Its 9:17am and its already been a long morning. I should probably wait to blog until Im a bit more coherent, but this will just have to work. Have I said that I love hazlenut coffee? I think its the highlight of my mornings (after seeing my hubby and my sweet baby boy's morning smile.) Hazlenut coffee is just so yummy.
I couldnt sleep again last night. I dont know whats wrong with me, I just cant sleep anymore. Ill have one night of really great sleep and then not sleep well for the next two nights. I think its because Kyle isnt here. These night shifts arent getting easier for either of us. We pray every night that the Lord will open up a door for Kyle to work somewhere else. (Isnt being so far away from our family hard enough without adding this night-time job as well??) I just want to be able to sleep. Next to my husband preferably.
11:00 church services are a blessing. I wish all churches would have 11:00 services. I feel like I have so much more time in the mornings when we dont have to be at church until 11. This morning, for instance, I got up at 6:45, started the roast for dinner, made scrambled eggs with canadian bacon and pepperjack cheese and mini cinnamon rolls, got Bennett up, fed him, played with him, put him down for his nap and cleaned the kitchen. I have been productive already! Mornings like this are great, when I sleep...today, Im exhausted and its only 9:25. I could go back to bed right now and sleep for several hours...Im lazy!
Bennett is turning into such a strong-willed child. His personality is definately starting to shine through and its so funny (and partly annoying sometimes). He is a whiner!! When he doesnt get what he wants, he wont stop whining. Especially when he is on his tummy...he high-centers on his tummy, flails his arms and legs and whines. Its kinda funny. We think he is starting to cut teeth again too...His top gums are swollen and you can really see the outline of little teeth. Poor baby. I remember cutting my wisdom teeth...that was awful. Pray for Bennett...cutting teeth is painful.
Also, please pray for me, that Ill start sleeping well again. And pray that God opens a door for Kyle to work somewhere else. Bennett starts going to Mothers Day Out on campus this week too, just on Tuesdays. Pray he adjusts well and enjoys playing with other babies. Im worried about him.

Long Overdue
Its been a LONG while since I last posted. I really need to get better at doing this.
Kyle has finally found a job. Its been a week ago today that he started at Quik Trip. The Lord has really blessed us by giving him this job, but can I say that its a blessing that Im ready to be rid of? Kyle works nights now so, Im home all by myself (with Bennett) from around 10pm-7:30am. And to top it all off, Kyle hates it too. I think this whole situation would be a lot easier if he were working at a job he loves. It is a blessing that we no longer have to worry about our finances though.
Bennett is growing so fast! He is SO CLOSE to crawling, its insane. He will get on his hands and knees and just rock back and forth...try and crawl a bit and crash land on his face. Its so cute and fun and sad at the same time. I wish he would just crawl. He would be so much happier than he already is. Im also trying to teach him sign language. Right now he is learning MILK, EAT, SLEEP, MORE and UP. Its kind of a difficult process with my son that doesnt pay attention to one thing for more than a few seconds. Its really hard to get him to pay attention to my signing when he is so anxious for milk, or sleep, etc.
My baby boy will be 7 months in less than two weeks. How time flies. Im ready for another baby.
Anyone who is praying for us, thank you. Please continue to pray for us. Below are some specific things we need prayer for.
1. That Kyle's time at QT will be short and sweet and God will call us to a church where he can serve as the youth pastor.
2. That Bennett will have a smooth adjustment whenever God calls us somewhere else.
3. That I will learn to have patience and I will be slow to anger and quick in love.
