So this last Tuesday, Jon and I celebrated our three year anniversary. He made reservations at a local bed and breakfast and dinner reservations at their restaurant (which is known for their bakery and has two sandwich places in town too. Their restaurant is a bit nicer though). Well we checked in, Jon left for work and I went home to pack an overnight bag for us and George. Then George and I hung out at the Inn and waited for Jon. It was very nice and we got George ready for dinner (dressed him up too) and got a bottle ready, just in case he got hungry too. We had a nice time and a nice breakfast in the morning too. We all have taken turns having a cold this week too.
A little about George: he's smiling more and trying to mimic basic sounds. He's also awake and alert more. He's good at tracking movement, as well. He's on the verge of baby laughter and is interacting more. He definitely does not like dirty diapers but loves bath time. We take occasional family baths and he likes floating, kicking, moving his head and trying to flip over (but he doesn't like drinking the water). His legs are getting strong and so is his back, his neck is just a little further behind- but his neck is still strong. With how big and strong and alert he is, we wonder if they had his due date wrong.
Spiritual thought: I went to our married student institute class this week (it was cold and George was still pretty congested, so we're limiting taking him out). They were talking about self-reliance. One person brought up the almost oxymoron that the church wants us to be self-reliant which depends on relying on Christ. They mentioned a few categories, including, health, education, career, social, emotional and spiritual well being. These are things we can focus on to become more self-reliant. They should also be priorities. So with last week's thoughts, I want to make sure I'm focusing on education, my health (so I can keep going and have energy for everything), make sure I stay emotionally and spiritually healthy as well as take care of my family. I have a few priorities set, but I really liked the lesson. (It was from an institute manual... I can't remember which one, but on eternal marriage or families).
And now, of course, some pictures. :)
