Newness

You know those days when you feel that if one more person has "news" to deliver to you that you might just erupt in laughter and your body will physically crumble into a million pieces?  I feel as though the last several months have been like that for me.

Day in and day out, moving forward and yet missing something I never had.  Hoping it will show up.  Doing life.  Trusting in Him and then realizing that the problem all along has been my lack of trust.  And so, starting anew.

This week brought sleet and snow to Arkansas.  I had lunch with fun girlfriends on Tuesday and got called to pick Collin up early from daycare because of the winter weather.  My sweet boy tells the firetrucks HI! and BYE! each time we drive past the firehouse.  On the way home from daycare Tuesday, he told them to go night-night and Wednesday morning he said to them How arrrrrreee youuuuuuu? 

He is becoming such a little person.  He napped while I finished my work-day on Tuesday, and then he patiently waited for his daddy to get home so they could Go play snow!



His sidekick is Landry, or DooDoo to him.  He tells her when to sit, stay and (my favorite) Come Baaaack!  It seems like he's always telling her to come back!

Monday afternoon our friends Jon and Gail welcomed their baby boy, Canyon Wayne, into the world.  He is a Madill boy and destined to be a rough-houser.  I can't wait to watch him grow!

We got to meet him last night, and I totally hogged him all evening.  I actually forgot I was holding him a few times because he is just that chill! 

                                    

Collin wouldn't really have anything to do with him, but Canyon apparently made an impression because this morning, Collin asked to "go see Baby Canyon".  He also told me it was Baby Canyon who colored on the wall :)
