why?

I've been thinking about adding another blog for a while. Well, about ever since I found out I was (surprise!) pregnant with our first child.

Once or twice, I've posted parenting-oriented topics on GODWOTTERY, and the storm of replies indicated that it might be better to put all my mommy-thoughts into one place: someplace else!

So I'm going to see if I can make this work.

Care to join me?

THE CHARACTERS...

THE HUBBY...
... is a pastor.

Born and raised in Romania, Marius is a family-lovin' European-American with a fantastic blend of old-world charm and new-world enthusiasm. (He won MY heart, anyway.)

Currently the senior pastor of two growing churches in the Greater Atlanta area, Marius is my favorite preacher. He's also gifted in teaching, listening, counseling, and affirmation.

He has a killer sense of style, a great eye for detail, fabulous taste in gifts, and a generous spirit. He loves our Little Man to distraction, too.

Most of all, he's that kind of guy who has the integrity to stand firm in what he believes no matter how people try to change his mind or intimidate his convictions.

And he always makes me laugh.

And when you add in that he started sleeping through the night at 7 weeks on his own, and that his days are usually filled with infectious grins and sleepy smiles - the case is closed. It's official - he steals everybody's hearts.

His favorite spot to nap is right on my chest, drooling all over me while I blog, little cherub lips parted in sweet baby breaths.

Sometimes I wonder what kind of man he will become. We don't care what it is, as long as he has a missionary's heart.
