And Our Turn

Yup. Terra and I joined Darrian in the puke-fest. Within a short 12 hour period all three of us were tossing our cookies. It sucked. Fortunately, I had a long nap this afternoon, and that helped me a lot. Terra has been feeling better this evening, but is still under the weather. Darrian hasn't thrown up today, so hopefully he's coming out on the right side of things. What a day.

The joys of parenthood

So this morning I get woken up at 5:30 am by a crying baby boy. I head into his room and reluctantly change his diaper(which didn't really need to be changed), then suddenly notice that his clothes are wet. Upon further inspection I discover that yes, our boy has thrown up. Surprisingly, this is pretty much my first experience with this - something for which I'm very grateful! So we clean everything up and put him back to bed, only to be woken up again a few hours later by, you guessed it, another upchuck. He repeated this performance one more time at 1:30 this afternoon - that was a doozy. Not to mention going through many, many diapers. We finally stuck him in the tub this afternoon because no matter how much we wiped him off, he still stunk! I never know so much nasty stuff could come out of one little package. If this keeps up, I might have trouble convincing Terra that we should have four kids! :)

Going to Mexico?

Well, our youth group is officially looking into the possibility of going to Mexico for a Missions trip. And I'm excited. I find myself thinking about Mexico a lot (long before this trip was planned). I often wonder if God is calling me back there, or if I'm just missing it because it was such a good time in my life. I know that when I lived down there, there were many times that I felt way out of my comfort zone, and struggled with different aspects of the culture and the things I was doing. But at the same time I really enjoyed it. So the question becomes, am I romanticizing my time down there, remembering it as better than it really was, or is God actually possibly calling me back there some day. I don't have a clue at this point. All I know is that I'm really stoked about the possibility of getting to go back for a while. Now I just have to wait a year. Sigh.
