70 degree weather in January!

It was such a gorgeous day! 70 degree, sunny blue skies & the birds are tweeting. I couldn't believe that we had been snow bounded almost 2 weeks ago. I took my boys (& of course my dog) outside to play. We took some pictures for our families. Hopefully, some will be in a frame so I can hang them up in our new apartment! Here are a few snapshots!

Conner's attempt to roll over!

Conner was able to roll over from his belly to back for 1st time! This was his 2nd try. I wished that I had caught the 1st roll on video because he gave me the shocked-wide eyed look. haha! He is 3 & 1/2 months old.

Daddy's nickname for Conner

Yep. It finally came. The NICKNAME for Conner. His daddy came up with the idea. He wanted to name Conner, Tank. Conner is in 90th percentile for the average baby's weight at his age. He is big! He seems tough & strong for such a young baby. So daddy has a fun name to call him, Tank!

Monkey Me Crazy With Camera!

I have been trying to practice taking pictures with my new camera. We got it right before Conner was born. So it was a perfect timing! Here are a few fun pictures of Conner!

God doesn't make mistakes!

I can't believe it. It has been one year since we found out that we're pregnant! I thought to myself, "is this for real?". It's true. God does NOT make mistakes. He actually chose Brian & I to be this kid's parents. I don't know why He did that, but I do know that He has a reason. It is to teach us lessons in child-rearing. It will help Brian and I to learn how to depend on, to support and to love each other. Because of our beliefs, we have decided to teach Conner how to love God. We want to raise him in a way that reflect God's love to everyone. To respect people. To care for people. And most importantly...to accept Christ in his heart. I cannot lie...this is going to be a difficult challenge! With God's help, Brian and I can do it! There will be mistakes. Of course, we're only human. But there is forgiveness & love. I am so excited to see what kind of person that Conner will be. Please share any thoughts or challenges you have/had with your child. Thanks!
