Babies

It is hard to describe the complete joy I feel when I look into my baby's eyes. What an honor and a privilege it is to have him look up at me in total trust. He is changing so fast and I love each and every new milestone, but I also feel sad because this amazing time is passing.

Waiting these past 11 years makes the feelings I have about the miracle of his new life so intense. I wish I could bottle up these powerful emotions and give them out to the world and save them for later. I wish I had written about his every move so I could go back later and relive this wonderful time in my life.

Today he wanted to jump up and down as I was holding him and he was smiling and laughing at everyone when we were at science group. He is a very good baby. He mostly just whimpers when he needs something. He is starting to laugh when we tickle him and even when he sees us--just little burst of joy. Most of the time he takes two naps a day now--thank goodness. I love having him with me, but he needs his rest to grow.

I love having Tyler home too. He said a few weeks ago, "How can one person love another so much?" I am so happy he can experience this kind of love for another person. He is so smart and so so so interested in inventing a new way of personal flight. He thinks about it all of the time and often feels sad that he cannot invent it right now.

I just had to buy a new printer for my business. I had my Epson 9600 for about 3-4 years. Unfortunately, it had a power surge from the computer and the mother board was ruined. My new Canon 8100 is HUGE compared to the Epson. Why does it have to be so large? We couldn't even get it through our office door. Luckily, we have a basement to put it in.

I feel really blessed to still be selling clocks. With the purchase of this new printer, I keep trying to come up with new ideas so I can pay for it!!
