Peek Inside

Well, Carter is 4 1/2 months and he is now a roller. He is eating single grain rice and is doing very well. He loves to look at his hands very intensly and he really enjoys faces. Jayden is coming up on 2 1/2 years. She is still potty training but is doing a great job. We have struggled a bit with her attitude. She definetly has a mind of her own and can climb almost anywhere. We just adopted a cat named Beans. :) He is so sweet. A perfect way to wrap our family of four to five. Brian and I have been eating whole grains, veggies and chicken. We have both lost 15 pounds each. There is so much to be thankful for. Thank you Lord for my wonderful family.

My sweet little fairy princess...

Jayden said her first sentence today. I asked her if she wanted some pancakes this morning. She said, " Yes I do." It made me smile. She is growing everyday and soaks up everything like a sponge. Time passes all too quickly, so cherish each moment you have in a day. No one knows when our last day will be. So...Carpe Diem...Cease the day!!!

Thank you Lord for what I have

For the last couple of weeks now, I was feeling like I needed to get something accomplished. Have some goals that I could accomplish immediately. That was so silly of me. Getting a dog, buying a house, starting a home business. That was just going to stress me out even more. Today I am choosing to take a step back, look at my priorities for our family and do it God's way. Why not..His way is better for me anyway. I had a selfish month. Not to say getting a dog, house and making money is all selfish, but for me...it was. Time to get back on track and to not be so narrow minded to what I want, but to what God wants for my family. Thank you Lord for my new found respect for everything I already have.

Back on His track

Alot has happened in the last few months. I was diagnosed with post partuum depression at my 6 week appointment. After a few meds and a talk with my dad. He helped me to realize that God is my strength and my salvation. During this hard time, I needed Him the most, not meds. So I stopped taking them and I got my head back on straight. It was like God flipped a light switch. It's like He was saying, " There, now you can see the light. Follow the path I have laid out for you and know that I will never leave you, nor forsake you. " Now, I am striving to be a better Mother, Wife, Daughter and Friend. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. Thank you Lord for Your promises and your agape love.
