A Special Date

A few weeks ago Matthew and I got to go on a special date together!!! It was so wonderful to spend some quality time together, focusing on each other. I'm so thankful for this great guy I get to call my husband. It was pretty awesome to see this beautiful rainbow at the end of our day together, what a great reminder of God's faithfulness to us.

Riding on the Train!!

waiting so patiently...
All aboard!!! I think I must have been looking forward to this more than I realized!!
What a fun ride, we got to go around the track 5 times. Liam loved every bit of it. His favorite part? The "Hunnels" (tunnels :) the "DAAARKKKK Hunnels", he talked about them for days!
And Hudson?? He slept through the whole experience!

Photo Fun!!

So sorry about my last post... to tell the truth I was just being lazy and didn't feel like re learning how to do links etc... It's been way too long since I did any of that. But I really do want to share with you all. (well, the 2 of you :) I've been reading this fabulous blog lately called My Charming Kids. Jennifer has an amazing heart for Jesus and a great blog, I LOVE reading her stuff... everything form healthy eating, to marriage, to fun Photography tips!! So the other day when I posted that picture I had been experimenting with some of the tips I had learnt off of her blog!! I'm not sure if the photos publish big enough for you to tell exactly what i did... but I was blurring the background, and making the eyes pop! I hope that you'll go over and have some fun too.

::Before::

::After::


Mckmama really does take some aMAZing photos!! Check these out. What I love MOST about Mckmama though is her heart for Jesus and how it shines through in her writing. They have been through a really hard time with their youngest son.. lots of health issues, life threatening! and I just can't imagine... my heart aches as I read about stellan and pray for him. (their youngest son.) He has been doing great lately, and such an amazing testimony of God's mercy. If you have time read this post. It will touch your heart, and encourage your spirit, and will probably make you cry!!
and of course this post won't be complete with out thanking Sara-Beth for directing me to My Charming Kids in the first place:)))) Thanks SB!

Just playing around...

I Love to play around with photos. I tried out a new technique this morning, so thought I'd share with you all!

Just Hangin around...

Spending the evening with the ones I love.

Waiting for our train...

This is one of Liam's most favorite places. Can you see him.... ?
We have a beautiful park not far from were we're living. It has a TRAIN that runs on the weekend, with ducks and a great play ground. Matthew used to come here when he was a little boy, and even Matthew's mom came here when she was a little girl!! I'll post some pictures of us actually riding the train soon. Liam waiting for the train to come.... reminds me of where Matthew and I are in life right now, waiting for our 'train' to come. waiting on the Lord. I know HIS timing is always perfect.

Me and my little BOYZ

These little dudes are such an amazing blessing! They push me towards Christ in ways that I have never known before. In awe of the love that I feel, but painfully aware of my inadequacies... amazed that my Heavenly Father loved me enough to give up Christ!! Leaning on HIM everyday, to love them in a way that might reflect even a little bit of HIS love.

Everyday FUN

Trying to keep Christ the center of what I do, think and say is a daily challenge... I deeply desire for Him to be my focus and my constant Joy, my strength when I am weak, (which is ALL the time :) Here's one of the ways in which I try to remind myself.

Why Hello There!!

It has been waayyyyyy to long since we have showed our faces here... 4 and a half months to be exact! so here we are, and we're doing well. As you can see Hudson is growing up way too fast, we're trying to savor the moments, the smiles and the cooo's, although we're glad that all the crying seems to be done!! (He basically cried the first three months of his life... and it is just SUPER to see him enjoying life!!!) We hope that your enjoying life too :)
