Father of two

With the arrival of Eli we were not sure how our lives would change. While it does not seems to different at the moment I know that in fact God is easing us into to slowly. Eli has been a great little man, he very well tempered and so handsome. Slowly he has become more and more fussy but it does not seem as bad because it has been a slow progression to its current noise level (I know its only getting worse). God has also given us our sweet little lady, Emma Grace. She has been a big helper with laundry, dipper disposal and other small errands. Today for the second day in a row she has slept on a mat at work, which is a way of God getting her ready to give up her crib to her brother in a few months. Thank you God for the amazing ways that you work!!
Sarah of course has the raw in of the deal since breast feeding is one of a very few things that make Eli happy. She spends a lot of time with him during the night feeding him, while I wake up periodically to groan and help with a dipper change (sometimes). Sarah is in fact my favorite super hero. What other super hero is as beautiful and sweet as Sarah, but also can make milk, and calm a grumpy man (or 2 men to be exact). I love you Sarah!

Life in NOLA continues

We moved again (2nd time in NOLA) and no longer live on magazine street. Sad I know. We are now the night staff at the.Baptist friendship house. Sarah, Emma and I are loving it! We get to hang out with cool people and minister in our city. We are coming up on our 3rd year in NOLA, and praise GOD for providing us with good jobs and great friends. But we miss our family and friends on SC too. Our solution is for them all to move here, or buy a jet that comes from SC to NOLA every Friday, and leaves on Sunday,so we can always have our friends and family! Our little Eli (spell check suggested Elk) will be here in three short months. Scary but exciting. We will have as many kids as our parents. Woah are we getting old or what!
