 ”Therefore I tell you,do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink;or about your body, what you will wear.
…See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these….
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well…
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself….”

Matthew 6:25-33

some long overdue photos…

Facebook is blocked, our proxy stopped working, I’m running out of space on my computer, etc… Ok, I’m just behind in updating the blog.  And now that I’m about to pop any day, I thought I should at least put some pics up from the last few months.

long overdue

Lots has happened since Sean’s last milestone…and not a whole lot of time to update the blog!  But now we’re on vacation (well, T is having to work on his, but at least he’s with us), so I’m attempting to throw in a couple of highlights from the last few months.

This video was taken right before bedtime the night of Sean’s 2nd birthday party. :)

another milestone!

Sean threw away his pacifier on Monday on his own volition (although we think Trey may have prompted him a bit).

Dad: Good morning!

Sean: I’m going to throw away my pacifier.

Dad: Really?  Hold on… G, come over here!  Ok, tell Mommy what you want to do.

Sean: I’m going to throw away my pacifier.

Mom: Really?? Why?

Sean: Because I don’t need it anymore.  I’m a big boy.

Trey: Yeah, he’s a big boy now.

Mom: Are you sure?

Sean runs to the trash can and throws his pacifier away.

He’s asked for it a few times since, but once we remind him that he said he didn’t need it anymore and that he’s a big boy, he does ok. :)

Maybe he’ll be ready for potty-training soon…

Spring!
