two in a row

This is a first.. two post in two days.. this is a record!! WEll.. i guess i need to update on Preston. He is so big. He will be 8 months old very next week. Time has gone so fast. He is growing up.. he looks like a little boy now!! He is teething and we are expecting that tooth to come through any day now.. you can see it.. Come on tooth.. I am ready for it and i know he is.. HE is trying so hard to crawl.. he is scooting everywhere. He gets up on all fours and rocks then scoots his back legs up.. so CUTE!!! he is so observant.. trying to figure out how everything works.. He loves being outside, he loves being around people (like his mom).. he loves being out and about... he may even love the mall!! good for me!! As some of you know we have concrete floors. We have been putting down blankets for him to play on and scoot around on.. well, we broke down.. today we are getting carpet.. only in two rooms, our living room and his room.. but it will make mom feel better when he falls over.. at least he wont be hitting the concrete floor!! yes we still have the "barn" up for sale but until we sell it we will try to make it more baby proof. We went swimming this week.. Preston loves the water.. so much fun.. we start swim lessons next week. Preston and i went to story time on wed. at the library in Ft. worth. it was fun.. i think it will be our weekly outing for sure...of course all this stuff like story time, swim lessons, etc is more for mom than preston at this point, but hey you gotta do what ya gotta do!!

trying to be good

ok.. this will be short and sweet because it is late and i am tired.. I am trying to be good. I know i have not kept in touch nor have i been good about communicating Preston's accomplishments in a timely manner.. So i am going to blog about it more.. he he...I will try i really will.. so read the blogs.. look for new pictures.. and be patient.. sometimes i would just rather spend time with my child than clean my house and so i will be doing this after he goes to bed as well.. there will be days when i will be too tired or just dont think about it.. if i dont respond dont take it personally....

Life....

Well, i had a most unique experience this week.. I got to say goodbye to a dear friend... not the kind of "goodbye, see ya later" but the "goodbye.. see ya in heaven" type. I have never done that before.. how odd... to say goodbye to someone.. to get to tell someone that you love them, that you will miss, to tell them thank you for being your friend. to thank them for the impact they had on your life. Oh sure we do that at funerals.. but to say it to someone who is dying, looking you in the eye, not able to speak with his mouth but only with his eyes.. what an awesome experience. My dear friend Kevin housley went to live with Jesus this morning. He has been battling a brain tumor for almost two years. We prayed.. we lifted him up, but God called him home anyhow. How bittersweet. life with Jesus, but pain letting them go. We saw kevin on thursday. He got to meet preston.. on his deathbed, he was able to see my son... he was so excited that tim and i were going to have a baby.. he has been so sick the past 5 months.. that was his first and last time to see him, how precious it was. Kevin just kept staring at preston, then looking at me, then looking at tim.. Preston just talked away.. i know he could see the angels in Kevins room.. he and kevin kept looking at something in the room.. they were the only two that could see them... I will miss my friend terribly... but at last he is peacefull and healed... Praise the Lord....

A new experience.

WEll, this is my first blog..ever.. I guess you could say I am a virgin blogger. Actually, i just found some friends with a blog site so i needed to create one to talk to them. I am not into technology.. i just dont have the time.. My time is now devoted to my son so i am cutting into my bedtime to do this.. which my sleep is very important these days.

I will write more at a later time. for now this will have to do . My introduction and begining to "blogging". one day i will fill this out more, along with my Myspace account.. until then, just know that i spend every minute i can with my son. he is my most precious gift. he grows so fast, i dont want to miss a moment.. i dont take them for granted.
