August is here!!!

Wow, my summer has flown by and I just can't believe that it is over. I will be starting back to school on August 6, so no more days of hanging out with my buddy, Jeremiah. We will still be one busy family. This weekend we are celebrating Robert's birthday by going out to eat tonight and he got a delivery at work from Jeremiah and I. On Saturday, we are going to Oxford for a church meeting.

On August 7, we will be back in Florida that weekend to fill in at that church and we are making it into a mini vacation for us. We will be staying in a hotel on the beach and hope Jeremiah enjoys his first visit to the beach. I am just looking forward to getting away before the students start school to spend quality time with my two boys.

On August 15, we will be celebrating the birthday of one very special boy, Jeremiah Ray Adam. I can not believe that it has already been a year. I feel so blessed that God entrusted us with one very special boy. I just know deep within my heart the God has GREAT plans for his life. I wish we were able to have a huge celebration that everyone could attend, but with our busy schedule we're just going to have a small family party.

On August 25, we will be back in Oxford again to fill in for that church. I always love going back to Oxford. I tell Robert all the time that I miss the town, but not the school work. I met some great people there and had some great teacher mentors.

Well, as always, we stay on the road, but I would not trade my life for anything. We are able to meet a lot of good Christian families that have become close friends and a part of our life. Yes, there are times that we are tired and wish we could stay home, but God always supplies us with the strength to carry on.

Neurologist Update

Well, we went to the neurologist today and received some great news. His head circumference had only increased one centimeter since the last visit and that is good news. The doctor said everything looked good and that his brain was growing at the appropriate rate. He did not see any signs of fluid build up between the brain and skull, which is also great news. Since everything looked great today, we do not have to go back until July 2010 instead of every three months like we have been doing since December. We want to thank everyone who has been praying for our little boy and us. He is a blessing from God and we are so thankful for him each and every day.

We are off to Florida this weekend. Robert is filling in at a church in Crestview, Fl. that has lost their pastor. We are going down tomorrow and hopefully will be able to take Jeremiah to the beach. This will be another first for Jeremiah this summer and I'll have to post pictures. This will also be my first time to visit Florida, so I am super excited about this trip. Oh, this will be Jeremiah's first vacation too. Wow, he is experiencing a lot of firsts this summer.

Summer Break

Well, it has been a great summer break so far, but it is sad that it is almost over. I have enjoyed the time off from school and spending extra time with my family. Jeremiah is now 10 months old and growing so much. We have celebrated a lot of firsts lately. He got his first haircut, went swimming for the first time and got his first tooth. He has brought so much joy to our lives and we couldn't even imagine life without him. We go back to the Neurologist this month for a check up and pray that we continue to receive good reports. In August, we go for our 1 year check up with his peditrician and to get more shots. It is so hard to believe that he has been with us almost a year.
