Fun times! Noelle will be 1 year old on March 7th- almost there! Maddie is 4 1/2.. going on 8. :) Noelle's hair has grown quite a bit and she has really gotten big. She is 20lbs. She is in the 70th percentile on height and average on weight (American charts). Noelle is crawling all over the house, pulling up on everything (including us), and smiles and laughs a lot. She is fun! Maddie is doing awesome and is a great big sister. Maddie carries Noelle around under the arms which is pretty amazing due to Noelle's size. It looks like she is carrying a big baby doll and I think Maddie wants Noelle to be her baby doll. She is really good with her and plays with her a lot. They are really perfect together and are the delight of our hearts.
Noelle is eating table food, she likes pretty much any food. When you hold out your hands and ask her to come to you she smiles and crawls to you. That is such a rewarding thing.
Jamie is still working for Experian-Scorex in a project-management type role. I am still with Network General though my job is changing after doing the same thing for five years. I am starting a couple of new projects for the company which are new, sometimes intimidating, fairly risky, but are good learning experiences. I am seeking the Lord in prayer and in the Word constantly for help on this and have assurance he is with me and will help me in this as well. Once you learn to trust the Lord with your life and salvation the next step is to take him out of the church environment and involve him in all aspects of life, living, and working. Proverbs 3:5-6 says "Trust in the Lord at **ALL** times and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths." Seems like a pretty strong exhortation to involve him at all times and not lean on your own abilities, knowledge, and experience.
