Dear Jordan,
This weekend was completely exhausting but totally worth it! We drove to Texas to visit your great-grandparents and then we spent most of the day Saturday with our friends. These are friends who we've known for many years. They are the kind of friends who will be our friends forever. We all got married at the same time, lived in an apartment complex together, went to church together, and even though we are scattering (and we're the only ones left in Norman!), we still love to be together. Now, the best part of it all is that we are all having kids! We now have the tradition of taking the "kid picture". It keeps getting bigger and bigger and so do you kids!
Speaking of getting bigger, you need to stop growing up so fast! I am cherishing this time because I know that I will blink and you will be too big to snuggle in my lap or just follow me around saying "mama". I am so thankful that the Lord has given me the wisdom to slow down. Frankly, I don't get things done very often! I'm slow to get checks to the bank and the laundry is not always finished. But, I never regret taking you to the library to play or sitting in the chair and watching Sesame Street with you. You are a joy and an answer to prayer and I am determined not to let you grow up without my savoring your childhood.
You are so cute! You make all kinds of people smile because you are so friendly. You don't talk a lot, but you can certainly communicate. And one thing is for sure...you are persistent! You never quit! Today at the library you really wanted to play with the computers. I probably pulled you off of them ten times. You never got mad, you just kept at it. I try not to get mad or frustrated, because I know that someday God will use your persistent personality. I pray all of the time for you to become His child because you are so special.
I am so looking forward to you getting a sister pretty soon! I know you two will grow up being great friends. I know it's going to seem like you are neglected, but it will be worth it. I will have to really make time for our snuggles and hopefully your sister won't be quite as high-maintenance as you were when you were a baby!
Alright, I need to wake you up from your nap (crazy Mom!) because we have to go. I'm taking you to your friend Henry's house for a bit so I can go to the Eden Clinic. I am so thankful that you are flexible and you let me go. It fills me up to be there and I love getting to help women. You are an important part of my ministry just by letting me be there.
I love you little man.
