So sorry its been this long since i've posted!!! Mason is now almost 5 months old! He is sooooooooooooo much fun!! I love being his mommy! Ryan is an amazing daddy and its a blessing that God has given him to me as my husband! We are slowly settling in as parents! Are we slow learners? Maybe but everyday presents new challenges that we have to figure out how to deal with them the best we know how in our own newly formed family!! Mason is now rolling over to his tummy! He's giggling more and he's now reaching for things he wants to play with! He reached for me the other day and I about cried! We just had the Brenneman christmas and Mason got a wagon!! Ryan put it together tonight and took Mason for a ride around the house! He seemed to like it! He held on to the side of the wagon looking down at the ground with a puzzled look. He's an observer! Its so cute tos ee Mason and Avery together. She lets Mason nibble on her arm and they take naps holding hands sometimes! Its adorable. Andrea is our babysitter and I couldn't have asked for anyone better! I can't wait for christmas at my mom's house! Jt, addi, emma, and now the babies ...what a day it will be!!!! I pray all of you are doing well and I will try to update you a lot more!!!! Does anyone know of some good educational toys or dvd's for infants? if you do let me know :)

So far so good :) Mason is over his colic and we feel like we are now getting to know our son! He's a very pleasant little guy now that his tummy doesn't hurt so bad and he's not screaming 20 hours a day :) He is smiling at us a lot and is starting to laugh a little! Andrea is our babysitter and I couldn't ask for a better blessing! She is an angel! She does a wonderful job and Mason really loves her ( no fears Angel he loves you too :)!!!!) I am thankful to God every morning for sending me my precious lil' man! Ryan got a promotion at work and now he is a trainer! He will be training all the state's new hires that come in for highway maintance! He's been wanting this job for over a year now and interviewed for it last year so we were very excited when he got the job this time around! He will have to do some traveling, but we can manage that for a while! Its amazing to see how much Mason looks like his daddy! I tried downloading updated pics but for some strange reason the computer says the pic has to be smaller than 1mg..whatever that means. Have a great weekend and good luck to Stacy Hastings and her fundraiser!

About on our way to go worship our Lord and Savior! I love fall time and its a beautiful day out! We have so many things to be thankful for! God truly takes care of us each and every day! I hope everyone enjoys their time praising God. Not just on Sundays but everyday. Life gets in my way a lot and I need to work on setting time out of my daily schedule to give to God! Give me some ways on how you make sure you spend time working for the Lord each day please! This will help to encourage me I'm sure! And motivate me as well..I have the desire- and that's half the battle :)

This labor day has a new meaning to me...i've acutally gone through labor :) I hope everyone has a great weekend! Mason is now 7 weeks old and he smiled at me when I said "Hi baby boy" it was the biggest gummiest smile i've every seen...and my heart melted!! Tomorrow is his first OSU game! We are going to go watch it with Papa and he even has a tshirt that says "my first OSU tshirt" he's gonna look stinkin cute :) Go Bucks!!

My baby is growing bigger everyday! I love him more everyday too! He's smiling more and trying to coo! He sucked his thumb yesterday too! Mommy-hood is awesome!
