Truly Blessed!

This week has been an awesome week...other than the icy roads! Which actually were a blessing because I got to work from home on Tuesday. It's amazing how much more work I get done at home than at the office. Also, our Sunday School class has cooked us dinner EVERY night this week. Every night has been extremely good and enough for lunch the next day. I could get used to that...anyone know a FREE chef? PLUS, today the Lord provided some much needed "extra" funds for all those "extra" medical bills. We are so grateful to all of you who have been such a blessing in our lives.

Craig & I have been reading the Love Dare book. It has been so good for us, in just the first week we've both seen such a change in our relationship. If you haven't read it or even heard of it...click here. It's great!

Brynne Update: We went to the doctor last week because she's been spitting up/throwing up once or twice a day for a couple of weeks. I thought at first it was because she was getting too much milk, so we switched to bottles so we could control the amount she was getting. Then, I gave her a couple of days to really get used to the bottle but nothing really changed. I was afraid she had reflux, which after a barium test & x-ray, was confirmed. She's doing much better now but requires sitting up for at least 20 minutes after eating which is NOT so fun at night. At 6 weeks, she weighed 7lbs. 13 oz. & 20 1/2 inches long. I really do have a ton of pictures but haven't found the chance to edit them!

Koda Update: I can't believe how much he's grown - height & maturity. He's 41 inches & 42 lbs. He loves to "read", tell us what time it is and say his Bible verses. He especially loves to help with Brynne, making sure we feed her is his favorite "Big Brother duty". He told me the other day..."Mom, I'm just doin' my job!" We'll hopefully get a lot done on his room this weekend and finally get him in there. Hunting season is over so Craig will be home for awhile!

Please pray that our house in New Deal sells soon...I know God has a perfect plan, just keep wondering what it is? :)

Pictures of Brynne

I know I know I know! I really have been taking pics but the time has just been flying by. Brynne is 5 weeks old today and I cannot believe it. I'm back to work part time so its making me actually get dressed & leave the house! I definitely have enjoyed my time off work but I know I have to go back. It's really nice to be able to take Brynne with me so I don't feel like I'm completely abandoning her this early!! Anyway, here's some pics from the last couple of weeks...more to come...someday! (are you happy now Trajina?) :)

Oh yeah...we went to the doctor last week & she weighed 7 lbs. 5. oz & was 20 1/2 inches.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all. Here's what I woke up to this morning and the only thing that could've made it better is Craig being here. He's at the deer lease trying one last time to shoot SOMETHING!!!
No new resolutions for me this year...they haven't worked out well in the past, so I'm just gonna make this year my no resolution year. Let's just live it and see what happens!
We've had an awesome holiday season and still have a few more family gatherings to attend, then its back to school & back to work. I've got tons of pics to post...I'll do it soon! Look for more home makeover pics to come.
Have a safe and happy new year. I pray God's richest blessings on you all in 2009!
