Off…

 

Did you ever feel just a little off? I kind of do today. So I am sipping on an IBC and listening to some Toby Mac while I blog. Heh, lots of feel good stuff.

Jenny and I are considering moving back up to Tennessee. We are not sure yet. Still have a bit of praying to do. It just seems to make the most sense right now… It feels a little scary though, the idea of just jumping out there on faith, WITH a baby…

I don’t know, that’s just more intimidating than the idea that I just have to look after my self, or me and Jenny. It is also really hard to leave my family again.

 

Either way this is not near as easy a decision as moving down here was. I want to make sure we make the right decision for all of us.

 

I have enjoyed my time with my family… I missed them a lot when they moved to Texas. I really keep pulling for them to move up to TN with us… but they must do what God leads them to as well.

 

But seriously wouldn’t you move for this little guy?

 

 

Anyway, a blessed day to all, and keep us in your prayers if you will.

What A Bird…

 

So Samuel Elijah was dedicated at church today. Of course, I have no pictures as I was involved… So what I do have is pictures of the WWII air show that I went to today.

Jenny and Sammy were both taking a nap so I went alone. That was a weird change of pace. I haven't really done anything alone but work, for a long time. Still I had fun. It has always been a dream of mine to fly in a WWII era plane. That was a dream I did NOT get to realize today, and probably wont ever given the price!

I still had a blast pouring over the planes. Absolutely beautiful. Now, as I do not have a wide angle lens yet I did the best I could….

 

This was my absolute favorite; an aircraft carrier based dive bomber.

 

 

 

 

 

Good bye!

A little bugged…

 

I’ve been working my tail off the rest of this week trying to get my sales high enough to have a nice pay check. There is only so much you can do though.

The baby has almost constant tummy troubles and so we are worried about him. Jenny and I are facing some big decisions and aren't positive as to the best option.

On top of all of that, my twitching has gotten worse the last couple of days. It had been so much better that I was feeling pretty good about it, now I do not know why it is picking up again.

It is ok, I know God is moving and at work in my life, and for that I am very grateful. Therefore, I will hold on with hope and anticipation to see the God of Glory show Himself strong once again.

The following were taken outside the Aquarium… I knew I had to take some pictures as soon as we pulled into the parking lot.

 

 

First Aquarium!

 

So we took Samuel Elijah to his first Aquarium. The Houston Aquarium is small, but it really wasn’t bad. Jenny and I had a lot of fun just being out as a family and doing something special. Funny enough, even though we didn’t do much, we were more than ready to go home when we got finished.

Sammy slept through all of the Aquarium, and most of the trip. He didn’t even wake up to eat. We were still happy we got to go, it was a really neat trip.

I can not wait until he is old enough to really get excited and learn about it. I love where he is at now and look forward to future stages too. It is a tall order being a Dad, or Mom, but I do look forward to trying my best.

 

Here are some pictures from the Aquarium trip.

Having Fun…

 

So I am excited about today because I get to take Jenny and Sammy to the Aquarium and there are penguins! For those who don’t know they are my favorite, I even wrote a children’s book on them when I was about twelve years old.

In the mood for fun I wanted to post some images I chose just for the fun. I hope you all enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

The top two are my favorite, but I just had a ton of fun with all of them, let me know what you think!

Busy!

 

Who thought having a baby would HAMPER your photography?!? I guess I should have expected it, and in all fairness I have been taking the pictures, just not processing them.

Well, as you probably guessed, things have been insanely busy. Work, the baby, and Jenny have kept me going.

It is simply amazing to look at him. Even wondering if he looks much like me, I am still so wrapped up in him. He is growing WAY to fast, but he is SO precious.

I’ll never forget coming in from work and watching my sisters fawning over him. I felt somewhat dejected at being gone all the time, like He would attach to everyone but me. Yet while they fawned he wiggled his way to where he could see me. Locked his eyes on mine and just stared, until even my sisters were aware he was ignoring them.

I almost cried. He loves me already… Lord only knows why. I could tell in that moment that if I just took care of him and his mom, he would always love me. Wow what a feeling.

Well enough of the new father blabbing… here are some pictures of my pride and joy.

 

The most beautiful baby ever!

Little Man, Big Week…

YAY!! My baby boy Samuel Elijah Zwakenberg was born 2/26/11 at 2:19 am, weighing 7 pounds 12 ounces and measuring 20 inches long.

Needless to say, he is perfect. It has been an insanely crazy week, and I believe we are STILL trying to figure out where we are, but one thing I do know, you can get lost just staring at him.

The following pictures are here because my computer is finally working and I have been threatened if I did not. These are a fairly good sample, but I haven't spent much time at all working with them.

 

We want to introduce to you our little Sammy Eli;
