2 months

we've got a chunky monkey on our hands.

at gra's 2 month appointment, he

weighed 13lbs 12oz (91%)

was 24 1/2 inches long (93%)

and his head circumference was 41 1/2 cm (83%)

as a comparison, max weighed just a bit more then this at his 4 month appointment!

he is a healthy little boy and the only concern is that one of his eyes tends to drift and has trouble tracking and focusing. there is nothing we can do about this until he is 4 months old so our prayer is that the problem solves itself before then.

church shower

as a pastor's wife (and a christian), you are expected to serve others, but this past weekend several of the ladies in our church served me by throwing a shower for gra. it was a good time of fellowship and fun and i am so thankful for their thoughtfulness in celebrating him!

too bad the guest of honor did this most of the party!

pumpkin patch

one of my favorite things to do in the fall....the ol' pumkin' patch!

max tried really hard to pick up a couple pumpkins, but after a few attempts failed, he decided kicking them would be a bit better!

in the hay maze

the cutest little pumpkin i know!

our attempt at a pic of both the boys :)

date 1 of MUCH NEEDED!

awww, breathe. enjoy a glass of wine on the patio with your husband. talk about the past, the future, the struggles. but above all else, know that without this man, you could not of made it.

i love you joey. thanks for knowing that you can't just do that.

glimpses of freedom

getting the news that my iv was not going to be removed in 3 weeks, but that i would have it for 4 was very saddening for me. we had made so many fun plans for that weekend to celebrate "the end" and even though many of those had to wait, we did have do one thing that gave us a glimpse of freedom.
