It's Friday and I couldn't be more excited. Not that the week hasn't gone well but I do love Fridays. All things considering, I think we did quite well adjusting to having Jamie gone all day and me working from home. I think there are times when Aidan wonders where is dad is but when he sees him at the end of the day he is all smiles. I think it will be good for us (Aidan and I) to get on our own schedule and figure out how we are going to do daily life. I can't even say that I am all too stressed about the situation either. It's going to work out just fine.

Aidan has had quite the week. He has spent lots of time over at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He enjoys spending time over there and playing with the toys that they have. He has had the special priviledge of spending quality time with great-grandma Beck. She has come for a visit from Minnesota. He has taken quite a liking towards her and gives her kisses almost everytime he sees her. You must know that this is a rarity. He doesn't always give kisses on demand and only when he wants to. And for whatever reason he thinks that great-grandma needs/deserves kisses. We are looking forward to spending some more time with her this weekend. Jamie and I are going to be taking her out golfing tomorrow. I am looking forward to this because I haven't gotten to golf much this summer. This will probably be the last time for the season.

Aidan has done rather well playing on his own today. He goes in spurts with wanting you to play with him and then being content to play on his own. I want to make sure that I always make time to play with him so that he knows that he is the most important part of my day. I want him to know that I will always have time to play with him. I think that is important. I guess I am realizing more and more these days how important our lives really are and how important it is to live in each moment, treasure the memories, and make sure that at the end of the day I have focused on the things that matter. I feel that it is so easy to get caught up in the mundane things in life that in light of eternity don't really matter.

God placed in my heart a saying that one of my bible teachers once told me, "Don't ask why, trust His heart." I always interrpreted that to mean that it was important to remember who He was and not worry about the Why's in life. It is hard to do sometimes but it truly is important. My God is: Father, Sovereign, Loving, Gracious, Forgiving and so much more. I find so much peace and contentment in knowing these truths. What is He to you???

I'm glad things are going well for your little family and that you are starting to find a routine. I'm having the same dilemma, trying to make sure Ben knows he comes first...it's so easy to find other things to do instead of playing with him. It looks like Ben and Aidan have the same shirt...ARRR Matey!
Hey Guys,

Thanks for the reminder Megs to trust God's heart when we don't know why! It was a good reminder for me this week as we get over the shock of a friend's cancer.....glad we can trust His heart!
Oh those blue blue eyes and cheeks! You are very blessed to be able to stay at home and work. Your philosophy regarding playing is very admirable. I too struggle with that. Best of luck trying to figure out a schedule that works!
Great spirtiual truth, Megan. I agree, asking "Why?" is often the wrong question. Trusting God and loving Christ passionately and giving Him first place in our lives. Know that I pray for you and Jamie and Aidan every day. I love you, Dad............
