He's gone again

So Tatum is back at my parent's house for week 2. My dad will bring him home to us on Saturday afternoon so I am going to try to embrace my freedom and not think about his absence so much. He is having a blast and really couldn't care less that he is not with us. He loved the Bible school video so much that my mom borrowed it from the church and when she showed him, he was ready for me to leave so he could watch it. Why is this stuff so much harder on the parents than the kid?!? It's all good though. Mike and I enjoyed a mid-week date last week and I have to admit it was quite nice. We are planning another date this week to take full advantage of this time apart.

I haven't written in a couple days so I have a few thoughts to share so on a different note, I was blessed to be able to visit my friend Andreja after she gave birth to her beautiful baby girl, Emma Grace. I have to admit that seeing and holding a 1 day old baby is just magical! It was just beautiful to watch Andreja and Emma bond. I loved every second of it! I always seem to pretend that I am indifferent regarding these precious moments because I had forgotten the beauty of being a new mother and a new life in our world, but I was very touched. I am so happy for Andreja and her husband, Chris.

We also played a little Wii this weekend. Tatum really likes it and it's so funny to watch him play. There is absolutely no skill involved so it's just random movements - and he does well. It just goes to show that we all just need to relax a little more and be a little more child-like!

Nothing much else is going on these days. I'm back to studying. My first test is Thursday and then another on Saturday. I have a break until the end of the month and then the final test is at the end of August. Please continue praying and I will continue studying.
