Learning new stuff!!

I finally learned to French braid!!! Definitely need to keep practicing but not bad for a second try!

I even did mine!! So excited to discover I can do something with hair. Now I will try new things and see what we can do. 

I have started preschool with the kiddos. So this week we are learning the letter Aa. We do a craft, a color page and a game every day to help them learn the letter. My goal is to have them know the letter and what it says. Christiana already knows all of them, but it's a great review. Plus she is helping Joseph learn them!!

I will do my best to keep you updated on what we are doing :)

God is good! We are almost to the end of another calendar year and I just wanted to take some time to thank God for what He has done this year in my life. 

1. He gave us a new precious addition- Naomi

2. He has provided for all our financial struggles this year 

3. He has shown me to slow down a little and take time with Him and my little ones

4. He has grown Todd and I closer

5. He has provided all of our kids clothes this year... Amazing :)

6. He has given us many new faces in Sunday school

7. He has loved me unconditionally when I keep falling on my face over the same issues

8. He has provided me a friend in my sister in law that I can talk of spiritual things

9. He has helped me learn to cook chicken in all kinds of ways 

10. He has helped me lose quite a bit of weight since I had the baby. 

I could keep going but I will leave it there for now. :) why don't comment something you are thankful for.

7. A hard worker

8. Cares about others outside the home

9. Takes care of those within her house

12. She is not lookin for a reward but knows there is rejoicing to come

13. She is wise

14. She is kind( Lord has been working on me bout this one. How I speak to my kids will impact them for the rest of their lives. Resolving not to yell but go to them and talk to them calmly, firmly and lovingly.)

15. Not lazy

16. Children and husband adore her

Naomi is getting big fast!!!!

Christiana transformed into an otter at the zoo. :) We just got a zoo pass again so we made it a family day to go. It's one of my favorite places to take the kids.

Christiana turned 3 on the 17th of October!!!! What? Where did the time go? This is a bad pic but we got her a bike and she is loving it! 

Our little man is looking more and more like his daddy :) 

My honey is amazing!

When we were cleaning the garage out (which we didn't get much of it done) we found something from our wedding. It was our cake stand that a guy in our church made for us. The bottom was starting to rot because of all the moisture from our trailer. But the top was still nice so I had an idea of making into a turn table for our table. Of course I only think of ideas but have no idea how to actually do it. That is why I'm married to a wonderful handyman who loves a challenge. He managed to take fan apart and use pieces from that to create what I was thinking. 

Amazing....:)
