baby i'm home

home again, just for a bit.  it feels refreshing, as it usually does.

i don't know if i've mentioned this yet but my parents are foster parents.  so in the house is sweet little julia*, the sweetest little four month old child i've ever seen.  i basically haven't stopped holding her since i got through the door.  i held her in the living room, i held her in the backseat of the car (parked), i held her in k-mart, i held her in the parking lot, i held her from the car back to the house into the kitchen into my room until she was in the crib sleeping again.

i tell ya, there's nothing like a good six hours with a child to let you know you're not ready to have one. i look forward to one day having a little four month old of my own, no doubt, but not in any four months in the near future.  i think i'll be content working the nursery a little more often at church.
