January...

For the past several years, Graham and I have spent the beginning of the year at Passion in Atlanta.  I think I put this in my last post as well, but Graham serves as a Team Lead for Passion each year.  It is an incredible joy and blessing to be a part of such an amazing event each year.  Sitting in an arena with over 10,000 college students worshiping Jesus is an experience unlike any other.  The Lord has truly blessed us by allowing us to be a part of this. 

I got to see a dear college friend of mine while I was in Atlanta!  She just got engaged so it was perfect time to celebrate this sweet time in her life!!

Love this man.  So, so proud of him!

 

Graham and I were hit with the dreaded stomach bug this month.  It is truly the WORST.  By the grace of God, our children did not catch it.  I have never been more thankful for a backyard for the kids to play in!

 

I have looked forward to this day since we moved in - we finally got our gas logs!  I LOVE a good fire in the fireplace on a cold day so I was thrilled to get these logs installed and working!

Graham picked Watson up from MDO one day and took him on a surprise trip to the mall to ride the carousel and eat ice cream.  This little boy was in heaven!!

 

The kids.  Could not love them more!  I count it such a blessing that I get to stay home with them every day.  It's not easy...and there are days that I feel I am on the crazy train...but even in the struggles and hard times, I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world.

Watson loves to watch his morning cartoons on the couch with a blanket every morning.  The mornings I let him eat his breakfast on the couch are his favorite!

This one.  Too much to handle :)

No shirt, Fireman hat, Full Moon tattoo.  He's ready for the day!

Uncle Rey holding down the fort.  Have I mentioned how much I love living so close to my sister and her family??  Such a blessing!

Watson is all in to his Preschool workbook.  He loves to learn...as long as he doesn't realize that's what he's doing :)  If I every say "Let's work on your numbers/letters/etc." He shuts down.  If I say "Let's play with your special book!" he is all about it!

This month was the women's retreat for our church.  It was a much needed 24 hours away...studying God's Word, resting, and refueling for every day life.  I had a blast...but was happy to get home to these rugrats too :)
