Liam Mall


Liam was born on April 26th, 2006 at 10:51PM (not 10:15, like I told some of you).
He was 7 pounds and 5 ounces.

He is beautiful...

This picture above was taken yesterday (Thursday).

His name is Scottish and means strong. It's kind of like the last half of "WilLIAM."

So! It is absolutely wonderful. Julie is beautiful too, she went through the natural process...so no inducing or C-sections. Considering that, she hurts a little. Amer is okay too...he's a little anal, at least more that Julie is, but rightly so. They will be so good. Praise God for entrusting little Liam to them...and to our entire family!

He has pretty awesome hair that does it's own thing, dont you think? Hah, it doesn't stay down...but why would you want it to?

That is the bulk of it right now. Julie and baby are home today!

He is a miracle. That is amazing.

i cant believe how fast time goes by. the sad part is that i sit there and watch it pass. i hope i dont do that for the rest of my life. at the time it always seems like a good idea to do nothing, but at the end of the day, it feels like poo.

i really miss seeing some people. specifically - bethany jean morris. i think i want to spend an entire year with her at a beautiful park clad in pretty white dresses.

:)

beautiful weather is nice. sometimes i wish i lived in a more beautiful city though. is it bad to think like that? i get frustrated with the urban-ness of saginaw. it would be nice to live out in the middle of nowhere...st charles? kochville?

i dont know.

today i made kool-aid. i can't wait for summer. where i can spend days reading either inside or outside. i usually like reading inside though because i'm scared of bees. i have very valid reasons for being afraid of bees.

this is what i look forward to when i think about summer:

-summer thunderstorms (when its humid outside and terrible, but then it FINALLY rains and the rain is cold...and then after it rains, everything is completely washed and the weather is no longer yucky and sticky and humid...and then its sunny again!)
-reading in my house (my room) for hours where it is cold because the air-conditioning is on and then taking a break from reading and realizing how cold i am...THEN stepping outside for five minutes and getting hot and then having to come back inside.
-smoothies
-icecream
-seeing aruna
-playing with amer and julie's baby (in the park!)
-babysitting
-watching the little baby fall asleep, reading to him, feeding him...anything to do with him.
-staying outside until late hours because summer nights are so wonderful
-watching movies all day
-playing outside

i'm sorry this is so long. oooh!

-riding in cars with the windows down
-slurpees
-swimming (and then getting worn out because of swimming so then you get out of the pool to dry and get warm and the sun is hot and competely dries your hair and then you eat some good food and then you take a nap)
-getting up early to ride bikes
-yummy breakfasts and eating them outside
-lemonade
-going to see a movie during the day and getting really cold in the theatre and then coming back outside and the weather is so warm!
-giving hand-picked flowers to people i love
-painting watercolors outside
-rain
-music

okay. i think i'm done. i so look forward to those things. i'm sorry if you had to read all of that.
there are other things of course...like graduation parties and weddings that will be fun...i dont like thinking about graduation just yet though.

anyhow. have an amazing friday.

i will see most of you on sunday:)

...yea

So, it's Easter. I'm up and have been up all night...I can't really sleep because I've slept too much in the past two days. I've been thinking about things, though.

I don't get it sometimes.

Um. I'm in love with vacations.

In the fall of 2006, I will be attending Michigan State University.

Yes...I will be with Sweet Pea:)

I discovered MySpace this past weekend. There is a huge world I never even knew about! Lot's of people have MySpace's...well, I was surprised. Anyhow.

I think this year...along with every other year, I have lost the meaning of Easter and the importance of it. I'm ashamed...but isn't it wonderful that we dont have to be ashamed, and that we can just drop everything and run back to Him?

I'm so...confused right now.
