Over the past week, several people have told me that they are sick of seeing that helicopter on my blog . . . I know, I know . . .I haven't updated in a while.
I actually have so much to update like Matt and Megan Baye's visit, Jacob's baptism, Abby's fall field trip, PLI, our trip to Texas, and some new pictures of Jacob. So why haven't I updated? For starters, I have been pretty sleep deprived for a while. About a month and a half ago, Jacob started sleeping for long stretches of time, like 5-7 hours at a time. We're talking only waking up once a night, and I got used to that. Then after about two or three weeks of that, he went back to waking up every two hours, and I about went over the edge. I was so exhausted, so I called our pediatrician and talked to the nicest nurse ever. She was sure that a growth spurt was the culprit and that if I fed him more during the day (he only nurses--won't go near a bottle), then he would sleep more at night. She was right and he's been sleeping better. But one reason I haven't updated the blog was becuase of my sleep deprivation.
The next excuse is that we took a trip to Texas. Our PLI (Pastoral Leadership Insitute (which rocks)) went to a marriage/health/wellness retreat in Fort Worth, TX. It was awesome! It's so good to recharge and spend time with Nate (and Jacob--no getting around that). After the conference we took a quick trip to Houston to see some old friends. Our time there was so great. Being with our friends, the Lexows, is so refreshing to me. I was so happy to have some time with Chuck and Tamara which included lots of laughing and some really good drinks:) No really, it's just nice to be with good friends who love you no matter what. Speaking of good friends, we got to see the Woltemaths too. We didn't have nearly enough time with them, but we love them just the same.
Of course, our home computer died right before we left, so after we get a new one, I'll post pictures and catch up. Jacob gets cuter every day:) He has the most beautiful smile and has recently discovered his feet, which is adorable. He's such a sweet little boy. I'm so glad God gave him to us. I can't imagine it any other way!

I'm glad PLI was good for you. We missed Grace Place-because I was having Natalie at the exact weekend we were supposed to be there. I've heard mixed things about it, so I'm thankful it was good for you.
The Lexows and good drinks. Two things that always go well together. I miss you already.
so many fun trips and visits! i hope i can visit again sometime soon. Glad to hear Jacob's cooperating a bit more so you can sleep. Sleep deprivation makes everything harder. I must say I was blog-stalking for a while wondering when you'd post again ;-)
