Just Plain Fun

     As usual, we've been busy this week, but it was actually with FUN stuff.  On Tuesday Marcus and I met up with Whitney and Holden for an afternoon in the park. Holden will be one in June and is already up and running around.  It was amazing to see this child, who was physically smaller than Marcus, moving so well...and almost TALKING!  He's not only cute, but smart, too!
     On Thursday, Grandad Bolen came for a visit and spent most of the day with us.  Marcus didn't know what to think of this man with a deep voice at first, but quickly warmed up to him with giggles and grins.  They enjoyed each other so much that they hardly knew I was in the room (just kidding).  We ended the day at none other than the BBQ Inn.  The only sad part was that Marcus couldn't enjoy the good food like we did (he had his own mixture of different fruits - yum!).
     Finally, yesterday Marcus and I met up with our other good friends, the Creasmans.  Erin and sweet baby Adelyn took us to a local park in Brevard for a stroll while the weather was still nice.  Adelyn is almost 4 months younger than Marcus and just a doll!  The weather was PERFECT while we were there and only turned into nasty thunderstorms once Marcus and I were safe within the walls of our Buckshot Ridge home.
     As it was storming, I stood at the window with Marcus and watched the downpour.  His little eyes lit up with curiosity and excitement as the lightening struck and thunder boomed.  He never once seemed scared when he was with me, but was very intrigued with the whole thing.  It was a great reminder of how mighty and how STRONG our Lord is, yet how safe I feel when I'm in His arms.   No matter the storms surrounding your life, you can feel safe and secure when you know and trust Jesus as your Savior.

This is Marcus' 2nd time on a swing and he seemed to like it better than the first.

This was the best picture I could get of the two of them since Holden was so active and Marcus wasn't really impressed with just sitting there, doing nothing.  Boys will be boys!

Now that he's sitting up in the tub, he seems to enjoy his bath toys.

"Gimme that fish."

Those are sleepy eyes.

Here's a picture of some of my favorite men.

Even though he can't crawl, he can still make quite the mess.

"Oh man!  I'm in trouble!"

Marcus already had a bath this day, but it was his 6pm fussies, so we put him in the sink to happily play.

Here's our big boy, this morning, playing on the floor with a new found toy.
