Hanes Sweet Home: August 2009

Please Pray

I am seeking your prayers for a friend of mine & his wife. I found out last night that their baby boy, Ayden, who would be 4 months old tomorrow, passed away yesterday. I cannot even imagine the pain they are going through right now – it has to be unspeakable. Here is their blog if you want to find out a little more, http://thejonesfamily52009.blogspot.com/.

Hugging my sweet boy a little tighter today.

The boy loves to EAT!

I'm not sure if I've emphasized enough just how much Jeremiah likes to eat. He LOVES to eat! Just this weekend he ate 2 entire slices of pizza for supper. How can one little boy eat as much as an adult?? He is especially fond of fruit. Watermelon & cantaloupe have been his favorite from the garden this year. He even likes lemons...

What can I say, he definitely comes by it honestly.

Like the good ol' days...

Yesterday Josh had Jury Duty - what fun to participate in the legal process. Slightly sarcastic there, but he did end up enjoying it because the case was sort of related to his field of work. He was seated on a jury and done by about 1:30, so it wasn't too bad. He then had the rest of the day off, so after lunch downtown, he & Little J came home to nap, while Brenda & I went to Jo-Ann's to look at some more quilt fabric (which by the way - I'm so excited about this quilt!!!). After I got home & they woke up from their naps, Josh said he wished we had gone to Concord Mills to the new LEGO store. I said, "Let's go!". So Jeremiah headed to Nana & Popa's to spend the night so we could have some time to ourselves without worry about feeding him dinner, entertaining in the restaurant, crying in the car, late bedtimes, and all the other not-so-fun moments that toddlers bring. We even met up with our friends Lauren & Daniel for dinner. We hadn't seen them in almost a year, so it was great to catch up! What a fun, spontaneous evening we had! It was just like the good ol' days before we had Jeremiah. Not that these days aren't good, they are just the good new days. :)

What have we been up to lately?

Josh told me I need to update the blog. He's right, I do. Hopefully I'll get back into my blogging routine soon. Until then, here's a quick recap at what other things I've been busy doing, like...

celebrating a first birthday...
