We had such a wonderful past 2 weeks filled with lots of activities and time with family and friends. Having Kimmy and her family in town was especially fun, even though it was crazy crazy crazy most of the time. It is always very hard to see her leave.
It seems like Wright grew up 6 months while his cousins were in town. He picked up lots of new words and actions. His new thing is that he is SO stubborn. He throws his body all over the place when I try to change his clothes and diaper and he has decided he HATES his car seat. That combined with learning to say "no" (and shaking his head violently while he says it) have been a true test of patience for me. I am hopeful that these actions are merely a phase he is going through and not signs of his true personality.
As always, it is a little hard that Christmas and New Years is over and tomorrow is back to reality. I am so used to constantly having stuff going on and people around me that hanging out with just Wright feels a little lonely. Plus I am getting a little nervous about job searching in the next couple of weeks and what all that will bring. That being said, I am confident that the Lord has a plan for us and will keep to His promise to provide and take care of us, especially during this time when money is tighter than normal. My biggest prayer is that I will find a job that is a great fit for me and has child care for Wright. Sometimes that seems extremely daunting, but I have complete faith in an awesome and powerful God who has proven time and again that he can make the seemingly impossible reality for those who believe in Him.
