[1] We are really enjoying our new home. Every day I unpack a little bit more and yesterday I even hung a few things on the walls. I’ve been trying to unpack our books but I cannot seem to find the little pegs that hold up each shelf. I think we put them in a ziplock bag, but where that little bag is remains a mystery. Tyler had a cough for a couple of weeks, but it is almost all better. Bobby and I have been noticing the changes we see in him as he grows. He is four months now and we love how he can play with toys and roll over. I think one of our favorite things might be how he seems to have so much to say these days. It just sounds like “goo aye ah ag oo” but we love it!

My sister Monica bought him a tiny little stuffed animal white shark and he actually really likes it. When Bobby’s mom was here yesterday she would make it “swim” towards him and then tickle him with it, which had him squealing. Of course I found this very amusing because I find sharks to be one of the most disturbing creatures! (I think I’ve seen ‘Jaws’ too many times).

It has been really nice to be so close to Bobby’s office. The drive is just about five minutes from home to work, so Bobby comes home for lunch sometimes and doesn’t get stuck in traffic in the evening. He’s enjoying his new job here at Compass and I’m always encouraged by his faithfulness in writing. You can read all his blogs by going to [3] Godsongmusic.

Today I was thinking about a little message from Pastor Mike that I read in our bulletin on Sunday. He wrote about boldness and how we are too timid in our faith. I usually think of this discussion along the lines of evangelism because it seems that we are often shy about sharing the Gospel with others. But I think we could probably stand to be bolder as we speak the truth to one another. 2 Timothy 1:7 says
