yesterday... today... and forever

We begin with Boone's first visit to meet his Pediatrician. After a productive two days I must give my main little man props... weighing in at 5 pounds 14 ounces with a length of 19' 3/4 he continued to turn heads. Despite entering this world 7.5 weeks early he is on point and remaining healthy. We are thankful once again. Do work Boone... Do work!

As the day continued we had our first lunch out and about as a family. It was a peaceful one. We all left the Medical Center with full tummies. Unfortunately, Boone was the only one suited up for a nap. After a quiet ride back home we continued to nestle into our new routine. Then it struck me... It's moments like these that you pause... look around... and be still. A season of life that makes you say "Wow!". God, why are you so good to me? You are so faithful... You are so true. Then I was reminded of two passages:


Romans 8:28
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."


Philippians 4:6 
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."


These two verses resounded in my head the weeks prior to Boone's arrival and with him here safe at home they still ring true. Our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.


Hebrews 13:8
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever"


With these thoughts I rested and got that nap I was slightly jealous of :) 
Soon after waking I was able to enjoy some time behind the lens... .

Then Mel had a little fun... my Boone "One eye open, pucker lip, sad face".

After a little afternoon fun we welcomed Aunt Trish, Uncle Bradd and cousins McKenna and Ayden. Their home north of Houston has been a place of good times and great conversation offering Mel and I a taste of home away from home. We were thankful and excited to invite them over to see Boone. The hang out time started with Aunt Trish showing the kids the ropes and Ayden quickly jumping in to show us how it is done...

After a few hours of Boone love and conversation we made our way to a local pizza joint to enjoy some of our favorite hot pie. So glad they all could make it out. Looking forward to many summer days poolside and dancing the night away... Wii style!

Well, today was a great day. Looking forward to the weekend when we have some more family arriving to visit with the Boonster. With that said, off to change a diaper... or 2. Adios!
