Ive been lacking in topics to blog about. I know this is mostly for my relatives and friends who dont live near us, to look at pictures of Forest...but ive gotta throw other things into the mix every once in a while.

We've been busy. Busy in a great way, not in the annoying way.

Im not interested in pointless"busy". Boring "busy". Pretend "busy". Or what i like to call "goodie goodie busy". Definition: Churchy activities. Running around like a nut and justifying it because its for the benefit of others, or because it has to do with church. Not even necessarily God, but mostly just church.

Ya, that one really bugs me. Sorry, im a hater, i guess.

Im mostly interested in the "important busy". Spending my time on things that matter to me.
Somtimes this cant always happen. But mostly, if i prioritize, it can and it does happen.

In my humble opinion, we would probably learn more about God by opting out of the multiple bible studies during the week. Probably share in life with others more, if we opt out of the organized "do good" functions. Probably learn more about our children by opting out of the numerous varieties of parenting functions, in which your children are dropped off at the nursery the entire time while you are supposed to be "learning" about them....etc....you get my point.

I really have no conclusion to that. My point was just supposed to be that ive been busy, but in a good way.

And so here are some pictures of what the boy has been up to lately. I just organized my pictures from my camera recently, and i have no idea how to find them now...so i dont have many to share this time!

First snow at an old enough age to enjoy it!

Loving it!

Hates walking in it! And there was still so much more
falling throughout the day!

Inside the old truck at the exploritorium!
(his new pose for the camera)

Saying hi to the fish

Observing the fish

The huge deck at the explortorium
on his way to visit with the animals
(he wishes it were ours)

Spent many days very sick. (as you can see, i was going crazy)

And recovered!

He's also been preparing himself for his future baby brother.
We have a drawer in his bedroom dresser that is filled with his old baby clothes, shoes, blankets, etc. He likes to open it up and take a look, and we talk about how its being saved for when his baby brother arrives. He takes it pretty seriously so far. haha.
