A Special Day

So, here is some random info for everyone about our lives right now:

- I failed on my first blogger new years resolution, but at least I have 11 more months to do better.

- Today marks Fields' 6 month birthday! We are shocked at how fast the time has gone...amazing. He is growing up - weighs in at almost 18 pounds and has a lot of hair that sticks up everywhere!

- All three of us have been battling a nasty cold. It started with Fields, then Deborah, and now I am bringing up the rear. I am at home right now instead of work because of it.

- This month at Wesley is called FUNBRUARY or FUN FEBRUARY. We had noticed in the past that February was always a difficult month for a lot of our interns and students - no real holidays, cold, dreary, lots of sickness, etc. So, last year we declared that February was going to be FUN! We had such a great response from it, that it has become a permanent feature to our intern year. Today, the whole staff went to see the groundhog wake up at the Athens Zoo! Throughout the month, we will have raffles, contests, random games and prizes, and themes for our interns to enjoy. I will send some pictures later in the month of some of the things that we have come up with!

- Deborah continues to be the incredible wife, mother, counselor, Wesley Director, friend, and powerhouse that she has always been! Juggling Fields and me is tough enough, but when you add in two part time jobs as well, it is crazy for her! She counsels on Mondays and Wednesdays, Disciples Wesley girls on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and we usually meet for some pre-marital sessions with Wesley folks on Fridays. Busy, Busy, Busy...

- I am counting down till August - four more classes, and then I am a graduate of Asbury!

The end is in sight! Colds with a baby are really no fun. Hope y'all recover soon.
