One half down

Our little Maddy Bug is 6 months old today! I can't believe she is that old and that she has been in our lives for 6 whole months. I brought her up to school this morning to say hi to her favorite babysitter, my co-workers Jessie and Marci, since my mom bumped them out of a job for tonight. Maddy is now sitting, eating, squealing, laughing, and jabbering. Last night we all went to another co-worker's (Brandi's) house for the OU/Florida game and Maddy just sat in my lap and gave her own commentary of the game.

Her other new facination is remote controls and cell phones....just like her daddy. At first we were giving her ours to play with, but after the copious amounts of saliva that accumulates on every inch she can fit in her mouth, we decided older versions were best for her ammusement. So now she has her very own cell phone and remote control that we don't use anymore.

This month has also brought on a strong desire for some serious change next year. As many of you know, I came into my position this year knowing that it would most likely be over in June at the end of the school year. Being home for two weeks was wonderful, but it left me wanting to be home with Maddy even more. If you're reading this, you are a friend, so please be in prayer as I seek to find answers from the Lord if I should pursue another full time position somewhere else or pursue staying home with Maddy. I love my job and since I can't stay at Sunshine next year (most likely) there's really only one other job I would love even more...being Mommy full time. This really has come as a complete shock to me since I never really saw myself as a woman that would stay home versus helping support my family and trusting her in the hands of loving people during the day. Thank you for your prayers. I'll post some more big girl six month pictures later.
