Wintry Mix

Good afternoon everyone! Today in North Texas was our first "wintry mix" of the season. That is what the newscasters say when it snows, sleets, and rains all together. So Noah and I have stayed bundled up all morning just playing. I can't believe how much cuter kids look with a beanie on their head. Isn't it amazing? Of course, Noah won't really wear it indoors except a red one that i knitted myself. Yep! I KNITTED. Pretty cool huh? I learned Thanksgiving night from my mother in law's sister. I actually feel pretty accomplished.

Well, last night was a big night in the Spicer household. Noah finally walked!! He stood by himself and walked by himself---2 things he has yet to do. And it happened out of no where! We were just playing on the floor and all of a sudden he started doing it like he had always been doing it. Some think he might have been practicing in his crib at night. Hmmmm...........
Anyway, we're overjoyed and he gets SO excited when we cheer for him each time. That just makes him want to keep doing it.

It has now hit me that my baby is no longer a baby. He's such a little boy and that makes me a little sad. I know every parent goes through it, but it's so weird how time passes. I can remember bringing him home as if it was 6 months ago. But it was 15! Oh well. Only better times are ahead, I know.

Our friends Paul and Brooke Begin stayed with us this past weekend. They are making the trek from their home in VA out to Malibu, CA where Paul will start teaching at Pepperdine in January. We had such a blast with them and Noah ate Paul up like candy. It made me miss our "neighborhood" in Cali. I wonder if God will keep us in TX forever? Somehow I am pretty sure he won't. Brian's job has so many location possibilities that we are open to moving just about anywhere. I love our life here so much and wouldn't want a change just yet. However, God has always given Brian and I peace about Him putting us somewhere else---just like when we moved here.

Well, anyway, I'll write more again soon. I have lots of neat God stories. But my eyes are getting heavy, so now is not a good time. :)
