A New World

So N. Korea has a nuclear bomb. The world has taken a turn for the worse IMHO. Americans haven't given the news much life altering thought, but I think we're all a little nervous. I hate that far off threats like that are beyond my control. My desire is to give you the best life. So I do the things like lock the doors at night, wear my seat belt when driving, and keep an eye on strangers around you. I wish I could do more. And when I give it a little thought, I realize that I can. For God doesn't want us to live in fear, in fact he says that fear doesn't come from Him. So I pray for courage and guidance as I lead our family each day. I hope that you will be able to look back on your life when you are my age and see that I have done this. I love you little man! You're getting so big! For the past 2 weeks you and I have been pretty sick (coughing, congestion, etc) but you're looking pretty good now. I still have a throat (that's how your mom says sore throat). You are almost running now, and it's making your mom and I giggle. Also we feel pride, and a lot of other emotions. You're babbling a lot too and trying so hard to communicate. I think words will be right around the next corner. We are all excited about that.
Your Pepe and Nana and Terri came to visit us last week. We had a great time, and Nana had you in her face a lot. She went home with a cold, but she got better quickly. Terri had a birthday while they were here and I took her out for lunch, and then for dinner we brought in a large dinner from Colton's. It was tremendous - I ate too much.
Oh, I should mention that you were vastly affected by the caffeine in the chocolate found in the cookies your mom gave you yesterday. You stayed up an hour past your bedtime - it was crazy!
