Merritt showing off his flexibility.

The Trampoline

Mark found a full size trampoline on Craig's List for $20.00. When he went to pick it up, the gentleman asked him, "How old are you kids." If I would have been there I would have answered, "He's 30." So here are a couple glimpses of Merritt on his trampoline. Also, on a side note, Merritt has moved into pterodactyl screeching as Mark likes to call it.

Merritt is Always Changing

Since I have been completely deliquent in updateing my blog-I feel I need to now make up for all the lost entries I could have had. What Is Merritt doing now? Well he can sit up assisted by finger holding or the bumbo, he laughs out loud and squeals when he wants my attention, he rolls onto his tummy and side (but he prefers to do it at night or on his changing table), he likes to watch the kitty (excited for the moment he can grab her tail), his eyes are brown and his hair is growing in, he is learning to like baths, and last of all he is really, really excited to eat some solid food! I think we will start rice cereal tomorrow. I am continually in awe of how God makes this little baby so perfect in every way. I think of his teeny heart beating and how he says he loves me with his eyes and there is no doubt in my mind about how much our Creator cares for each of us.

The Election-An Unlikely Canidate

Well...I voted today. I spent the better half (or maybe the worst half) of the morning researching the canidates and searching my heart for what was important to me...asking God for guidance. I came to the conclusion that what my political passions are may not be as impotant as what Christ instructed while on earth. Being a follower of Christ, I would hope that the very few political views that I am actually passionate about would be in line with the Bilble. However, as I continued to think about what Jesus taught and who/what he focused on, I found an unlikey canidate and voted...ta da. Hoping for the best-May His will be done.
