Having a Hard Day!

I was making a cake for Louis so I let Josiah lick the spoon. He was having fun until I took out the camera and would not let him have it. Melt down ensued. Poor baby is sick so it is to be expected sometimes.

What a gift!

As I look back over the many photos and videos of our last 16 months I just stare in awe at the wonder of God's creation in my precious son Josiah. From the time he was born and barely moving around till now, when he seems so grown up to me some days, I just bask in the wonders of being a mother and getting to sit by and watch him grow up and experience like. I never dread the day ahead because I know I have a partner with me. He is my pal. I love him so much I can barely keep myself from waking him up in the middle of the night to hug him. As we enjoy these last few months together just him and I (oh, Louis is there somewhere. Just kidding... he is still my main man) I hope to treasure each moment and not get too preoccupied with our upcoming baby Aaron. Josiah is a treasure to me. A jewel in my crown. I would lay down my life for him and pray whole heartily that his salvation in Christ would come quickly. Thank you Lord for letting me be a mother. What a gift!

Family Update 2012

I figured I best write a quick note to update everyone on where we are in life.

First off, we are all happy and healthy and that is more important.

Louis is still working at Travis County Sheriffs Department and is in the process of writing his second book, "Rank of Throne" (http://www.louisamparan.com/). He is a great dedicated father and a wonderful loving husband of nearly 7 years.

Josiah is now 16 months and is growing and learning everyday. He is a joy and a blessing. He has 8 teeth and can say kitty, hi, bye, mama, dadda, and a few times baby. He loves to play with his 3 light sabers and watch Clone Wars with daddy.

I am doing well myself. I am 21 weeks pregnant with our second son Aaron. He is due June 8th and we are so excited to be having another boy (Josiah gets to be a big brother to a little brother and less stuff to buy). We have recently started eating gluten free because of a skin allergy so I have had to learn how to prepare food without using wheat or other gluten containing products. BTW, my skin is looking better after only a month and it is not as hard as I once thought.

Louis and I are still doing ministry work with Cares and loving it. We recently have started a weekly Bible study with our church that meets in our apartment clubhouse and it allows us to reach out spiritually to the community. We will be signing up for our 4th year in May and looking forward to reaching out in love to even more Cedar Park residents.

We miss all the family and friends that we have not seen in a while but know that we think about you and pray for you a lot.

Be blessed in whatever path you are on and never lose hope for a better future,

Louis, Natalie & Josiah Amparan
