6 months and growing

Today was Andrew's 6 month check up (he is actually 6 and 1/2 months) and he is a healthy 18 lbs and doing great! We have been so blessed that he has not been sick once since he came to us. He is such a joy and blessing in our lives and I cannot imagine a world with out him. Time has flown by so fast!
I am enjoying my job at Carrabba's. It works great with Paul's working schedule where when he gets off he can take Andrew then we chat for a few minutes then I am off to work. Paul and I do miss each other though but we try and keep in touch with a phone call or text. Its a sacrifice right now till things get better at his work and the economy improves. The important thing is that we are now saving money for that rainy day and Andrew's future (and future siblings).
We feel so blessed at this time even though we are not where we thought we would be. One thing we have learned over the past few years with our move here to Texas and Andrew coming 7 weeks early and Paul's work is that things never happen on your time line. Things happen on the Lords time and we might not see why at the time but as they always say, hindsight is 20/20. This is so true for us looking back. We have nothing to complain about, we have everything! A healthy strong baby boy, our ever growing love for each other, a loving family and friends and our faith in God and our Savior Jesus Christ.
We are also so excited for Paul's mom, Linda and brother Morgan to come visit next month. Hopefully my work schedule will allow room for us to plan some fun outings with them. This will be Morgans first time meeting Andrew and it will be fun seeing them together. Cant wait!
