A Walk In The Park










this is how proud and happy he is that he is walking..........







Hello All!

Yes, our baby boy is walking! As happy as I am to have reached this mile stone, it bring tears to my eyes because I know all to well how much faster life will go. It is most precious to see this little body walk around the house. He is so proud of himself and so very happy...and I thank our God that he is healthy and is developing normal. As I see him walking I get flash backs of the last year. It is so very hard to comprehend where it has gone and how fast it has disappeared. If it has done one thing... it has told me to slowwwww down and enjoy him more... and that is just what I do each day. All my free time is enjoying the sweet beauty of his innocence and watching his excitement as the world unfolds itself to him. Our sweet boy right now is infatuated with "steps", even if it is a step that is 2 inches. He looks back as he goes down it and he turns around with excitement to go up and down over and over again. Soooooo needless to say this is how I spend part of our daily routine. I know so much that it is a stage and maybe next week he will not care if he ever sees a step. Watching him turn around because he has noticed he has stepped down from a step and look up into my eyes with his smile brings such a joy to my soul. I am determined to enjoy what brings smiles and excitement to him daily. Jonathan has brought Grandpa and I so much happiness. We knew from watching our parents when our children arrived ..but when your very own grandchildren arrive, there is no words to explain the love, and happiness that they bring you. Like the saying says "If I knew how wonderful it was to have Grandchildren, I would have had them first"....so very, very true!


Love and Hugs..



"The people brought their children to Jesus.. The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus was irate and let them know it: ‘Don't push these children away. Don't ever get between them and me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in.’ Then, gathering the children up in his arms, he laid his hands of blessing on them.”

Mark 10:13-16

Amy,

Jonathan has gotten so big and now he is walking. Your right, the year went so fast and now we begin another one. I hope I see him in church on Sunday. I have missed him. I will for sure be there and he will be the fist one I look for.

Love ya..
