Nicholas Quincy Moore

We have a new addition to the Moore family! Nicholas Quincy Moore arrived on 01/03/09 at 12:38 a.m. weighing 7 lbs and 12 oz and 19 1/4" long. Mark (dad), Sarah (mom) and big brother Benjamin along with Nicholas are doing fine. They live in Holley, Michigan so we just can't hop in the car and go see them. My in-laws are leaving tomorrow headed up there. Hopefully Jimmy and I can make a trip up there this summer! Benjamin loves being a big brother. As you can see in the above picture, he looks like he is just beaming! But, he just can't seem to understand why Nicholas can't get down on the floor and play cars with him or why Nicholas can't watch movies with him. When he became a big brother he thought he would automatically have a play partner and Nicholas would automatically be able to do things with him. But that's how life is. It's in our human nature to want and want it now.... I think patience is the most clever thing God has made. He doesn't work on our time, but he works on his time. And a lot of the times, just like a parent, he doesn't give us everything we want. And what do we do? We say "but why?" Isn't it funny how we adults act like that crying child, wanting everything, to our holy parent, God? This year hopefully I can whine less and be more patient!
