Happy Valentine's Day

Well we are already half way through the month of February, it seemed like last week was Christmas! We are all getting over the congestion and bronchitis type stuff that is going around. Tray is 5 ½ months old and growing and learning each day. He is teething, so we are learning what it is like to go from laughing to screaming and crying. He has begun to sleep through the night and eating 7 ounces at each feeding, he is eating some fruits for solids and next month, he will start on vegetables. He has started to imitate mommy when she plays with him and talks to him, he loves to be held and bounced. He laughs when tickled and will coos more now then last month. I start laughing when I am holding him and he just lowers his head while keeping eye contact with me and just starts to coo, like it is a serious conversation that we are carrying on. He loves to sit and watch TV in his exersaucer, but would rather be playing with mommy and daddy. We had our 1st experience with the emergency room with Tray 2 weeks ago with him coming down with a bad case of bronchitis, but he is much better now and we looking forward to it getting warm again.

We were surprised coming out of “Crosstrainers” last night at church to find that it was snowing pretty heavy. I was unaware that we were supposed to get any.
We had about an inch to 2 inches. We have had 2 snows this year, which is more than we have had the last 2 years combined.

What’s going on here in North Carolina with us? Bekah is still working at Kerwin Baptist Church as a secretary and I have been at Old Dominion Freight Line going on 10 months now. We both enjoy our jobs with the good people that the Lord has surrounded us with. We are about to start practices for our Easter program and I am playing softball again this spring. We are planning to have a garden this year and anticipating a good crop with the addition of our honeybees. I am not sure how much canning will be done with more responsibilities with Tray but hope to some vegetables and fruits.

On this Valentine’s Day may we share the “TRUE LOVE” that was demonstrated to us by our Lord Jesus Christ!
