1 month down...

January is full of posts!!! I'm excited to look back over the year and remember all the things we've done, and how many precious memories we gave made.

Breakfast and baby Einstein

I think we are getting into a groove at work! Prayers for those affected by the tornado and storms today.

My working buddy

Little man stayed home with Daddy today, and short stack came with me. Cousin H was there to keep him company!

Eating at the big boy table!

Master F has graduated!

(And they are both smiling- that never happens on the first shot!)

Ill take them all

Happy Sunday

Lord please put the courage and strength in my heart to talk to my loved ones about my relationship with Christ, what it means to be a Christian and my desire for them to open their hearts to Jesus.

I pray you continue to move me through music and speak to me about your plans for me musically.

Pics from the trolly at church of my guys. Master F LOVES riding the trolly.

Loft

Tiff said to go to Anne Taylor Loft to get jeans, so I did. I ended up finding jeans that couldn't fit better if they were made specifically for me... Better yet they are size 4. #patmyselfontheback haven't seem that size pants since high school :-D

Back to work mommy

The boys and I are heading back to work! The plan is to help Susu for 6-7 months, finish her projects and get some savings built up. I'm so thankful I can bring the boys, and that they will get to see her and kids on a regular basis. I'm especially thankful for such a wonderful mother.

Touché

It's like somebody followed me around and recorded my day ;-)

Sometimes I can't believe...

That I made 2 whole people. Wow.

God's blessings on me

Lord,
I am so very thankful for my family. Whit is such a strong and dedicated husband and father. My boys are so loving, so bright and so creative. Thank you for giving me a heart to love them so completely with.
Amen.

My hidden talent...

I went I the grocery store with $70 cash and 2 bags (and master D of course). I went $0.68 over the $70, which I had in my wallet and was one dairy container over my bags. I'd say that's just about as close to dead on as you can be. Weird thing is, 4 of out 5 shopping trips I'm that close.

Just thought I'd pat myself on the back ;-)

Wanting to feed himself...

Short stack really wants to be feeding himself, and will even refuse to eat unless we give him a spoon to use also, or just help him get the spoon tohis mouth. It is happening so fast!!!

Today we are thankful for Nonno, who would skype us every day if we made the time for it!

Fun with friends

Little man's first time on a trampoline with M&M. Mr. M is the son of a friend of mine who I did gymnasticw with when we were 4 & 5. Life really comes full circle in the most clear ways sometimes!

Here comes the sun!

The sun finally came out after what has felt like WEEKS of rain! Master F said "Mommy, it's too shiny (read: bright). I need my sunglasses!" And he was very excited that Master D had some to wear too, who pulled them off immediately after the photos. Thank The Lord for sunshine and week mornings Whit has off!

We do what we do

Mama and short stack

Sweet snuggle bros

Cooking class

I went to a cooking class with mama and Vic and had a great time. It was nice to get out of the house without my babies, but I did miss them. Whit kept the boys at home and was a rockstar super daddy. He sent me picture updates while I was gone. What a blessing to be married to a man who loves his family so much.

Loves his boy
