We had a GREAT week… Frozen in and all! It was nice to have Colie home on Tuesday and Wednesday. He enjoyed seeing Mac in his daily routine. I wasn’t in my normal routine because he was home! We just relaxed all day on Tuesday, did a little work on Wed. It made me wonder how Noah survived all those days on the ark? After only 2 full days inside we were ready to be out and about.

Mac has started squeeling (fun… it gets my ears sometimes!) I am trying to keep him from doing it as much as possible. Mac had his 4 month Dr. appointment on Monday before the freeze. He now weighs 15 lbs. and 5 oz. and is almost 25 inches long. I am really enjoying him! Yesterday someone smiled at him and he started crying… this is new. When he saw the person again he started crying again. I felt really bad because he has never done that before. Anyway I don’t know if he is starting to teethe or what because he has been a little fussy. But no matter, he is still sleeping well, and mostly happy. Boy am I grateful for having a good baby.

I am reading again “The Greatest Thing in the World” by Henry Drummond and here is a quote for you. “It’s the man who is the missionary, it is not his words. His character is his message.” If you haven’t read it I would highly recommend it.

We are home, and now it is time for the clean up… We took two suitcases out to CA and brought back 4 and are having a box shipped, unbelieveable. Mac had a harder time on our flights back because his cold was so bad. He could hardly breath at times, and then to have his ears messed up too was more than he could handle at times I think. We got in the car to drive home right about 12 AM New Years day. By the time we got to bed it was after 1 AM. We slept late and had a restful day. For dinner we went to Colie’s parents and then watched a movie. Last night Mac was really bad so he slept with us so that we could hear him breath, and take measures if we needed to. He is doing much better today, praise the Lord.

That’s our little update! Hope you are starting out your year right! May the Lord bless you and keep you this year. Our prayer is for wisdom in raising Mac and for a consistent walk with him. Now back to the clean up!!!!
