The Culprit

Alright, so the last time I posted, I had said the crazy weather was the culprit for a fussy baby. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! He just cut his 1st tooth! So much going on with him right now. He's getting his first tooth, he's rolling rolling rolling rolling all over the place. I know next is the mobile-ness....baby proofing our house is about to be at the top of our to-do list.

He is growing by leaps and bounds and I am in a bitter-sweet state right now. I am so sad he is growing up, learning something new everyday. The world is becoming a little clearer everyday. He has so much more to continue to learn, but I am right there with him! At the same time, I am sooooo excited to see him learn and GROW. For him to progress in every light is amazing and such a blessing!!
God has blessed my family beyond all words and expression. I have an all-knowing God, who knows my every thought and sees all of my faults and yet, He still carries and loves me. He has sent me 2 amazing parents who are always there for us. Helping out as often and as much as they can. My prayer is that God blesses them 10 fold for as much as theyve been able to bless us. I have a wonderful husband, who loves me in all my faults and weak moments. Who does the happy jig with me in exciting moments and who lends his me his shoulder, while wrapping his loving arms around me, during sad/trying times. A beautiful blue-eyed little boy who is healthy, happy, loved, safe and encouranged. Im in love with him and it just grows more and more every second of every day.

STILL trying to find the perfect house/property. We've looked at houses (big. small. odd layouts. no storage. strange neighborhood. odd neighbors). shacks. fixer-uppers. cleared land. wooded land. 10 miles away. 2 miles away. 15 miles away... House? Land? where are you? please just jump out and be perfect for us...for NOW. Better yet, please just grow a sign out in the front yard that simply reads "Welcome Home Shepherd Family....this is it!!" I know a home is what you make it. So I have my home, but I want the HOUSE that usually comes with the "home" part. Crossing out fingers and pray. I know its out there. I keep telling Jay APRIL 30th...APRIL 30th....thats our housing credit deadline. He keeps saying, if we find a home before then great, but we dont need to rush into buying something just for the credit. If we get it we get it, if we dont. we don't (I WANT IT!!! what an amazing savings!!!!)...

ALRIGHT, once we get through HUMP DAY, its all down hill from there!!!
