Life with the Maxies: 06/08/13

I remember thinking on December 8, 2012 “My son will be 6 months in June. That is forever away.” However, those 6 months have flown by and our big boy turned 6 months old today! Kolt is definitely one happy, energetic and smart boy. Right now, he is in a squealing phase. He usually wakes up squealing and does it until he goes to sleep. He is very verbal, like “yelling” at us when we are not looking at him or at his toys while he plays. He is a MESS and is always on the go! Kolt is very close to crawling but just can’t quite put it all together. Along with crawling he is trying to sit up and pull up all at the same time which usually results in a flop on the floor! However, he is all over the living room! He constantly has us cracking up or saying “watch him do that!”

We had a fun yet crazy month winding down the school year. During the last couple of weeks of school Kyle developed his infection in his arm which led to him being VERY sick. This also led to Kolt’s first night away from home. He stayed at Kyle’s parent’s house in order for me to be able to take care of Kyle during the night. One thing Kyle remembers from that night is me crying saying “I miss Kolt man!” but we all made and it was for the best! Thankfully, God has healed him and we are well. Kolt got to go to his first crawfish boil and he had a blast; lying in the hammock, eating ice cream, drinking sweet tea, playing in the sand and creek, and getting a bath in the camper sink.

Thankfully, we have been able to actually have some relaxing family time. I didn’t know what it felt like to have my husband coming home around 3:45 every day or being able to spend all day with us! I can definitely say we are all getting a little spoiled! Kolt and I love having “dada” home with us during the day!

More of our prayers have been answered during the past few weeks. Kyle will be returning to PCS next year and the Forrest County School Board will be voting on me to become a Kindergarten teacher at Earl Travillion Attendance Center in the fall. Hopefully I will be getting a phone call within the next few days with great news! This week we start Vacation Bible School at First Hattiesburg and I will be doing four year old missions. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for all of us this week. Also, we are excited to say that Kolt will have his baby dedication on June 23 at First Hattiesburg. We look forward to celebrating this blessed event with our family and friends!

Even though it is the summer, we still have a pretty full schedule with Kyle’s football, our church Growth Group, my workshops and hopefully getting things ready for the next school year! We look forward to a fun-filled summer together!
