Life...

I haven't blogged in awhile, so as the babies nap I thought I'd take a minute to update.
Life as we know it is going pretty good right now, despite a few setbacks. We are all getting over a pretty nasty cold, and Kellen ended up getting an ear infection from it, poor guy. Of course the antibiotics have also given him a nasty side effect, so we've been going through many dirty diaper changes lately. He only has two more doses left, so hopefully this will all be behind us very soon. He has also been a little more fussy and clingy lately, so I'm hoping his teeth will finally grace us with their appearance soon. He is over 7 months now, and although he is behind his sister physically a bit(but still within normal), he is growing so quickly. He is now close to 17lbs, and rolling over all over the place. That is when he is content not being held, which isn't very often. He adores his brother and sisters, and they him. He is a great eater and overall joy to be around.
Josh and I have been doing pretty well in our quest to get healthy. Even in spite of the fact that I had to take over two weeks off because my cold(and then Kellen's) had gotten so bad. I'm still losing weight though, and it feels so good to watch the numbers on the scale go down. The gym is my refuge and stress relief, and I really look forward to my morning workouts. I love watching my muscles grow, especially when Josh starts noticing too. I am seriously addicted!
The biggest change in our life has been that Josh has found the Lord! I have prayed for this for years, and feel so blessed that he has opened himself up to it. We are attending church regularly as a family, and it has definitely strengthened our marriage. After all, God should be the foundation. I feel so blessed beyond words and thank God every day for giving me such an amazing husband. I am so proud that my kids have such a wonderful male role model in their lives. I am looking forward to this new chapter and watching us grow as a family in Christ.
