June 23, 1997 – journal entry
Douglas is five months old, today!
He rolls over from tummy to back, makes lots of loud noises, and sits up with a little help. He is growing SO fast! He’ll be one of those babies who walks at 9 months. He and Sarah make noises together and laugh at one another. It melts my heart. Sarah still loves to kiss and hug him. Douglas reaches for everything! I love to watch him develop.
Sarah can say cracker and juice, now!!! It’s almost like overnight, she started talking! I love to hear the cute things (jabber) she says. When I tell her to go get in her chair, she goes right to the high chair – she says “Mama” in such a sweet little voice.
Phillip went to look for a house, this evening. It has a place for a garden in the back!
I don’t know if it will be big enough but God knows where we will be, I’m leaving it up to Him.
As my now grown children have their own, I am blessed to relive their childhood as I listen, encourage, and journey alongside them, these days. There are truly no earthly words adequate to describe God’s handiwork in the tapestry of our lives.
“. . . he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.” Titus3:5
