The Good, The Bad and The Fantastic!

Our Blog has just really been for updating. I wanted to take a few minutes and recap our six months the good and the bad and of course the fantastic!


GOOD!!

*Travling to a strange place
*Eating new foods
*Dinner as a family
*Having a reason for family to call
*Watching a child learn
*Knowing that you will go on after you pass
*Watching a kiss instantly stop tears
*Baths having a whole new meaning
*Finding better things to do than watch T.V.


BAD!!

*Watching a child cry in agony for the things he has lost
*Being rejected because he has been rejected
*Being Bitten :-)
*Fearing you are doing not one thing right
*Not wanting to share your low points in fear of criticism
*Not knowing weather or not to call the Doctor
*Watching a Night Terror and being hepless
*Watching your spouse be just as helpless
*Feeling like a spanking may be the only answer right now
*Having to tell your child not to thank you for food

FANTASTIC!!

*Watching bonding happen right before your eyes
*Being kissed on the cheek just so he can see you smile
*A little hand reaching for you in the middle of the night
*His eyes meeting yours for reasurrance
*Hearing "Mama" finally :-)
*Only wanting Mama when he is hurt
*Only wanting Daddy when there is something to fix
*Listening to him say his A.B.C.'s
*Watching confidence and knowing that you have to take credit
*Watching your spouse be happy in a way you could never make them!
So .... I did take the photo myself. However, it is the first family shot!
Joel was so excited about setting the timer then running back to see the
photo that we could hardly contain his excitement.
