Walking in Daddy's shoes

Here are some fun pictures of Wyatt. He's been so cute lately. Ornery (is that how you spell it?) as every but still cute. The last few days he's been sick. He was running a decently high fever 102.9 under his arm, and his nose has been constantly running and is really stuffy. Poor kid can't breath. These pictures are from before he got sick. Last Sunday to be exact.

Here he is drumming in Daddy's shoes.

Close up of the little feet in the big shoes.

Cheeser! I love this face! He's been loving putting on our shoes.

I went out before we went to church last week, and this is how he was sitting. Do you like his new shirt? I love it!

Another Shot.

And this will be the picture for his first album cover!

Little Drummer Boy!

Well I've posted before that our boy LOVES to drum. Aunt Katie and Uncle Matt got him a drum for Christmas, as you can see in this picture, but his favorite thing to drum with is either pens or pencils. Here are some pictures of him drumming away. The first few I was trying to take a picture in his cute outfit from Nana and Pop, but all he wanted to do was drum. You can see him throwing a fit in one of them, because I asked him to stop so I could take a picture. At least you can still see his cute outfit. Following is a video of him drumming while Daddy plays with the guitar and watching a new Shane and Shane music video. I love how he plays on different surfaces, and how he turns the seat to get different sounds.

Finally

I have been trying to upload this video and picture but every time I tried to upload this picture my internet connection would disconnect. So annoying!

Here is Wyatt after he ate the markers!

Here is a video of our boy doing two of his favorite things. Playing basketball and taking a bath. He's such a riot!

Life goes on!

Well, basketball may have ended for Chris, but our lives haven't really slowed down. Oh well, I guess that's life. Work's a little crazy, lots of changes and not enough hours in my week. We did enjoy a little family time on Valentine's day. We had a left over giftcard to Panera and Grandma Geshay sent Wyatt $20 to take us out. So he did. We went Panera Bread, yum! However Wyatt, who usually does great in public, did not take a nap. So Panera was not as enjoyable as it should have been. He would eat and wanted to do everything himself. Which does not work well with an 18mo old and a juice box and gogurt. We went to the bathroom twice for a punishement after repeated fits. We were only there about 20 minutes. Anyway, yesterday we helped our friends the Hibbards get some of their stuff moved to a storage unit, but before we got started, Laura and I took Aiden and Wyatt to McDonalds for some fun and runnin. We got back to their house and the boys were playing downstairs and being ominously quiet. We know how that goes. They had found markers and were having tons of fun, writing on the table the toys eachother and Wyatt enjoyed eating them. Thank goodness for Crayola washable non toxic markers. Here's a couple of pictures! Love you all!

I love the way they are looking at eachother in this picture!

The best smile that we could get from both of them.

Scared

I am about to become transparent with this blog. I have been a little scared of God lately. Wondering what He is doing with our lives. We have been struggling financially for the last few years and while God has provided, it still is VERY scary. I have found this fear creeping into other parts of my life to where I am feeling very scared about all that God is doing. I KNOW that He is a good God, I KNOW He is a loving God, I KNOW He is God. I am just not feeling that way right now. I know, its not about my emotions, that's just how I am feeling. BUT, I just read this blog by Perry and it spoke to my heart in a way much has not lately. My kid looks at me like this and I have messed up with him, so why do I have a hard time looking at God like this? My kid runs to me and squeezes me when I pick him up from the babysitter, so why do I have a hard time running to God? Hopefully, I stop running scared and start running to HIM.

Morris family photo shoot

While we were in NJ for Christmas the Morris family went and got family pictures taken. They have had a lot of additions since the last family pictures, so they thought it was time for more pictures. Here they are. All pictures are from Sears Portait studio. (we have the copyright)

More Sledding and....

Sunday we went to our friends the Butler's house for a Super Bowl Party. Go Giants! That is probably the only time I will ever write that, but I really didn't want the Pats to have a perfect season (Sorry Tanya I know how you love your pats, please still be my friend and read my blog ;) What a great game, regardless of who you were cheering for. We went over a bit early because Wyatt loved sledding so much and they have a hill in their back yard. He laughed and laughed and laughed, kept say "gen" meaning again. Chris would truck him back up the hill and down he would go. He even went by himself, what a big boy!

Here are some cute pictures too.

Then there was tonight. Wyatt was playing in his room quietly so I left him in there, playing with his bins on his changing table. Before I left I neglected to check the bins for things I wouldn't want him to get into. After about 5 to 10 minutes I asked Chris to go back and check on him, laughter soon followed. He found Wyatt sitting in the chair in his room, rubbing vasoline ALL over himself! He loved the slippery feeling.....even after I got him out of the chair he wouldn't stop rubbing his hands all over his legs and body. Squishing his hands together. A quick bath and good as new! Well, he is 18mos now, guess its time to really start getting into trouble :)

Notice how shiney he is....and how proud of himself he is. (click the pictures to enlarge the mess)

Look at this kid go!

Today was a first in Wyatt's life! He went "sledding" for the first time! I say "sledding" because we don't have a sled, but we made do. Enjoy. If you listen carefully you can hear him lauhing his head off.




Here's a couple of pictures of him playing in the snow. He loved it! I found some snow pants and some boots at Goodwill today. It was 50% off today. I actually got 2 pair of snow pants because they were in such good condition. One for this winter and hopefully one for next year!

Congratulations Pop!

Yesterday was also another momentous occasion, but I didn't want to take from either by posting them in the same day.

Chris' dad retired from being a policeman in NJ yesterday. He touched many lives and I am sure that he will continue to touch even more on his new journey. Hopefully now this will give Nana and Pop more time to come out to Indiana to visit Wyatt! Wyatt loves all the fun he has with Pop, horsey rides, wrestling, rides in the wagon or in a box. We love you Pop! Congratuations!

The Morris family (l to r) Chris, Nana, Jen, Tim and Pop!
