New Target Friend

First of all, let me apologize for not keeping up with this blog very well :(  I will try much harder in the future - I promise!

I took Malachi to Target this morning.  We were in search of some toddler bedding and a pillow for the big boy!  Malachi is generally very friendly and will speak to almost anyone who looks at him (and some who do not).  I was pushing the cart down the main aisle near the bedding section when Malachi began talking to an older gentleman as he walked past us.  He told him a "story" about riding a horse and falling down and bumping his head (I have no idea where this came from).  This man was so taken with Malachi - he stood in the aisle for a good 5 minutes and interacted with Malachi like he was his grandchild.  It was too sweet.  He shook Malachi's hand and even rubbed his back - telling Malachi that he was such a good little boy, a blessing even!  He introduced himself as Daryl.  We finally said our goodbyes.  A few minutes later, Malachi said "Where's Uncle Daryl?"  I just had to laugh -- and a little while later we ran into Daryl again.  This time he had his wife with him.  Daryl introduced Malachi to his wife - saying "This is the little boy I was telling you about.  Isn't he just precious?"  Malachi thought that Daryl's wife (her name is escaping me) looked like Nana :)  

Busy, busy bees...

I'm sorry that I haven't posted yet. Things have been so busy around here! As most of you know, we're buying a house. I'm trying to get a headstart on the packing - what a job! So far we've packed up everything in the kitchen but what we'll need for the next 2 weeks. I've taken down all the pictures and also packed some books and decorative items. Luckily, our apartment managers have scheduled a community yard sale this Saturday. So we're weeding out items as we're packing :)

Malachi attended a birthday party yesterday. It was for a co-worker of mine's child who is a month older than Malachi. He had a really good time - even chased a puppy! I'm so excited that we'll get to have his party at our own house this year. The LORD is good!!!

Please patient with me as I will probably not post that much over the next few weeks. Once we get settled, I'll be sure to post pictures of the new house! Love to everyone :)

Here we go...
