An update

So the Barnard life is blessed as always. We are lucky to have a God so big!
Tim is busy at work, it is hectic for him most of the time, and he is at work for an average of 12-15 hours a day. He is going to be out of the military in under a year now, so we are excited to see the new path the Lord has for him. He has been spending some much needed time with his bow, as it is usually his only escape from the daily grind and sometimes ominous tasks I put on him. But he is a trooper and a loving and serving husband.
Jairus is definitely a boy. Eat, Destroy, read, dance is usually his recipe for the day! I love it though, he is learning so much, and his language is getting better and better each day. We are learning about taking care of our toys, and he is actually pretty good about putting his books away after we read them. Speaking of books, he loves the same 6 books.... over and over and over. I know all of them pretty much by heart! Dr. Seuss anyone?
As for myself... I have allowed my walk with the Lord to become pretty stale and complacent. So He is now working a few uglies out of me at the moment, and I am getting back on track with reading my Bible and walking it out. Work is going good, I am just ready to not work for awhile. February is not that far away! And for those of you who don't already know, we are trying for another baby! We have been for the last few months, and haven't gotten there yet, so hopefully this month around, we will be blessed! We are also praying about adoption. We don't know yet how we are called to be involved, when or anything like that, I have been praying about it, and I know we are supposed to be involved. But I think that we will be adopting at some point. We will see what the Lord has in store for us! I have gotten this Bible verse a couple times in my last Bible study: Psalm 68:5-6: A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. 6 God sets the lonely in families, he leads fourth the prisoners with singing... Who knows where The Barnards fall into that Scripture, but I know it will be somewhere good!
