Cole Update!

Cole at almost 15 months~laughing, talking, semi-walking...he's the joy of our lives and Blane and I are having so much fun with him in this stage. Some of his favorites are trucks, buses, birds, his Da-da, baba, shoes, socks, airplanes, cars, trash, up, walk, saying his name and veggie tales (Bob!). He learns something new everyday and we're amazed at how much his little brain absorbs.

We have just three months before Cole's little sister joins the family and we are cherishing this time with our firstborn. Happy Thanksgiving!

Cole's "Ma-ma"

Toes Anonymous

Hi, my name is Cole and I'm obsessed with...feet. Actually, TOES to be exact and we've found that he doesn't discriminate-painted or not, light, dark, wiggly or still, he loves them all! In this pic he's even holding his own toes while zoning out at Grace's. What can I say-the kid has focus!

Better Bub?

Cole got to hang out with these coolios last weekend. I love that his little toes are sticking out at the bottom of this pic :).

This weekend Blane and I are off to our annual Youth Midwinter Retreat. Pray for all of us up there-that God would move and that we would all be responsive to His spirit!

And would you say an extra little prayer for this mama who is leaving her kiddo for the first time? I know it will be way harder for me (and Blane :) than it will be for him. He's going to be spoiled silly with his grandparents who can't WAIT to have him!

God Bless you and your weekend!

Some Highlights

Happy Friday all. This week has been a busy one...

Some highlights for me were our monthly HS bible study, working on our upcoming Midwinter retreat with one of my former youthers now turned staffer, and being able to see some of my youth play in their high school basketball games (Maya for MVP!)

Here's Cole showing you finger-sucking at its finest :).

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Super Bowl for Dummies

Hi there,

So the Super Bowl is this weekend and I'm actually quite excited about it. Blane and I have been watching a lot of football for some reason this season and I've found that I really enjoy it! Who knew?

I read an article online today and it made me laugh...it also educated me on all I need to know about this year's big game so at least I can sound like I know what I'm talking about come Sunday ;). If you're interested, you can read the article here. It's worth the read so you won't feel stupid when everyone else is talking football and you have no clue what the heck a "HarBowl" is. Just read the article-it'll fill ya in. ;)

Can't decide who I'm rooting for...the scandal-teased veteran or the backup-now-starter-qb? Eh-let's be honest, I'm really rooting for Beyonce+her halftime show! Woot woot! :D

Have a happy weekend all!

Happy New Year!

My stint as a stay at home Mom recently came to an end and I've been busy trying to juggle going back to work hence the lack of posts around here! 

How was the end of your 2012? Ours was full of family, plenty of celebrations and Cole's first Christmas and New Years. So much goodness in the month of December for us :D. I'd love to share some pics-maybe once I get around to editing the 800+ we have from those few weeks hah!

"Create in me a pure heart oh God that I might serve You." 

This is my own personal prayer for 2013. May it be yours as well!

Here's to all that the new year has in store for both you and me. God is with us!
