Daddy Days!

I didn't get around to posting on Father's Day, so I thought I would take the time to acknowledge all that Daddy does for Mason. Mason gets to spend 2 full days a week with Daddy, because he has Monday & Tuesday off. Therefore, Mondays and Tuesdays are now known as Daddy Days around our house. They have a great time together and Daddy hasn't been afraid of jumping right in and changing diapers, bathing, feeding and playing. Thank you for being such a good Daddy and husband.

Mason's switch is pretty much in the "ON" position when he is awake. He is a busy little guy, very curious, a quick learner and does not have much fear. In the last few weeks he has learned to clap, wave bye-bye and give kisses. Last night he figured out how to stand up and walk around while holding on to one of his push toys. It won't be long until he is walking...which I am sure will soon become running! We absolutely eat up every single one of his kisses...even though they are pretty much open mouth! As soon as we get him up from his crib in the morning the kisses start! Oh, and he claps for himself after every kiss. He is such a fun little boy and we continue to be amazed by the blessing we have received.

A quick update on the Eagle's Nest and then on to pictures! 3 more of my blogger pals will soon be bringing home their little ones from the EN...Sarah, Braxton & Kendall. The Lord is moving mountains and uniting families. (See The Gross Family, Braxton's Family and The King Family under EN Families list in the sidebar). The future of adoptions still remains uncertain at this time. No new referrals have been made since the end of 2007....however, this doesn't mean that their are no longer children and families in need. The EN continues to need prayers, donations and the assistance of mission teams. If you feel it in your heart to pray, give a financial gift or your time please visit their website at http://www.eaglesnestint.org/ .
