WOW!!!

I cannot believe that is has been over a month since my last post. Jesse & I were sick for two weeks and ever since then I've been so tired that I haven't really felt like blogging. So much has happened in the past month. Jeremy is almost done with Paramedic school and Jesse is growing like a weed.

I must say that I am truly blessed!!! I don't know why God chooses to bless us because we definitely do not deserve it! I've been wanting a new (better) camera and Jeremy and I were going to save up the money (mostly from our birthday and anniversay money) and buy a decent camera that would grow with us. Well, we finished our tax return and to our suprise - we did not owe the IRS!!! In fact, we were getting a nice return from both federal and state!!! The check came in the mail on Thursday!!! So, I went tonight and purchaed the camera and it is amazing!!! (that's actually an understatement!!) We plan to use the money from our birthdays and anniversary to purchase another lens for the camera!! Plus - we're using the rest of the money to pay off a few bills, put a roof on the back porch, and take a much needed vacation to the beach this summer!!! I am so thankful for the blessings God chooses to pour out on us!!!

So here is the scoop on Jesse - this is from my online journal entry - today, so it's written to him. Enjoy!!
I am so sorry I didn't write in the journal last week. I feel so horrible about it. However your develpoment has slowed a little and I don't want to write the same thing each week! That is not the case this week!! We are now feeding you sweetpotates and you love them!! You also love the applesauce, bananas and carrots we feed you too!! You are a very good eater!! You have learned to pull your socks off and you are still trying to get your toes into your mouth. Your legs aren't quite long enough to reach your mouth - but you sure do try!!! You are getting so close to rolling from your back to your tummy!!! I have a feeling that once you master that, it won't be long until you crawling. WOW!!! But perhaps the most exciting thing that happened this week happened on Wednesday and then again today!!! Your first tooth began to appear on Wednesday and the second one started coming in today!! It makes me a little sad because it means that my little baby boy is growing up. But I am so proud of how well your growing and changing each day!!! I feel tremendously blessed to be able to stay at home with you and to witness all these miraculous milestones!!! I love you so much!!! You giggle almost all the time and you love to eat your baby food!! You are such a blessing to our lives!!! Sometimes I wonder if you realize just how much you are loved?? I cannot wait til the day when you can wrap your little arms around my neck and say, "Mommy, I love you!" I will probably cry that day - but it will be because I am so happy and blessed by you - my little Jesse!!!!

I cannot say enough - just how much I love my little Jesse!! He is amazing, absolutely amazing!!!! I love him so very much!!!! I cannot imagine life without him!!
