Ever tried chasing an 18 month old for a diaper on a beautiful sunny day???
Sometimes I feel like a broken record on this blog but I feel like my time with Bo just grows sweeter. He is now almost 19 months and has a personality of personalities. He is a charmer and is apparently fluent in Chinese (I'm guessing that is what he speaks to me all day long). He talks, runs, jumps, laughs, smiles, and is a ball of energy. 100% boy yet his heart is so tender---he already reminds me of his wonderful daddy. He is playful, curious, and loving---his big beautiful blue eyes glimmer as he explores, learns, and grows each day. Bo brings us more joy than we ever could have asked for or imagined.
Do you ever stop...and pause...and think...that our God of this beautiful world relishes in us as we do the sweetness of a small child? The joy Bo brings fills my heart in such a way that I can't begin to fathom or digest the love Christ has for me. I feel like my days as a mom are full of unspoken worship as I am in awe that God would entrust one of His own children into my care. What an amazing gift.
Here are a few sweet shots:
In the oh so fun Bilibo...
Get naked and eat spaghetti!
Busted playing in the dog's water bowl...again...used to seem like a big deal but how fun is water to a little boy???

Ashley,
What precious words....I feel exactly the same way. That unspoken worship...my eyes tear up many times a day with such joy-I just cannot fathom how our Father loves me with the same love and joy--and even more! Amazing...
Anyways, thank you for this sweet entry. I hope you are feeling well!!
