It's been a while unfortunately since I have written. Life has been moving right along with ups and downs, highs and lows, ebbs a flows. I have felt so often that I wanted to write. I felt that I wanted to share, but just couldn't. But here I am now. I will not look back and try to catch up or fill in the gaps, and the missing posts. I am going to move forward. That is our family motto..."Keep moving forward!"

It's a new year-twenty days into this new year- and I am looking forward to all God has in store for my little family. I want to continue to do my best to mold and shape and form our children's growing hearts. Time moves forward and what my little ones needed last January has changed in what they need this January.

Some things they will always need from Mommy and Daddy, but we are always observing the changes in our children, and what they need today. The joy they continue to give is overwhelming sometimes. I feel so thankful for the busy days.

 I feel thankful to hear their conversations of silly stories, made up jokes, compliments to each other, grand adventures they will, one day, take together. I feel responsible to teach them in their studies and in the way of the Lord. It's a weighty yet heavenly job.




Everyone is tucked in for the night. The house is quiet, as my Love is still at work. Will be home soon. It was a good day. Lots of hugs, stories, baths, haircuts, school work, piano practice, meals prepped and eaten and cleaned up. Lots of diaper changing. Lots of living.
