5.on.the.fly

Tom and I had to spend our first nights away from Paige this week. We had to be down at the beach Thursday night through Saturday morning at staff camp for our church. It was a good time but we missed Paige terribly. Grandmom and Grandad were gracious enough to bring her out to us for a few hours during some free time on Friday. We went out to lunch, then took her up to our hotel room and took a nap and played. I think my missing her was worse after they left. We were glad to get home to her on Saturday and smother her with kisses.

I loaded a few pix of Paige doing mostly new things from the last few weeks: in the big girl tub for a bath, playing with her toes, and hangin' out in her Exersaucer. The others are of things she has been doing for awhile, but they were too cute not to include. Enjoy!

Life before Paige was great and blessed, but how much better everything is with her here! She is growing so fast and doing new things every day and I am so amazed by the miracle God has given us. My prayer is that God will give Tom and I the wisdom, strength, and patience (among other things) to raise her up to love and serve Him, and to serve the body of Christ. I wonder what gifts and abilities He has put in her, and I can't wait to see the neat things she will do for the Kingdom in her own special way. I also pray that God is raising up a spouse for her for the day that will probably come too soon - a godly man, one who will cherish and respect and love her the way that God loves all His children.
