Happy Monday!! Things are going well here for us. We've enjoyed some very warm weather the past few days. It's been wonderful to not have to bundle up the kids to just run to the van! This past weekend we spent time at Grandma Sandra's house and then time with our friends the Pierre's. We have a blast when we get together wtih them. Their kids are our kids ages as well so everyone has a friend! It was fun for me to have another woman to cook with! Even something as easy as pasta is easier and much more fun with a friend, and a huge kitchen!! Yesterday we had rain as if it was a tropical storm. Those are times i'm so thankful (again) to have a van b/c we can climb in to secure the kids and not stand in the rain. We had to get to church early yesterday because Gary had to practice before service with the worship team. Usually i try to keep the kids out of everyone's way but yesterday i decided to take them to the preschool classroom to have breakfast and play a bit. Unfortunately the leak in the ceiling that we thought would only be a winter problem is also a spring problem! I'm glad i was there early to catch it and hopefully save a bit of the carpet. :) Tyler thought it was just the coolest thing in the world that God sent rain in the church. :) It was a wonderful service and we celebrated communion. Gary being an elder helped serve which was wonderful to watch as his wife. God has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams with such a wonderful husband- God's best for me.

I wish we did communion more often to be honest. It's such a time of intimate worship and reflection with the Lord... it's also a reminder we all need more often I think. Jesus Christ really did suffer at the hands of men, and to take the punishment for my sins, died a horrible death. The best news that there is, is that he rose again so that we might also be resurrected with Him and live with him eternally in Heaven! I think if we did communion too often, we'd get hard hearted and take it for granted though.

The weekend before last we celebrated Josh and Lia's engagement! (Feb 28) Below are posted some photo's Lia took. I've nabbed them off of her facebook account so i'm not sure how well they will load. Gary's mom gave me the above adorable picture of the kids from her camera. Can you believe I forgot mine!?!!? how is that even possible!?!?

There isn't much new going on, just enjoying quiet days in the house full of play and projects and playing out in the mud some. Life will get crazy busy here soon enough so we're enjoying each day as it comes. We're working towards contentment which is never easy! I hope whoever reads this is well and i hope you know i love you and pray for you. God Bless!
