How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. - Annie Dillard

6 months



Luke 2:51 “Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”

These simple words written a few different times throughout Scripture about Mary mean so much to me these days.  Time is passing so fast and yet the days are full and busy and exhausting and often mundane.  But at the end of each day, I treasure them.  I treasure these days with Gram and Owen and I try each night to remember the day, to talk about it with Dustin and to treasure these moments with my two little boys.

Owen is 6 months old!  Where did the time go?  His first 6 months went by a lot faster than Gram's first 6 months.  My heart longs for a tiny newborn again, so small and new and snuggly.  My heart anticipates the future when Owen can run and jump and play with Gram...oh what a sight that will be!  Yet in the midst of all the change, my heart treasures the present with my sweet, smiley O-bear.  He is just so lovable and full of snuggles and smiles and laughs and overwhelming cuteness.  And let's not forget..determination!  He is strong and determined to catch up with Gram sooner rather than later.  Our pediatrician is totally amazed at how early he was sitting and with what strength and ease he is moving all around (even though he's the size of a 9 month old!)  He is truly a delight and such a blessing to our family.

Owen, this is our prayer for you.

owen: desire bred
Owen Klarke Bagby: a life desired

May you desire to follow Jesus, our Savior, and model your life after his all the days of your life.
May you desire to breed in your life love, wisdom, and a truthful heart.
May you desire to lead the world around you in peace, equality and restoration.
May you desire to give generously to others out of all that God has given to you.
May you use your energy to breed friendship, honesty, and service with your family and friends.
May you know every day that your life was and is desired by us and by God.
May God have favor on you and bless your life...a life desired.
