Jack turned one month old today so I thought I’d take this opportunity to provide some updates. It feels like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital and now he’s almost walking and talking. Okay, time isn’t moving that fast, but this last month sure does feel like a blur. Jack is doing well though we can’t seem to convince him that he should sleep through the night. He had a doctor’s appointment today and he weighs 9lbs, 12oz – up 2lbs 9oz from when he was born! Rome seems to be adjusting well to his new role as a big brother. He is very gentle with Jack and really hasn’t been acting jealous but lately he’s decided he doesn’t need to take naps which we think may be his way of acting out. The reality, though, is that he really does need his naps because he too ends up waking up at night, sometimes coming out of his room. We’ve also been giving a run at potty training him, but so far that’s not much of a success. Probably just too much going on right now. As for Kris and me, life is pretty much a blur…wait, didn’t I say that already? Kris is just plain and simple an awesome woman. It amazes me how she can take care of 2 kids on little sleep. She has more patience in her little finger than I could ever hope for and she even manages to keep me in line too! I really don’t know what I’d do without her. I’m pretty fortunate to have a relatively light load this quarter which is good because it’s been hard to concentrate with everything going on. I can hardly believe in only a little over 3 days we’ll be finding out where I’ll serve for my first call! There is a lot of buzz on campus from guys in my class about where everyone is headed…some know, some (like myself) have really no clue. It’s all in the Lord’s hands and I trust wherever He sends me, I’ll be able to use the gifts He’s given me to serve the people well. Then, 4 weeks after Call Day I’ll be graduating from the Seminary and before we know it…we’ll be moving again (Lord willing we’ll stay put for a while this time!) All in all, things are going well but it’s been a crazy ride these past few weeks. I wonder what I’ll think when I actually have some time to process this! Did I mention life is pretty much a blur right now?
Oh yeah – if you’re interested, the info for the Call Placement service (including a live stream) can be found on the Seminary’s website. Here’s the link: http://www.csl.edu/Resources_CallDay2008.aspx
