Nov. 19, 2007 - Where did October go anyway?
Hey there!
Well, yeah. So it's pretty much going on 2 months since ya'll last heard from me. (My, my! Does this life never slow down? ;) Really, all's been quite well with the Vinsons these days, minus some of that sickly flu junk going around. My husband is working, working, working, and when he's not doing that he's schooling, schooling, schooling. I am blessed beyond words to have such a diligent, hard-working, selfless man as he. We are both excited to be nearing the end of our semesters. We have big plans to rip out our dated old carpet in the living room and hallway as soon as school is out and replace it with some lovely engineered hard wood floors. We cannot WAIT. It'll be our Christmas present to each other this year. I'll have to post before and after pictures so ya'll can see the beautiful transformation that will be taking place. ;)
Now, onto all of the fun new antics of our bouncing 10-month old boy...
Clarke is truly growing and developing in leaps and bounds. (And yes, I am following close behind him as he leaps and bounds from wall to wall!) Every day I'm amazed at the new thing he's learning. For instance, he's picking up sign language now. He's getting better at asking us for more to eat. It's precious!
He's also toddlin' all around these days, gettin' into literally everything. He has almost convinced himself that walking is more fun and nearly as fast as crawling. But, until this revelation truly hits him, he'll still do a combination of crawling and walking.
Clarke has decided that he is such a big boy when he sits in his rocking chair. He'll sit for the longest time and rock back and forth. (His daddy and I love those moments of stillness because he rarely stops long enough to stay in one place for very long.)
Also, he simply ADORES his daddy! He'll chant to himself "Da da da" and make a be-line for the door when he hears the garage door open every afternoon when Travis comes home. He's usually standing in the kitchen, waiting excitedly and squealing with delight when his Daddy walks in. This is their chase each other around the house, wrestle and play time and Clarke knows it. I love sitting back and watching my boys have such a great time together.
Now, did we name our son Clarke, or Mr. Friendly? Our little man is SUCH a people person! There's hardly one person that he won't talk to or give a huge ol' smile. My goodness, he just won't stop flirting with and charming all the ladies. (*whispering* Hopefully that part will only be a phase.... :)
As my dear boy is now needing some attention, I shall have to close this entry. We are anxiously anticipating the start of the holiday season this week. We are planning on spending some time with TX family, thinking of our dear KS family and hopefully just enjoying time together as our own little family of three.
May God bless you all and keep you safe this Thanksgiving! May you take the time to reflect on all of the Lord's wondrous blessings.

Wow, it HAS been a while. I mean for me! Last time I stopped by Clarke was a newborn! He's now 10 months old! Wow! It's not "where did October go" but more like "where has this YEAR gone?"! He's a very beautiful boy with a kind and loving smile! May the Lord continue to bless you!
