Big Brother


Sheppy,

Today I found out that you are going to be a big brother!! Your dad and I can hardly believe it. This is surely the Lord's goodness in our lives. We were prepared for the long haul to get you a sibling, but it didn't take very long at all. What a blessing. You have no idea how your world is going to change in the next 9 months, but then again, either do I. We will transition together I guess. But I love you so much and that is all you really need to know (for now)!

Blogging

Sheppy,

I have started this blog for you and any other siblings that we (and you) will hopefully be blessed with! I need a way to capture memories of you and your daily life so that I will never forget these years with you. Right now you are 17 months old. I can hardly believe that much time has passed since you arrived and forever changed our lives for the better.

There is one word to sum up your life right now, active. You are everywhere and you never stop moving (except for naps and night-night). As long as you are walking around and can hold something (particularly wooden spoons, toothbrushes and hairbrushes) in your hand, you are good to go. It is these little "quirks" that I want to remember for always, so much to my chagrin, I have begun blogging, because you are too precious to forget!
