates will be fun!!! We just signed up for a zoo membership - don't ask me why Mark got all gungho on this but...it's fine with me! I love being outside and I think Savannah will love it! So, y'all will have to go with us - actually now that I think about it, I can take y'all for free until Jack is 2, so we need to go really soon! lol
I am so so so glad everything is well with the little one growing inside. Also, Jack is definitely so well-behaved. I have been around many times to know that this is true. You are such a good mom and so consistent, which I know first hand is not an easy thing to be.
I am so glad to hear the good report from the doctor about the new baby. We can't wait to meet him/her!
I'm so glad to hear that things are going well with pregnancy. We will continue to pray for you guys.
Yeah for baby and Yeah for Jack! The picture of him in the blue shirt is too precious...he looks like a little man! We are so excited for May 27th to come, and will be praying for peace in the meantime!
