Late Night

Well, life has changed quite a bit since our last post, granted a lot usually does happen after 3 or 4 months. Sam is getting so big and is so close to crawling it is scary and exciting. He is so curious and loves to play with the remote control and my cell phone. I have to make sure he has a pacifier in his mouth so that they don't go in. Michael got a job and is working form 4 in the morning until 12:30 out in Hillsboro (about 30-35 minute drive from where we are living). Our intention is to eventually move out there but we are trying to save some money up first. We are still living with my parents and that has been a huge blessing. I've been blessed to be able to stay home with Sam and not have to work so far. It has been wonderful to stay home and take care of the house as well as my son but it is also a bit lonely as he isn't talking. I feel very blessed though and wouldn't really want it any other way. Michael and I are currently assisting in starting a church plant with several other people out in Hillsboro and loving it. The people are amazing and God is doing awesome things. We have already tripled in size and consistently have about 30-40 people on any given Sunday evening. Michael has been assisting with worship and I've helped out in the nursery as the most recent time I put Sam in there he ended up screaming and wasn't calmed until I came in. I love that he is recognizing me now and wanting to have me around. UB is doing the same. We have taken him to the dog park several times and he loves it. He usually gets in the kiddie pool several times after retrieving his ball. He still hasn't understood the concept of bringing it to us and dropping it. Someday...hopefully. I'm not sure if there is really anything else to update about. Life is life and we are going with the flow. This is the first time in 2 years that Michael and I have had different schedules and it continues to be a challenge getting used to him being gone so often. I am slowly coming around but still have days when I just want company. Not sure how many of you still read our blog but I'll try to update more often and as I am usually home that shouldn't be too difficult :>

Here are some pics to enjoy:
