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? :)

Yes, you are blessed. Isn't it awesome how God reveals it at the most opportune times?

Yes, I'm actually coming in Monday and will be going back and forth to Lubbock, and will come home Thursday. We should do lunch one day if you'll be in the office.
