Water Logged

so evan got his first taste of a swimming pool last week. i thought he would freak out in the cold water, but he did quite well.



we also got him a new towel. we were using our towels to dry him off after a bath, but he always seemed to not like it and squirm around and wimper. now we got him a proper baby bath towel...you know, the ones with a hood. needless to say, our very particular child loves it.

did we mention that evan is gt? here he is reading to mommy. you cant see his left arm b/c he likes to wave it around when he reads to put more emphasis on the words.

dying to self

man, this must be the toughest test yet... if i hear another "this is the best stage... it goes by so quickly cherish every moment" i am gonna hit somebody...

no, we don't want to cherish every moment of painful crying at 1 am nor do we want to cherish paul's come to jesus moments in my car every night it seems...

this must be what it means to die to self... because to be honest there isn't a day when i don't think or wish i could have things my way and live my life my way or just not have to worry about an infant who depends on me for everything... it's horrible i know but that is what my heart is made of... i'm selfish and the hardest part about being a parent is that i am forced to be selfless... to put others first... to love with no strings attached...
and i guess the redeeming point of all of this is when our son grows up and we can teach him what it means to do all those things...
oh when you get moments like this...peace
