Apologies to my avid readers. Things have just been non-stop here at the Rader household. On a positive note: I saw Joyce Meyers this past weekend at the 23rd Women's Convention in St. Louis Missouri. What a great time I had!! Came home a new woman ;) Creflo Dollar and Christine Cane were there as well. Has anyone ever heard of them? I hadn't before this weekend and from talking to several others, they haven't either. Anyways, they were incredible as well....... AND.......my baby is now 10 months old and he's doing so many awesome things...it makes me happy and sad all at once to see him grow and change as quickly as he does. Ever since I got him on Sunday (after not seeing him for 5 days) he hasn't let me go. It's pathetically adorable how he clings and screams when anyone (even Justin!) tries to take him away from his mommy....the downside to this? And YES...there is a downside: I just started a full time baby sitting job and Gabe hasn't taken to it very well yet. I'm watching an 18 month old from about 8:30-6:30, (Mon-Thurs) and also a five year old, after I pick her up from school mid-afternoon. This was my very first week and let me just say that I couldn't love doing it more, but boy oh boy am I exhausted! And poor Gabe doesn't like the other little boy. He screams when the little boy takes his toys away, and screams when I take care of the little boy, and screams when I put him down, and screams when I look at the little boy. Suffice it to say Gabe is jealous (and I find it sinfully delicious). All along I've complained about not having a cuddly baby and wawawa and poor poor pitiful me, poor poor poor pitiful me. NOW I've become permanantly attached at the hip to the beautiful baby I once yearned to hold (and desperately look for creative ways to put him down so he won't start screaming)*. Needless to say my arms are getting buff. SO....that's why I've been so crazy busy. I mean, if Gabe's not hanging off one of my extremites, the other baby's hitting him, hitting me, or hitting something. *Sigh* The world of little ones.
Well that about raps it up for me and I'll try to post a little more frequently...that is if I can ever pry myself away....(I just keep reminding myself...there's ALWAYS bedtime!!!)
*By the way...I love my new clingly bundle of joy...wouldn't change it for the world...you moms can understand, no?

I can't believe how much bigger he is now!!!!! fond memories...
I'm glad to hear good things about your family.
The babysitting sounds cool and eventful! When you saw Joyce Meyer was Darlene Zschech there? I know her and Joyce team up and I was wondering if she was there also.
heather,
Darlene Zschech will be with her at the next Women's Conference and also this month in Indianapolis...I'm SO tempted to go cause I've NEVER seen her before and I think it'd be an amzing experience!
It's been more than a month, girl! Where are you?
I know...new post coming soon....promise :)
Hey Jess,
I was excited to find your blog. Wow - I had no idea that you had a little boy. That's great! I really enjoyed reading and looking at the pictures. Hurray for you and your family :)
