Renewed

The Lord is doing amazing things with our family! This Sunday my husband are getting baptized! I am so excited and happy about taking this step together. It has changed our relationship in a way I never even dreamed of, as only having God as our foundation can do. We are truly blessed.
We have encountered some negative reactions, but are persevering and will not back down! This isn't about being religious, but about having a close relationship with Christ and putting God in control of our lives. After years of praying for Josh to have a relationship with the Lord, it is so amazing to see God work through him. He has amazing plans for this family, and am looking forward to our future growing in love and faith, and teaching our children about the wonders of the Lord.

My sweet little man

His first swing ride!

8 months old

It's been 8 months today since my precious little miracle man arrived into this world. I can not believe how quickly his first year is flying by, and before I know it, we will be getting ready for his first birthday. He is growing so quickly and is becoming more and more his own person. He is now sitting up and attempting at crawling, although he does get to where he wants to by rolling everywhere. He is definitely going at a slower pace than his sister, but that's ok. This little guy does things on his own terms, and that's ok with me!
Happy 8 month birthday Kellen, and thank you for choosing me as your mommy!

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.
