Bennett took his first step on Thursday. He was walking around the coffee table, and as he got close to me I held out my arms and said "come here baby," he then let go with both hands and took a step in my direction before falling into my arms. I can't believe how fast our baby boy is growing! It wont be long now before he is walking, talking, and causing all kinds of trouble for mommy and daddy!
Kyle got to feel Harper kick! It was just the coolest thing! I imagine that no matter how many children a woman has, there is nothing quite like being able to feel him/her move for the first time and then getting to share that with your husband. We are experiencing the miracle of life all over again and God has blessed us immensely with another happy and healthy baby. I am so excited about being able to see Harper's growth as I grow along with her! I cant wait to hold this little girl in my arms...
In other news, we are again thinking about moving back to Tulsa. As some of you know, Kyle applied at a church in Arkansas and made the first round of cuts only to find out that they didnt think he had enough experience to qualify for a full-time position. Can I say that getting into the ministry is really, really hard? I never imagined that my sweet, kind, loving and passionate husband would be continually overlooked by churches that believed he didnt have enough experience. Its so frustrating and partially liberating at the same time. We are both starting to believe that we're not ready to be in ministry yet, and that has to be why God keeps closing doors. So, now that we know that Arkansas isnt an option, we are seriously discussing moving back to OK. I know that many people will question our motives for coming here and moving back so quickly, but the truth is: we miss our families. We want Bennett and Harper to have a part in the lives of their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. (I also cant imagine being 5 1/2 hours away trying to raise an infant and toddler all by myself while Kyle is working) Moving back to Tulsa for us is the best of both worlds, Kyle will still be able to take class and work at QT and we will be close to our friends and family. We really miss Josh, Bethany and Ian too.
I turn 17 weeks pregnant tomorrow, and Bennett turns 10 months old! We are already in preperation for his Monster Bash in August. I cant wait to have his cake smash pictures done and throw his party. In two short months, our baby boy will no longer be a baby anymore...he will have transitioned into the world of toddlerhood..
