Jul. 5, 2007 - Life keeps moving on
My word! Has it really been that long since I updated this blog? Yikes. This summer is turning into one big blurrr.
Let me start by saying that life has been absolutely wonderful here for us! Even though it feels like the tasks we must accomplish from day to day will sometimes consume us, we are still enjoying life and feeling God's blessings upon us always. 
So far our summer has consisted of quite a lot of school for Travis and I. We are both taking online courses this summer and I have to say that he's amazing me once again with his ability to work full time, spend quality time with his family and still make fantastic grades!! He is such an inspiration to me. There’s really no one quite like my hubby. 
Because there has been such a huge amount of things keeping us occupied of late, I’ll just fill you in on what Clarke’s been up to lately. After all, he’s waaaay more interesting. 
First of all, he is growing sooo fast!! Travis and I say all the time that we LOVE the stage that he’s in right now. It's not that I want Clarke to stay this age forever, but I definitely want to remember as many of the details and precious things he's doing at this stage of his life. Pictures and home videos only capture tiny glimpses into the life of this adorable little man of ours. He truly is an absolute JOY. Somehow, I just want to hold on to these days in my heart so that I can cherish them for years to come. When he's snuggling up close to me I just pray that I won’t ever forget these wonderful moments together. 
Our little guy started army crawling/jumping forward/rocking on all fours about 3 weeks ago. He’s so cute!! He loves his newfound freedom and mobility.
Also, we gave him his first bite of real food (well, if you can call rice cereal “real food”) last Thursday. We couldn’t believe it, but he DEVOURED it like we have been literally starving him his whole life!!
He and his daddy are such buddies! Travis always makes Clarke just SCREAM with delight when they’re playing together. It’s so cute.
Also, Clarke enjoyed his visit with his sweet cousin Faith at her 1-year-old birthday party last month!
A couple times Faith looked like Clarke was invading her personal space a little here, but he seemed oblivious.
What else can I say? Clarke just brings so much joy and laughter into our home.
GOD IS GOOD.
