Hold My Rock

Caleb loves rocks. He totally loves 'em. As I was following him around on Sunday morning, I watched him as he collected 3 perfect rocks. Large, round, oval, smooth rocks. He carefully held them to his chest as he played, ran and jumped in the puddles. It was time to climb the stairs and he needed at least one of his hands to hold on to the rail. He turns to me and places one of the lovely rocks in my palm....

"Hold my rock", he says.

"Ok, baby, I'll hold it", I say. I am so proud of him. I can't wait to see who he becomes. I love watching him learn and grow and love.

My baby. No longer a baby.

My big boy.

Not the way to spend a Saturday...

I just spent alllll day writing a paper for my psych class. Allllll day, like 12 hours. So not fun. I just couldn't get it out on paper. I better get an A. Betcha I don't though. My teacher is tough. :(

I got my period today, too. Phooey :(. This month makes it 1 year since we've been trying for baby #2. Why can't i get pregnant? What does God have in store for me and my family? Another baby as wonderful as the one He's already given us? Maybe, maybe not. But I hope so. I hope so soon. This stinks. 1 year. {sigh} We waited 2 years for Caleb. Those were 2 very, very hard years. Thank God for Caleb. He brings me pure joy. I am so lucky to be his mom. 1 year. {sigh, again}

Bennett Family Photos 2009






I miss posting on my blog!... I have been so busy with my online class that I haven't had time to update. I'm really trying for an "A" but I have a feeling it's gonna be a "B" instead. My teacher is really hard. I study alllll the time and get good grades on my quizzes but he totally jacked me on my essay (got an 82 when it should have been more like a 92). :( Oh well. Just 2 weeks left and then I start a 5 week Chemistry class in January.

Our Thanksgiving was wonderful -- we spent it at my parents' house and John's family came over to celebrate with us! We have great families. It is so nice that they all get along. We have so much to be thankful for!

These are our latest family photos. My baby is growing up so fast. I love him more and more every DAY! Enjoy!
