....Long Time Coming.....

Brady in his walker....showing us how much he loves it!




I am sure everyone is tired of waiting on my updates....I apologize for the delay!

Things are going wonderfully here. Jaydon is really in to football! He loves to play outside with his daddy. For the Trunk or Treat at Granny and Papaw's church, Jaydon was an Ole Miss Football player. Of course Buddy had a lot to do with that costume...ha! Brady was a sweet first time pumpkin. He wore the same outfit that Jaydon wore on his first Halloween! We had a blast with them that night, even though it was cold.

Brady is going everywhere in his little walker now. He likes to be able to go, but doesn't like it when he gets stuck somewhere. He is finally taking naps in his bed now....yay! This is a long time coming, because for so long we couldn't lay him down because of his stomach issues. He is doing so much better with all of his issues. We do have a flare up every now and then, but for the most part, he is doing great.

Church, of course, is wonderful! I still say we have the best pastor and music pastor combo that I have ever had the privilege to worship under. There isn't a Sunday that we don't come home and just take a deep breath and thank our gracious God for allowing us to be fed spiritually week in and week out. And it never ceases to amaze me how my quiet times are usually right on target with what our pastor preaches on that Sunday. It is awesome to see God work.....and feel it too!

The adoption agency is going well. We are at our max. right now with couples. Just waiting on God to send the birthparents to us. We are so blessed.

Brady's birthmother visited us this weekend. Her dad also came for the first time. It was fun to watch him interact with Brady. Brady just loved him. He just talked and talked to him. Of course, Jaydon loved her dad, because he rode a "motorbicycle" to see us! We all had a good time that day. It was emotional, but good!

We are looking forward to all of the holidays coming up. Spending time with family that we don't get to see very often, and focusing on the birth of our Lord! What a wonderful time of year!
