Double Digits!

Titus is ten months old! He is into everything and is beginning to use all of our furniture to take those first tentative steps. His personality continues to come out and he is all rough and tumble boy! He is banging his toys, squealing when we tickle him, and dunking his head under the faucet for bath time. What a joy!

It has been a precious time as we prepare for Christmas and celebrating the birth of our Savior certainly has renewed meaning this year. Joel and I were both talking about how having Titus has shed new light on what God did for us through His Son. We both cannot fathom how God felt when Christ died, as we cannot imagine sacrificing our own son. When I hear "The Little Drummer Boy" and it comes to the part, "...then He smiled at me, parumpapapum..." I get a little teary because I think of all of the times Titus has smiled at me and how Jesus smiled at so many, first as a baby and then as a man, our Savior. His Grace is amazing and so enduring. We only pray that Titus will have a heart for Him and enjoy His company as he continues to grow.

It has been freezing up here, so Titus is all bundled up for our daily walk.

Loving the refreshing, cold air!
