Praise God

Well, again it has been a while. Life gets pretty hectic in the spring and summer for us. Julian is in baseball, Aaron coaches it and Carlee is in T ball. Also, I am doing a women's Bible study on Mondays and babysitting on Tuesdays and working the other days.. whew...

I am loving this study on Mondays. Beth Moore is so energetic and she gets me pumped to do the homework. Yes, there is homework with it. It is not bad though. And only 5 days worth. And God is definitely talking to me thru this study. I was going over homework from last week and this is what I really got from it...
In Psalm 139 it talks about God creating us. And Beth said this... God knew us when he made us in our mothers womb. And God knew our mother intimately enough to choose her womb for the place where He would fearfully and wonderfully fashion us. God hid us in a blanket of soft tissue and bid our heart to beat. For many days He alone knew we existed. We were His secret. God's own skillful hands knit us together. Doesn't this make you feel so special?? It does me. And I also know that He made us for a reason. So my prayer is "God, what did you make me to do?"

I also need to praise God because if you remember, I have a friend who had a baby in her 23rd week of pregnancy. His name is Aiden. He was only a pound. And I know that God is keeping him in His hands. He is up to 4 pounds now!!! Thank you Lord.

I had a garage sale this past weekend. We made about 300 dollars. It went really well.
Also, the 23rd was Carlee's birthday. She is 6 now. And she got to go in to my work and have a little spa day. She got a manicure, pedicure, a haircut and style and her makeup done. She was so excited. And now she has a shorter bob. She looks older. She is such a blessing to us. I am thankful God chose us to be her parents. Even when she is acting like a 16 year old mouthy girl. :)

Well, that is all I have time for, for now...

Been a long time

Wow. So much has happened since my last post. I have been busy!
Where do I start???

Carlee's leg is not better so we have decided to go to Indy to Riley. That will be on May 12. Please keep her in your prayers. She starts T Ball this year. And her birthday is next week. She will be 6. I can't believe it!
Gavin is doing good. He went potty in the potty for the first time last SAt. I am so proud of him. He has gone more than once in the potty every day since. Yeah!!
Julian is good. Starting baseball soon.
Aaron's back is still a mess, but he is excited about baseball. He is coaching Julian again this year. So we will be at the baseball field alot this summer. It will be fun.
I have started a Women's bible study at my church every monday. It is going well. I enjoy it. And also Aaron and I are going to parenting classes our church is holding. It is 4 days. Last night was the first night. It is wonderful so far. So much good info and advice. I have been waiting for this for a long time. Since parenting does not come with a handbook, this is the next best thing! :)

Aaron and I are still planning our Florida trip with no kids in June. We will be gone 9 days. I have never left the kids that long. But I am excited. It will be good for Aaron and me. It is really cheap for us to go since Aubrey's grandma has a condo there. (We are going with our friends Jeremy and Aubrey.)

I have gained about 8 pounds back since my big weight loss. I have to lose 10 pounds now before our trip. Ugh!

Well, that is all for now!
