Growing up with Zachary. Yes, not 'watching Zachary grow' but growing with him. It starts for parents the day we realise that WE ARE! It's easier to watch Zachary grow than grow with him. For the most part, I think he needs the growing, not me *wink* But God has taught me in so many ways, that I need Zachary as much as he needs me. And through Zachary, God has shown me His heart in a deeper way.
Growing Joys, not Pains.
How often have I complained of the frustration when he's not co-operative (too much to expect of a 9-month old huh?) and when he's not like this, nor that, .... but I have often been the same to the Father. Too much to expect of a 31-year old? :-D

So true, Mich! So many times K and I have thought about how we must grieve and try God, just as our kids try us at times.
Btw, I checked out Kevin's blog too, and I LOVE your kitchen. So big, with the very cool window. I'm very jealous!
And oh yah, I had a dream some time ago that she was expecting no. 2. This was before she was actually pregnant, and I emailed her to ask, so when she found out, she emailed me to tell me! What about you? Anything to tell me?? :)
PS, I also saw the picture of Zach at 8 months - he's so incredibly cute! Such a lovely smile. He's grown so much since I last saw him, before you know it, he'll be one!
