I knew it had been a while since I last blogged, but I didn’t realize it was before Thanksgiving! We had a great Thanksgiving and Christmas with the kids. Josh and I had an uneventful New Year’s. Now things are starting to settle back into place. Last weekend was our 1 year anniversary. On one hand, I can’t believe that it’s only been a year, yet sometimes it feels like we got married just yesterday. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful children. This has been the best year of my life!
God made the way for us to get a mini-van this past weekend. I got it Friday evening. It will make the trips with the kids so much nicer. It is a 2008 Kia Sedona. We got a great deal on it. I told Josh that I feel like a real mommy now that I’m driving a mini-van. LOL.
Jacob is still growing like crazy. He last weighed 15lbs and measured 25 inches long. He is “talking” more and tests the volume of his voice daily. He is a really good baby, and everyone enjoys him immensely. He is having some trouble sleeping lately. He’ll do really well for a few nights, going to bed at a good time & sleeping all night in his cradle. Then, he’ll decide he wants to sleep with Mommy for a few nights. Silly boy! He has also started throwing little fits when things aren’t going his way. He’s too little to understand discipline, so I’m praying for wisdom to handle it. The girls still love him greatly and often issue their “wisdom and direction” when Josh and I are dealing with him. We have to remind them that we are the parents and they need to mind their own business. It’s sweet that they feel so protective of him, but their interference gets them in trouble.
We are still praying about the house situation. We desperately need more space. I am asking that if it is God’s will for us to stay where we are and remodel, that He change my heart about it. I really don’t want to remodel. It’s such a hassle and mess. But I want God’s perfect will, and financially it may be our best option. We didn’t think we would be able to get a van this soon and He worked that out, so I believe He is working on our behalf regarding the house.
All things work together for the good of those who are called according to His purpose. I’m called, so things are working toward my good! Be blessed!
