Little Guy

Can I let you in on a little secret? You may or may not know this but, having a child, a new addition in you life such as this, blesses your life, in more ways than one might realize.


One of us is growing and getting older by the week, can you tell which one?
If I could share something with you that is on my heart right now: Micaiah is the second best thing to come along in my life. Dianna of course is the first but that's because she was in my life before Micaiah. We really do have a great relationship; the three of us. Micaiah's Mommy is the best I know both as a mom and a wife. I try to be a good dad, but you'd have to ask Dianna about that.


The Lord is so good. He has been with us for so long. Taken care of us in our time of need and though the answers to our prays may almost seem unoticed they are still answered prayers.



Our summer has been a busy one, and we only took one vacation. Our drive to New Hampshire was great. Micaiah did really well in the car and seeing Brooke and attending her wedding was so great. New Hampshire was beautiful. We took a drive through the mountains and just soaked in the scenic view with ou eyes. I must admit that our trip North blessed our marriage. I can't really explain how, maybe just because we were together all day every day. But whatever it did, it was for the better. Poor Micaiah though, he was sick the whole time on the trip. The town where we stayed is planted right in the valley of the White Mountains. And even though it lightly rained most of the time and the clouds were setting low, the surroundings were still something to see.
We took a lot of pictures and made the most of our time in New Hampshire.


Dianna and Micaiah climbed to the top of this waterfall and I went to the lower part, stepped from rock to rock across the water and began climbing this 10 foot ledge. I made my way to the top and saw a great picture, so I captured it with the camera sitting on the ledge.

I have a lot more pictures that I would like to show you, but Dianna says that I try to type too much at once and that I don't have to tell a really long story every time. So, this will be it for today and I really hope to get back to it tomorrow and put more pictures up.
Thank you for your time.
Until then...God Bless

Hey Buddy! Glad to see your update. Your photos are amazing! You give such great perspective to everyday things. You are gifted.

Glad you're doing well. It was wonderful to have you home for a week. I'm looking forward to seeing you next month!

You and your little family are an answer to prayer. From the time you were the "little guy" until now, God has been faithful.

Can't wait to see what happens next...

Love you most,
Mommy

You updated, and I missed it. Sorry. Beautifull pictures. Is Micaiah ever getting growing. He looks pretty happy there, sitting with Daddy.
I love the mountains too. If I couldn't live by the water like we do, I would live in the mountains.
It was good talking to you this week. Love DAD.

Like Randall, I missed your update as well. I haven't checked in a while.
It was so great to see pictures and hear about your news. Don't listen to Dianna :P write as much as you want... we love your long stories. Really. You remind us that God IS good and we're glad that He is blessing your marriage and little Micaiah (is he ever growing!).
Take care Jordan. Love from Tante Karen and Uncle Marten, Nicolle and Jason
