Blessed with a Wonderful Husband

From Heather: It has been way too long since we've updated the blog (again). I'm not even going to make false promises that we will do better (although, I'm putting it on my list of things to "keep up with" now). :-)

I wanted to write a post about my wonderful husband that God has blessed me with.

I've learned this year how much we take for granted in life: we take for granted that tomorrow will come for us and for those we love, we take for granted the things that people do for us and their love for us. We take for granted most those who love us the most and do the most for us. I want to thank God for Jonathan and thank Jonathan for being such a great husband and fantastic father. Becoming a parent has made me realize that you get to see your spouse in a different way than ever before and it's been so exciting to watch a new side of Jonathan. He is so great with Asa-playing with him, being patient with him (sometimes more than I am), helping take care of him and I am so thankful for that!!! Asa lights up with a HUGE smile when Jonathan walks in from work!

I am grateful for how God has worked in both of our lives over the past 2 years and thankful for the way that our marriage has become better and better. It's amazing to see how God will bless your marriage when the members are doing what God established for them to do and be. It's such a huge blessing to know that I have a husband who loves me even when I'm not acting lovable and that he wants to be there for me in every area of life. I appreciate our deep theological discussions, but also our shared sense of humor. I am thankful for Jonathan's deep convictions of Biblical truth and his commitment to doing whatever God wants for us. I am looking forward to serving the Lord with Jonathan in whatever area God has for our life.

I can truly say that I am married to my best friend! I would rather spend time with Jonathan than anyone else in this world!! I love and appreciate you, Jonathan!!

Asa is growing and changing

I wanted to update the blog with new pictures of Asa.
He's about 9 1/4 pounds now and 22 inches long.
He's growing and becoming much more aware of the world around him.






He enjoys baths and likes to be outside. He likes riding
in the car, but it doesn't put him to sleep.
Asa will be 6 weeks old on Thursday, the 30th.

Nixon Investigation

Thought this would have something to do with Watergate? Fooled you! It is just our cat, Nixon, taking a closer look at the new addition to the family.
