elmo gets a check-up


I love this little boy...he is a constant source of love, joy, and of course, entertainment! He has recently given us a whole new picture of "praying without ceasing"...no matter where we are, at dinner, before bed, in target, in the car, anywhere...he will stop me several times a day, bow his head, fold his hands and say,"Mommy...this" And we pray...we pray in Target, we pray in the car...we pray at the park. What a precious lesson to learn from my 22 month-old! Thank you Lord, that he already knows that he can talk with you at any time! I am so thankful that we have Jack for a little while, but even more thankful that he will always belong to the Lord.

That is so sweet, Tine. I love that little boy and wished that we got to see him/yall more often. I love that I get to watch you and MattyP be such good christian parents. Y'all are such great examples for Baby Jack to follow. I am so proud of y'all and all that you do.

Love you

HI! I love seeing new pictures of Jack. He is adorable! I am glad yall had fun in NYC! There is no place like it! I am really looking forward to moving to Ft. Worth! I really hope we get together. Where are yall living now? Is it still Keller? We know Dallas, but have no clue where to start with Ft. Worth. Matt will be working down town. We are excited to start looking for a house! Hope to see you often when we get there!!! :)

Congratulations. Christine. Hope the new job works out good for you. Your son is definitely a keeper. Just wish we could see him more often. I loved the pictures of him and Riley at her party. They will grow up to be good buddies.

Poppi and I think you all have the cutest kids anywhere.

Love you. Nana

Congratulations on your new job! You will be such a great teacher! I love pictures and stories of Jack--he is such a sweet and thoughtful kid, just like his parents! I miss you!

Oh, baby Jack! Hard to believe he will be 2 soon! Each time I am with him, I am amazed. He is such a blessing to all of us, just as you and Matt are. As things change over the next few weeks, remember that we will all be near to help you make the adjustment. Jack will be fine - look how many he is touching already!
Mimi loves Jack!

OH that he is so precious!

OK Christine, the dress, target. I think it may be the best dress I've ever owned. I just bought it yesterday. It's so much better in person. You should totally go get it. I had to go to three different Targets to find my size, hopefully you'll have better luck than me! If I die anytime soon, tell my loved ones, I want to be buried in it.

Hey Pins! It seems forever since we've seen you but I do stay updated on you all 3. Wish we lived closer so we could give Jack lots of hugs. I think you need to plan a trip to visit before you go to work......after that it's "nose to the grind". We could take a day trip to see the Houston cousins and go to the beach. My calendar is wide open! Let me know. I am suffering a horrible case of "summer cabin fever". Love to you all.....Lynn
