Changing Times

Someone recently said to me, "What happened to the Jenny I knew?".
Oh how these last 2 years seem to have changed me! I sat and recalled different things, friends, times, laughs, trials...and yes, I see I have been shaped into a slightly different person now. Marriage and now a child of my own...how time goes by so quickly and shapes us with it's wearing. I'm not so sure it's a bad thing to be changed by these events...it's just sometimes a difficult thing; but we rejoice in the hope of God conforming us into what He desires for us. My goals and dreams years ago are definatly different from what they are today but I see that we cannot cling to what once dreamed of 'once upon a time' but rather be soft to the changes that the Lord may want to make in us instead of stubbornly clinging to the (perhaps) selfish dreams and ambitions.
Being a mother has been quite a blessing!--as well as being a wife and now parent with my husband. God has been working lately to open our eyes to some things and the result, so far, has been good. We are praying that He will continue to work with us and to show us clearly, His will for our lives forward. I am excited to see what is in the future for Chad and I and our little family. We hope for great things to be accomplished!
Simeon Joseph is growing so fast!! It's almost sad to see- I almost wish we could make time go a little slower, but we are excited also for him to grow and develop more. Chad can't wait till he is walking and talking. He enjoys playing with him now though. :) They have some fun times together and some adorable laughs too. :)  It's fun to watch.
Simeon is 15lbs already and 25 inches long! He loves his bath times the most and also enjoys being outside. We were given a great stroller for one of our babyshowers and have been using it as much as possible. It's wonderful! We are thankful!
Chad's work has really picked up lately. He is working quite a lot and traveling. He will be going out to Utah next week again. It's nice when Simeon and I can go with, but when he is this small it is a little harder. Hopefully we can go with more when Simeon is older.
Infinty is enjoying her little brother. She thinks he's pretty adorable (which is true) :) She had softball this year again and did well. She also is growing up fast! She will be 14 on her next birthday! Crazy! We continue to be in prayer for her salvation and also for the continued adjustment to this new life of ours. Your prayers, of course, are so very appreciated.
We hope all is well with all of you and would LOVE to hear from you!
Blessings to all of you from the Stewart Family! <3
