Cousins!

This video was taken on March 8th--I didn't realize it had uploaded a while back, but it did, so here it is! What fun it is to have "twin" cousins!

Fun with the sheet!

We had a great time in Florida! I am not sure Daniel realized we were at the Breakers, but he didn't seem to mind. He had a great time playing with the sheets...that's the best part about the hotel, right? We had such a wonderful trip...I laugh at my comments in the videos. I think I am not thinking sometimes. We'll call it mommy brain...what I meant to say what that Daniel doesn't probably realize how much he should be enjoying his vacation :)...we sure enjoyed our stay!

Greenville

This past Saturday we ventured out to the Greenville Zoo with the teens from UBC. Daniel enjoyed the trip for the most part! He actually looked at some of the animals for about 10 minutes and then took a nap for the rest of the time at the zoo. For lunch we headed over to the Beacon in Spartanburg for a little bit of a cultural experience with the teens. We enjoyed the "a plenty" plates and had the pig's dinner for dessert. I love the Beacon. It brings back fond childhood memories!

All Boy

I am not positive, but I think Daniel might be starting the teething process. The drool has increased considerably and if he can pick it up, he puts anything in his mouth and chews on it. His hands and feet seem to be just growing so fast. He is definitely a much bigger little guy, rather than a tiny infant. He is also finding some new sounds...the latest is the "b" sound. We were visiting an elderly man in our church yesterday and I heard what I thought was something from "the other end" but it wasn't--he just made the noise with his mouth. Yep, all boy. Yikes. What have we gotten ourselves into?

An update on Life...

Where does the time go? Thanks to one of my only "blog-stockers" I am finally updating our blog :). Of course, perhaps more would take a look if I updated it more often. Moving on...


The past couple of months have absolutely flown by. Daniel will be 4 months old at the end of May. These have been the fastest 4 months of my life! We are so blessed with such a sweet son. This past weekend we attended a graduation of one of our high school students. It was the first time that I had ever experienced this flood of emotion, thinking that one day, all too soon, our son will be walking down that aisle. I guess until you are a mom, you just don't think about those kinds of things. I am challenged often with the thought that to whom much has been given, much is required. We have been given much!


On the growth front--Daniel is almost 15 pounds, I think! We will see exactly how he weighs in in the next few weeks! He is so much fun...talking, giggling and doing things that babies do! He loves to hold his head up and look around. It amazes me just how quickly they change!

Mother's Day 2009- Daniel gave me a sweet card and a nice picture frame (and a book about raising boys...I think his daddy helped him pick that one out). We enjoyed a quiet Mother's Day with Rachael, Matt, Mom and Dad. Allison and Sarah took off to Philly for the weekend to visit some friends. The boys cooked dinner AND cleaned up the kitchen. It was a great day!

Meeting Pastor Senn-- I will always remember when Pastor would do baby dedications at church. He is so much fun to watch with little babies. How special it was for Daniel to meet him.

Greenville Drive Game--We went with Rach and Matt and their RA's from schools. We had a blast. The boys did great. Hopefully we will have more opportunities for some good baseball games!

Cousin Benton

Uncle Monroe and Daniel at Easter-- I think this is one of my favorite pictures of Daniel (and of Monroe too :).

I have pictures from our Florida trip...but I need to find the camera to download them. One of these days...
