Today

Today I start my online journal for our family and friends to keep up to date on our life happenings, the kids new milestones and the adventures we experience. I can begin by saying Life is Great!! We are blessed in so many ways. Tim and I are so lucky to have each other and thank God every day for our two beautiful boys.

We have certainly been through a great deal these past few months with the house fire, but I can honestly say that we are pulling through with flying colors. We have a renewed perspective and it has only become clearer to us that material things are just that . . . material. We lost so much the morning of November 7th and it has affected us on many levels much deeper than we could have imagined; however, it has only strengthened us as a family. Everything happens for a reason and although it is difficult to always understand that, we have Faith that this was all in God's plan. Don't get me wrong, though, I will have many questions for Him when we meet :)

The house we are in is starting to feel more and more like home and that makes all the difference in the world. It appears as though everything is going to work out with the sale of our house and the purchase of the one we are in now, but keep your fingers crossed for us. I will keep you posted on any changes.

Aside from that, Blake and Bryce are doing just great! Blake will be 3 in just a few short months and we have been working on potty training. It could be going better, but I think we are making progess.
Bryce is a busy little guy, testing his limits and getting into EVERYTHING! He plays us as much as possible and has quickly figured out what tugs at our hearts in order to get what he wants. Yes, that spells trouble, so we have been keeping a close eye on that little one. We are loving every minute of the ups and downs of parenting and keep reminding ourselves to stop to take it all in once in a while.

Well, I am excited to be sharing this with all of you and think it is a perfect outlet for me as well. I will try to update you as frequently as possible and I would love to hear from you, so please leave your comments!
