How Good is Good Enough?

My cousin wrote the amazing post on Good Friday - How Good is Good Enough? I really encourage you to take a few minutes to read it, it will be time well spent!

I have my copy of How Good is Good Enough on order :)

Here is a bit:

One of the best books I have ever read is a mere 92 pages long and no bigger than a large index card. The content of Andy Stanley’s How Good is Good Enough?, strikes my heart every time. I think the book hits so close to home because it addresses a question that so many people have and yet nobody is completely comfortable talking about….

Just how good do I have to be to get into heaven?

Will's 2nd Birthday

I can't believe our baby is 2!! Here are a few pics from the big day a couple weeks ago.

Opening a present - what I learned, he's not that into opening presents. He gets so into the one thing he opens that he loses interest in the other packages. Next year I think he'll get just one thing!

Birthday pancakes! I have no idea what he is looking at, not me, not Michael, maybe Pede was doing something particularly interesting!

We had a little party at the Children's Museum. I think fun was had by all :)

Lunch

and cake!

A rare family picture!

And a birhtday dinner out. Will LOVES pizza, so we went to Grimmaldi's. The pizza makers were great entertainment helping to pass the time as we waited!

An Update!

Just a few pics from the past couple months in no certain order - it's too hard to rearrange them after you upload them...if there is a trick, I don't know it.

We visited our TN cousins after Christmas, Will loves all his big cousins. Eli appears to be giving Andrew & Will whiplash here :)

Alexandra driving Maxwell and Will slowly!

Christmas was a lot of fun this year, we enjoyed watching Will take it all in. Although he did not like talk of Santa coming to our house in the middle of the night, so of course we dropped that conversation.

Santa came :)

Oh boy!

Glenna and Dennis decked out Will with lights and antlers so that we could fit right in at Lights in the Heights

I just love the boots with shorts!

Taking Pede for a walk around the cul-de-sac

In November we said good bye to Becky, Daniel, Reece & Joe. The will be serving God in Indonesia for the next three and a half years. You can read about their adventures here

Will is such a nurturer, feeding Mickey


And changing his diaper - we change lots of stuffed animal diapers around here!

San Antonio Getaway

A few weeks ago we took at little trip to San Antonio and had a lot of fun. Michael found a kiddie amusement park there, we weren't sure if Will would brave the rides or not, but we decided to try it. Boy did he surprise us, he hopped on every ride & was saying more at the end of each one!

Daddy was never too far away

Whoa horsey!

Flying an airplane

This one really shocked us, he climbed right in the cage for the ferris wheel. Since we were the only people there the operator let us take our time and stopped it after each time around so we could see if Will wanted off. Well, he loved it!

Up, up and away!

I got to tag along on the helicopters that go round and round & up and down....a little faster than I would have liked :)

Another day we went down to the riverwalk and rode the boats.

Evidently my nose was more entertaining than the tour guide or scenery!

Lunch on the riverwalk, mexican of course!

Hanging out in the hottub, becuase mama and daddy wanted to warm up, the pool was freezing!

We pretty much had the place to ourselves

On our way home we stopped at the Wildlife Safari, where you drive through and feed all kinds of animals. Pictures of that to come!

A Little Catching Up

Here is a peek of the happenings in the Wortley house over the past couple months. Michael had a birthday, that we celebrated with a family fun day to Huntsville State Park for a picnic & some fishing. Will liked the fish at first, you can see him signing 'more' at the bottom of this picture:



By fish number 2 he was crying!



Back home for daddy's birthday cupcakes, Will ended up looking similar to the way he did on his birthday!


We got brave one Saturday and decided to try going to an Astros game, it went way better than last year :)
Will liked watching the action from here, evidently he's not a fan of the nosebleeds

Will started school this fall, just one day a week and I think he is really liking it. He's happy when I drop him off & happy when I pick him up - I couldn't ask for more!

Enjoying a frozen yogurt stick in the hot Texas heat

Loving on his favorite doggie

Camo pants & rubber boots, 100% boy!

Will dressed himself this day, i think it's hilarious when he is so determined to wear certain things!

Will's new favorite spot

On Monday morning I was gathering up everything we needed for a trip to the pool. Will was running around doing whatever it is he does, jabbering away so I assumed all was fine. I made a trip to drop one bag ready for the car on the dryer to grab on the way out & look what I found:



That's right, he climbed in! He's been back in a few times since, he hasn't mastered getting out though!

Shoes

Recently Will has been loving putting on my shoes. This week I caught him like this! He is starting school one day a week in the fall & at his school they are required to wear tennis shoes. Now I'm thinking maybe I don't need to make a trip to Stride Rite, he can just borrow my shoes!!
