We're back with some Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

The blog is back!! I know there hasn't been a post in 5 months and so much has happened and changed in that time! It took 7 months, but I am finally to the point in figuring out mommy-hood enough to find time to blog again! So sorry that it has taken sooo long, but I'm going to catch ya'll up to date real quick and try very hard to post regularly again. ;)

SO, the last time Tony blogged he was graduating from SWBTS and announced our exciting new adventure in Houston.  So, 5 months later we are here and settled in a rental house here in Houston.  Tony is serving as the Middle School Minister at Houston's First Baptist Church. Grayson will be 7 months old next week (WHAT!?). It has been an awesome journey already!  This summer we were able to take a quick trip home to Illinois before we moved to Houston; Grayson and I went with Tony and the youth group to RUSH week in Branson, MO; the Bianco family were able to visit us in Branson and my mom came for a visit here in Houston. It's already October and I am counting down the days to Christmas in Illinois (and hopefully Grayson's first snow!).

We are so very blessed here and have no doubt that this is right where God wants us serving.  We are absolutely in love with our church - the students, the staff, the pastor and his preaching, the people... Amazing church, amazing people, God is blessing! Tony feels so blessed by this job.  I feel very blessed here in so many ways. I have a group of 7th grade girls for Life Bible Study who are precious and blessing me immensely! It feels so good to be with students again! I am making friends with other staff wives and youth leaders in the church. Grayson is so very loved by nursery workers and our friends here and he is making friends himself. And I've begun working part-time in the church nursery 2-3 days a week with 2 year olds.  I have days where I struggle still transitioning and figuring out the whole "stay-at-home mom" thing... but I know this is what God wants for me and my son right now and he is and will bless me.

Grayson is growing!! Oh my word he is growing!! I cannot believe that my little baby boy is 7 months old next week!! Some of the days are slow going, but the months are flying by me.  Wish I could freeze time... It won't be long before he'll be so wiggly and full of energy he won't want to cuddle with his momma. :(  But he does right now! He is a momma's boy through and through; Lord I pray for his future wife! ;)  He LOVES his daddy, though! Every night when Tony comes home from work and Grayson hears his daddy's voice and sees him walk in he gets the biggest smile!  Grayson is now sitting and rolling all over the place and scooting like an inch worm. It won't be long til he is crawling. He has such a personality, it is awesome to watch.

So I will leave you with some pictures of the last few months to catch you up and the promise that I will try to blog weekly, if not every other week. ;)

0-3 Months

And if you need even more pics, I am constantly adding pics to my facebook page (by month)!
