This is How I Roll!

Today was the perfect family day! Jack 'slept in' until 7:30, ate, and fell asleep again for a while. He woke up a little later & played while I made breakfast. After that we woke up Daddy & got ready for the day. We ended up running some errands, then grabbing sandwiches & going to the Botanic Gardens. We ate our lunch & walked around enjoying the perfect weather. After that we decided to make use of our zoo passes & stop by for an hour or so. Last time we went to the MOLA & Texas Wild areas, so this time we headed for the primates, elephants, giraffes, etc. Jack was more alert this time & actually looked at the animals. :) We stopped by John's parents house to water their plants & check on the pool (they're traveling around Australia & New Zealand right now!) then headed home. Jack spent the evening on his blanket & rolled over 3 times in a row (back to front). So exciting! We'd been waiting for him to make it all the way over for a while now & my mom told us he did it Thursday while we were at work, but it was even cooler to see it first hand. Way to go, Baby Jack! We love you so much. Here are some random pics since we didn't take any zoo or garden pics today. Check out the rolls on those thighs!

Right before he rolled over for us!

Lunch with Daddy & friends on Friday.

5 months old

Today Baby Jack is 5 months old! And for his birthday he got...a tooth! Poor guy. His bottom middle/right tooth emerged yesterday & I think it finally broke through today. It's been a rough couple of days with a bit of a fever, lots of crying, a runny nose, and some 'impressive' diapers. Today he was so tired, but couldn't fall asleep for a nap. I finally ended up putting him in the ergo carrier while I cleaned out my closet, sorted laundry, & rearranged our bedroom. He slept on me for about 45 minutes while I did all that. Today was a lot better than yesterday, so hopefully tomorrow will be even better...

Happy Birthday to ME!

My birthday was on Monday & I got 2 birthday cakes, a dozen pink roses, and 4 days off with my 2 favorite boys! :)

Verses from Philippians

1:21: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
2:1-11: If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:14-15: Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.
3:7-8: But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
3:12-14:Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
