A Hello

This is our first attempt at a "blog," so bear with us! We decided to do a blog to keep our family and friends apprised of our little family. Here's the latest:

Brae: He's now almost 6 months old! He has just started on solids and has a penchant for sweet potatoes. Not a big fan of bananas so far. Last night was the first time he tried carrots. Not as good as sweet potatoes. He's sitting up much longer on his own (a few minutes) before he tumbles over. His favorite show is "Handy Manny" on Disney. He has discovered that crying achieves him things. For example, he knows that crying means that he can get attention if he's bored or wants to be picked up. It's no longer about basic needs. He is no longer swaddled at night for sleep, so he's taken great liberty with rolling all over his crib during sleep. He prefers to sleep on his stomach with his face firmly planted in the sheet. (Yes - he can still breathe!) His favorite toy is still the remote control. He loves Norm and Lilith; especially Lilith because she lets him pull her hair.

Tygh: Tygh is doing well at work and, praise God, still has a job despite this economy. He's hard at work on various projects, going into work about 5:30 each morning and picking up Brae around 3:30-4 for "man time." The band is also doing really well. They have huge upcoming gigs at Hawthorne Theatre and the Crystal Ballroom.

Britney: And me! I'm doing well. Work is staying busy, but not stressful. I feel very fortunate to have a job that provides me great flexibility and the people I work with are amazing. God is also doing a great work in my life in the department of SURRENDERING. Surrendering my wants, desires, goals to what HE wants for my life. It's a daily battle. But we've been blessed with so many things, it's time to just focus on those.

"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day." Habakkuk 2:3.
